Adobe Inc. is undergoing a rare CEO transition with Anil Chakravarthy set to become CEO on December 1. Analyst opinions are divided: Oppenheimer rates Adobe as 'Perform' (hold), while Bank of America issues a 'Sell' rating with a $220 price target, citing concerns over the company's ability to convert AI demand into significant financial growth.
