Where ADBE is headed
Adobe today trades at 9.5x forward earnings. Cisco in 2002. IBM in 2014. That's the company the market thinks it's looking at: a dying software franchise getting eaten by Midjourney, Runway, Canva, and whatever OpenAI ships next Tuesday. The chart agrees. From $570 in 2024 to $250 today, a 56% drawdown while the S&P made new highs. The story writes itself, and it's wrong in an interesting way.
