Sept 10 — Adobe beat Wall Street estimates for third-quarter revenue βon Thursday, as demand for its AI-integrated products and tools continued to grow.
The company reported βrevenue of $6.76 billion for the quarter, compared with analysts' average estimate β of $6.70 billion, according to βdata compiled by LSEG.
Adjusted β profit per share for the quarter came in βat $6.13, above analysts' βestimates of $6.09.
Adobe has been pushing AI across its β creative and customer-experience products β as it seeks to defend its position against newer rivals. AI-first annual recurring revenue grew more than 150% year over year in the third quarter.
Adobe has also undergone a series of leadership βchanges. The Photoshop maker named βAnil Chakravarthy as its next CEO last week, with longtime chief executive Shantanu Narayen set to become executive chair on December 1.
Chakravarthy, an Adobe insider who has led its customer experience and worldwide field operations, will take charge as the βcompany seeks to accelerate growth in the AI era. βThe CEO βtransition β follows the departure of CFO Dan Durn in June. Durn was replaced on an interim basis by Steve Day, a longtime Adobe finance executive, while David βWadhwani, president of Adobe's βCreativity & Productivity business, is βdue to step β down on βSeptember 27.
