Sept 10 — Adobe beat Wall Street estimates for third-quarter revenue ​on Thursday, as demand for its AI-integrated products and tools continued to grow.

The company reported β€Œrevenue of $6.76 billion for the quarter, compared with analysts' average estimate ⁠of $6.70 billion, according to ​data compiled by LSEG.

Adjusted ⁠profit per share for the quarter came in β€Œat $6.13, above analysts' β€Œestimates of $6.09.

Adobe has been pushing AI across its ⁠creative and customer-experience products ⁠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 β€Œchanges. The Photoshop maker named ​Anil 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 ​company seeks to accelerate growth in the AI era. β€ŒThe CEO β€Œtransition ⁠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 β€ŒWadhwani, president of Adobe's ​Creativity & Productivity business, is β€Œdue to step ⁠down on ​September 27.
