Recent News Ahead of the Q4 Print
On November 19, Adobe agreed to buy Semrush (SEMR) for $12 per share in cash, valuing the company at about $1.9 billion.

Analysts’ Views Ahead of Adobe’s Q4 Print
Ahead of the Q4 report, TD Cowen analyst J. Derrick Wood kept his Hold rating and $420 price target on Adobe. He said partner checks remain steady, and noted that demand for Adobe’s AI tools is picking up even as competition grows. Third-party credit card data showed 4% year-over-year growth, slightly below the prior quarter’s 5%. Wood expects a small beat and guidance in line with the Street, and believes the stock could bounce from current levels given its low valuation.
Meanwhile, Barclays analyst Saket Kalia cut his price target on Adobe to $415 from $465 but kept an Overweight rating ahead of the Q4 report. The 5-star analyst expects solid net-new Digital Media ARR in the quarter. Kalia also sees Adobe ending FY25 with steady total ARR growth and thinks the company could guide to 10%-plus growth for FY26.
In addition, he expects the Semrush deal, expected to close in the first half of 2026, to add a small boost to revenue next year.
