Why Adobe, SMCI, and Uber Stock Dropped

This morning, investors will watch PDF and Photoshop supplier Adobe Systems (ADBE). After markets closed on Wednesday, the firm reported 2025 guidance that did not meet expectations.

Adobe earned $4.81 a share (non-GAAP) as revenue increased by 11.1% Y/Y to $5.61 billion. For FY 2025, revenue of up to $23.55 billion missed consensus by around $0.25 billion. Sellers are over-reacting. Salesforce (CRM) and ServiceNow (NOW) both trade at a significant premium. CRM stock, for example, trades at a forward P/E of 35 times, compared to 30 times for ADBE stock.

After CEO Liang assured shareholders that the company would file the necessary reports, Super Micro Computer (SMCI) fell by 5.55%. At below $40, the stock risks re-testing the $25.00 zone. Investors who do not want the exposure of the controversy around the firm have other options. Western Digital (WDC), Seagate (STX), Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE), and Dell Technologies (DELL) are alternative investments.

Uber (UBER) dropped in sympathy to General Motors (GM) announcing the Cruise self-driving write-off. At a conference hosted by Barclay, Uber discussed the growth deceleration in the pace of ride-hailing gross bookings. Still, Uber enjoys above-average growth rates in San Francisco. It also has strong gross bookings that are above average.
