Adobe raises outlook as AI revenues top $500 million
Adobe lifted full-year revenue guidance to $26.5-26.6 billion and non-GAAP EPS to $24.35-24.45 after record Q2 results driven by AI-first demand. AI-first ARR more than tripled year-over-year and now exceeds $500 million, validating the company's Creative Cloud and Experience Cloud AI integration strategy. CFO Dan Durn's departure on June 15 adds uncertainty, though interim replacement Steve Day brings 20 years of Adobe finance experience. The guidance beat and AI momentum signal Adobe's early success monetising generative AI tools, crucial as the company faces competition from OpenAI, Midjourney and other AI-native creative platforms.
