On July 21, Adobe fell 3.07% in pre-market trading, trading at $227.22/share, with turnover of $2.7119 million.
On the news front, Morgan Stanley downgraded Adobe to Underweight with a $240 target price, becoming the third major bank to issue an explicitly bearish call in recent weeks. Earlier, BNP Paribas argued that cloud giants are using AI-native tools to dismantle Adobe's full-workflow competitive moat, while Bank of America initiated coverage with an Underperform rating and a $190 target price, citing AI's ongoing erosion of growth momentum and limited near-term acceleration prospects.
The downgrade wave coincided with broad-based SaaS sector weakness, with ServiceNow falling over 4% and Salesforce declining nearly 3%, amplifying industry-wide selling pressure. Although Adobe briefly rebounded on July 17, the concentration of bearish signals has capped recovery attempts, pushing shares back under pressure. Adobe has now fallen approximately 37% year-to-date as markets continue to reprice legacy software names facing AI disruption risks.
