- Adobe surpassed expectations on earnings and revenue.
- Management boosted full-year guidance.
- The stock jumped in extended trading.
On Thursday, extended trading saw a 15% increase in shares of the design software maker after its earnings and revenue exceeded expectations.
Here's how the company did in comparison with LSEG consensus:
- Earnings per share: $4.48 adjusted, vs. $4.39 expected
- Revenue: $5.31 billion vs. $5.29 billion expected
In the quarter that ended on May 31, Adobe's revenue increased by 10% compared to the previous year, as stated.
The company forecasted adjusted earnings per share of $4.50 to $4.55 and revenue of $5.33 billion to $5.38 billion for the fiscal third quarter, while analysts predicted $4.48 in adjusted earnings per share and $5.4 billion in revenue.
Adobe has updated its full-year view, predicting adjusted earnings per share between $18.00 and $18.20 and revenue of $21.40 billion to $21.50 billion. Analysts surveyed by LSEG had previously projected $18.02 per share in adjusted earnings and $21.46 billion in revenue.

In recent weeks, software peers SentinelOne, UiPath, and Veeva have lowered their full-year revenue forecasts due to economic downturn and increased focus on AI development.
Despite the S&P 500 index's rise of approximately 14% this year, Adobe's shares had fallen 23% prior to the release of the statement.
Analysts will receive a conference call from executives to discuss the results starting at 5 p.m. ET.
