Redburn Rothschild Downgrades Adobe Inc. (ADBE) to ‘Neutral' Rating; Lowers Price Target
For Q2 FY25, Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE) reported revenue of $5.87 billion, a YoY increase of 11%. Meanwhile, its GAAP EPS grew by 13% to $3.94 per share. Furthermore, the company's Digital Media segment achieved an ARR of 12.1% ($18.09 billion), contributing to record Q2 operating cash flow of $2.19 billion.
Despite strong Q2 results, Redburn Rothschild reduced its price target for Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE) from $420 to $280, downgrading it to a 'Neutral' rating. This downgrade, which occurred on July 2, 2025, is attributed to the much-anticipated IPO of Figma, which filed an update regarding its IPO offering on July 1, 2025. According to the official announcement, the rival firm has filed a registration on Form S-1 with the U.S. SEC for the proposed IPO of its Class A common stock. This potential IPO of Figma raises concerns around Adobe's competitive position in the market, particularly after its failed $20 billion acquisition of Figma in 2023.
Nevertheless, Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE) is progressing well and is already ahead of its $250 million AI revenue goal for FY25, thanks to its Firefly and Acrobat AI Assistant tools. Moreover, its full-year guidance remains the same, indicating FY25 EPS of $20.50-$20.70.
Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE) offers Digital Media and Digital Experience platforms, delivering creative, document, and experience-based solutions to creators, marketers, and enterprises globally.

'Quiet Purge': Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Warehouses Hit by Immigrant Labor Pushback
Online retail giant Amazon (AMZN) has a remarkable talent for getting large quantities of goods where they need to be in rapid fashion. But that talent did not manifest out of thin air. No, it is the result of thousands of workers at Amazon's warehouses and delivery operations that make it possible. And new reports say that it may have just been hit by a rather serious monkey wrench thrown into its works with the United States government's new attempt to run off illegal immigrants. Despite this, investors rallied around their choice of shopping venues and raised share prices fractionally in Monday afternoon's trading.

One particular case focused on Frantzdy Jerome, originally from Haiti, who worked in an Ohio warehouse. Jerome had received kudos from Amazon several times; once in March, a supervisor called him out for his '…reliability, hard work and dedication to our team.' A second message just months later thanked Jerome for '…your flexibility and picking up the extra shifts.' But two weeks later, Jerome's work authorization was revoked, and his was not the only one. 'Hundreds' of others reportedly lost jobs at that Ohio warehouse, for the same reason: they were only allowed to work here because of a Biden-era program that has itself been revoked. While the impact is hitting Amazon, Amazon is hardly alone in this, reports note. A range of businesses—from auto parts plants to warehouses and beyond—are all taking hits from this policy. Alexa's Online Push Gets Pushed Back Meanwhile, Alexa is having some issues of its own. Four months ago, Amazon announced plans to bring out a web-based version of the Alexa virtual assistant to take on the likes of Grok and ChatGPT. But reports now suggest that bringing Alexa to the web proved a bigger challenge than expected, and now, Amazon needs more time to get the concept off the ground. In fact, new reports from late June say that there will be no way goes live any sooner than July 31. With the date now a floor rather than a ceiling, we may not see Amazon's attempt at landing a piece of the chatbot market before August, or even later. There were no specific reasons given for the deadline push, but the obvious does suggest itself: it is harder than you might think to engineer a chatbot. Is Amazon a Good Long-Term Investment? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on AMZN stock based on 44 Buys and one Hold assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 16.76% rally in its share price over the past year, the average AMZN price target of $250.95 per share implies 10.51% upside potential.

Volvo Car to Take $1.2 Billion Hit From Tariffs, EV Launch Delays
STOCKHOLM–Volvo Car late Monday warned that President Trump's tariffs and launch delays would hit the profitability of two electric models in the U.S., leading to a $1.2 billion one-off charge. The Swedish carmaker, which is majority-owned by China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, has been grappling with tariff uncertainty, muted electric-vehicle demand and intensifying competition in China. It recently said it would cut around 3,000 jobs as part of a wider plan to slash costs and become more efficient amid the challenging global auto market.
