Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE) will announce its earnings on Thursday, June 12, 2025. Historically, the stock has shown negative reactions the day following earnings announcements. In the last five years, Adobe's stock has declined in 70% of cases, with a median drop of 7.4% and a maximum one-day loss of 16.8%.
For traders focused on events, recognizing these historical trends can provide a competitive edge. You have two primary strategies to think about:
Analysts anticipate Adobe's earnings to be $4.97 per share with sales of $5.8 billion. This reflects an increase from the same quarter last year, during which earnings were $4.48 per share on revenue of $5.31 billion. Although the company's subscription business has been thriving and is likely to boost sales this quarter, revenue growth in the generative AI sector has lagged behind expectations. It will be intriguing to observe how this trend evolves in the forthcoming report.
Regarding the fundamentals, Adobe currently boasts a market capitalization of $180 billion. Over the past twelve months, the company has generated $22 billion in revenue, with $8.0 billion in operating profits and a net income of $6.8 billion. If you're looking for upside with lower volatility than individual stocks, the Trefis High Quality portfolio offers a viable alternative — it has outperformed the S&P 500 and achieved returns surpassing 91% since its inception.

ADBE 1D, 5D, and 21D Post Earnings Return
A strategy with relatively lower risk (though not effective if the correlation is weak) is to investigate the correlation between short-term and medium-term returns post earnings, identify a pair with the highest correlation, and execute the suitable trade. For instance, if 1D and 5D display the highest correlation, a trader can take a 'long' position for the next 5 days if the 1D post-earnings return is positive. Below is some correlation data based on 5-year and 3-year (more recent) history. Note that the correlation 1D_5D pertains to the relationship between 1D post-earnings returns and following 5D returns.

New Report: How Travel Marketers Are Using AI
The travel business has unparalleled access to customer data, and AI offers ample avenues to apply it and improve the traveler experience. By creating insights and knowledge, including who to talk to, where to reach them, and what to say to them, AI offers travel marketers unique opportunities to help their brands make better decisions that can drive business growth at scale. This sponsored content was created in collaboration with a Skift partner. The travel industry stands apart in terms of the vast amounts of customer data it has at its fingertips. Travel's customer journey is uniquely personal, and the complexity of planning and booking yields rich customer profiles unparalleled in other industries and sectors. This outstanding opportunity comes with an equally daunting challenge. The amount of data available to travel marketers is much more than any person or team of people can make sense of on their own. Enter AI. Applications of AI technology give travel marketers the ability to create insights and knowledge, including who to talk to, where to reach them, and what to say to them. This offers opportunities to help their brands make better decisions that can drive business growth at scale. According to a 2024 Skift survey, nearly 90% of travel marketing leaders said that AI will be important in driving overall business value for their organization in the next three years. However, just 64% said they had already deployed AI solutions for marketing and advertising. This gap indicates that many in the industry willingly acknowledge the value of AI, but actual implementation often lags behind interest. What's holding them back? A new Epsilon Pulse research report analyzed motivations, investments, and barriers to AI across the retail, financial services, travel, restaurant, and consumer packaged goods (CPG) industries. Its insights help travel executives in all departments better understand how AI is revolutionizing the customer experience — and what they can do now to leverage its benefits to improve engagement and drive more revenue. AI Strategies for Travel Marketing: Key Trends and Highlights Travel Lags in Some Aspects of AI Strategy Like marketers in other industries, a vast majority of travel leaders are already invested in using AI for marketing. However, travel had the highest prevalence of non-users (11%), while all other sectors checked out between 4% and 6%. Furthermore, the travel industry was the least likely to find AI capabilities 'extremely valuable' for their business. Overall, 46% of marketers gave this response, compared to about 38% among travel leaders. Breaking the Cycle of Reactivity According to travel marketers, 'cost reduction' was the most common reason their organizations were motivated to adopt AI. By comparison, leaders in all other industries were most likely to say their organizations were primarily motivated by 'improving the customer experience' or 'increasing operational efficiency.' In addition, the travel industry's number one barrier to AI adoption was 'fear of change.' The landscape is changing around them, and if travel marketers aren't able to persuade organizational leaders how AI can benefit them through proactive customer engagement, they'll continue to lag behind. Top AI Applications for Travel Marketing Looking around at their counterparts, 33% of travel marketers believe that their colleagues and competitors in the industry are using AI effectively to offer personalized recommendations for customers, the most common response in the survey. When asked about specific marketing challenges that they believe AI can solve, 61% of travel marketers said that customer journey mapping was the most useful, followed distantly by predictive maintenance (39%). Additional Research and Data in This Report How marketers are using AI in travel and beyond AI's impact on market performance What's driving brands to invest in AI How much budget they're allocating to AI tools and technologies How to measure success Closing the Gap Between Theory and Practice This report explores the contrast between what travel marketers observe in their organizations — i.e., hesitancy to adopt due to cost and logistical concerns — and the potential value they see in improving the customer experience by moving forward with sophisticated AI strategies. The road to productive use of AI is a marathon, not a sprint, and there are widely varying degrees of usefulness and utility depending on the company and its goals. However, all travel marketers need to get off the starting blocks and benchmark against their competitors if they expect to stay in the race.

Rare Earth Curb To Affect Smartphone Makers, Price Hike Likely: Experts
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. As new restrictions on rare earth magnets imposed by China are starting to choke India's auto sector – heavily dependent on the import of the magnets – another sector which can be affected in the near future is smart phones. Smartphone makers might try to absorb the hit for a while, but if disruptions continue, it can lead to price hikes or even delays in new launches. In smartphones, magnets made from Neodymium and Dysprosium are used in speakers and microphones, haptic motors, and camera modules for OIS, etc. China holds almost a monopoly in processing rare earth elements. These rare earth metals are specially used to make powerful small size magnets that are found in almost every smartphone's components like in speakers, vibration units and display systems. As China tightens exports citing national security reasons, it has effects across the world. The problem: Price hike, delay in new launches "For India, this could lead to delays in getting key components or paying more to source them. Right now the bigger impact is being felt by sectors like electric vehicles but smartphones may also face similar issues in the coming time," said Munish Vaid, vice president, Primus Partners. Most Indian smartphone manufacturers depend on global supply chains which trace back to China. Therefore, even if India is not directly buying the raw material, any disruption at the source will affect the country. "While some of the final assembly for these components happens in India, rare earth magnet assembly for OIS, haptics, etc., is done outside India. While the auto sector might face the immediate effect of shortages and supply chain disruptions. Smartphones, although using less volume per unit of these magnets, given the sheer volume of smartphones produced, could see fewer advanced features, supply chain disruptions, or increased costs if the issue persists," said Parv Sharma, Senior Analyst, Counterpoint Research. China's curbs on rare earth exports threaten not only India but also global supply chains. With China controlling about 60 percent of global rare earth mining and over 90 percent of processing capacity, countries are likely to face bottlenecks, despite efforts on localizing production. If the situation drags on, the costs of smartphones are likely to go up. "Smartphone makers usually plan ahead and have stock for a few months, but rare earth magnets are used in components like speakers and motors that are hard to replace on short notice. If Chinese exports slow down or prices rise, that added cost will eventually add up in the final product. It may not be huge at first, but for low-end smartphones, where margins are thin, these can either reduce margins for companies or consumers will have to bear the burden of price rise," explained Vaid. How can India seek immediate relief Indian OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers are likely to accelerate efforts to diversify rare earth sourcing from regions such as Australia, Africa, and Myanmar. In the short run, India should look at building reserves and sourcing from other friendly countries such as Vietnam, Malaysia, Russia or Brazil. These countries have rare earth deposits and are eager to reduce global dependence on China. India already has some rare earth reserves of its own. "We need to ramp up local processing and manufacturing capabilities. The government's production-linked incentive (PLI) schemes could be expanded to support this space. Also, we should invest in recycling, old smartphones and electronics contain magnets that can be reused if we set up the right infrastructure. At the same time, our manufacturers and tech companies need to innovate," Vaid added. "We expect a stronger push to develop domestic refining capabilities. The government may also ramp up exploration and extraction of rare earth reserves in Andhra Pradesh and Odisha to strengthen long-term self-reliance in critical materials," said Soumen Mandal, senior analyst, Counterpoint Research. According to IDC, in the first quarter of 2025, India's smartphone shipments reached 32 million units. The number of phones made in India every year is big, hence, even a small increase in component prices can add up quickly. "With newer smartphones packing in more features, like better sound, stronger vibrations and advanced displays, the reliance on rare earths is increasing. The impact may not be as huge as in cars, but it is something that could affect both pricing and innovation down the line," Vaid explained. There will be challenges in the near term to increase value addition in India — in the longer-run India will have to look for alternative sources — increase local production and recycle to de-risk from the global supply chain.

The Smartest Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks to Buy Now as the AI Market Soars
The artificial intelligence industry is experiencing rapid growth, with hundreds of billions of dollars at stake. Nvidia and Amazon have reported stellar earnings, driven by demand for data centers and cloud computing. While various AI players abound, sometimes the most obvious investments are the best ones. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Just when some were thinking the artificial intelligence (AI) trade was dead, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and other big tech stocks knocked their earnings reports out of the park. The fact is that investment in AI technology, data centers, and other infrastructure is booming with no end in sight. Just last week, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) announced plans to invest another $10 billion in new data centers in North Carolina. Big Tech companies are expected to spend $325 billion this year, a significant increase over the $223 billion invested in 2024. Far from being over, investment in AI is just getting started. As you can see below, the AI market is poised to experience significant growth through the end of the decade, and likely well beyond. Here are two companies every tech investor should have on their radar. Nvidia's graphics processing units (GPUs) are critical infrastructure for data centers, and the big tech companies are battling to acquire as many as possible. For example, Elon Musk's xAI supercomputer initially started with 100,000 units, doubled this number to 200,000, and rumors suggest it plans to grow to 1,000,000 units in the future. Projects like the one mentioned above for Amazon also require untold thousands of GPUs, and there are many of these projects in progress across the U.S. and the world. The incredible demand is not slacking and is the reason that Nvidia's results continue to dazzle. Nvidia's data center revenue grew 73% year over year in the recently announced fiscal first quarter of 2026, reaching $39 billion, while total sales increased to $44 billion, representing 69% growth. As shown below, Nvidia's revenue and cash flow growth over the last few years is nothing short of incredible. There is no indication that the growth won't continue in earnest. Nvidia expects $45 billion in sales for Q2 of fiscal 2026, representing a 50% year-over-year increase. The percentages decrease due to the laws of larger numbers; however, Nvidia will add $15 billion in total sales from Q2 of fiscal 2025 to Q2 of fiscal 2026 by achieving its target. Nvidia stock currently trades with a price-to-earnings ratio of 46, well below its three-year average of 80. This drops to just 34 on a forward basis. While the exponential gains of the last few years may be over, Nvidia stock will still likely outpace the market, given the high demand for its products and its superior growth rate. Pop quiz, investors. What is the biggest challenge that AI faces? If you said managing, processing, and securing data, you are correct! In fact, as shown below, all of the largest challenges center around data in one form or another. This means that cloud providers, like Amazon Web Services (AWS), the largest cloud services provider on Earth, have massive growth runways as AI adopters seek data services. AWS is the straw that stirs Amazon's drink, as it accounts for the majority of its profits. In Q1, AWS provided 63% of Amazon's $18.4 billion in operating profits. Sales reached $29 billion, driven by robust 17% year-over-year growth, and the operating margin was impressive at 39%, demonstrating that AWS has excellent pricing power. Amazon's other revenue streams also posted strong results. Digital advertising stood out with 19% year-over-year growth to $14 billion in Q1 sales. Overall, Amazon achieved 9% total sales growth, with total revenue reaching $156 billion. Net income increased to $17 billion from $10 billion in the same period last year. The results are simply too good to be ignored. Amazon stock is historically undervalued, despite its stock price being on a general upward trajectory, as shown below. AWS will thrive in the age of artificial intelligence, and so will Amazon. This appears to be an excellent opportunity for investors to purchase shares that are at least fairly valued, and possibly undervalued. The AI industry is growing rapidly, and these industry titans will continue to benefit tremendously. Economic policy, such as tariffs, remains a wild card that investors should keep an eye on; however, the economy is proving quite resilient, and companies like Nvidia and Amazon are excellent long-term investments that will appreciate long after the tariff drama has run its course.
