Adobe (NasdaqGS:ADBE) Expands Creative Cloud With Monotype Partnership For Global Font Access

Yahoo14-04-2025

Adobe has extended its partnership with Monotype Imaging Inc., enhancing Adobe Creative Cloud with over 2,800 high-quality fonts, likely boosting user satisfaction and brand consistency. Despite this positive development, Adobe's stock fell 11.27% over the past week, a move that mirrors the broader market downturn amid rising U.S.-China trade tensions and sweeping tariffs announced by the Trump administration. While the integration of new AI tools in Adobe's Premiere Pro and After Effects demonstrates commitment to innovation, such enhancements were not enough to counter the prevailing market uncertainty affecting technology stocks, including Adobe's share performance.

The recent extension of Adobe's partnership with Monotype Imaging Inc., enhancing its Creative Cloud with over 2,800 high-quality fonts, could positively influence user satisfaction and brand consistency, potentially improving customer retention and expansion. However, Adobe's stock's recent weekly decline of 11.27% reflects broader market weaknesses amid U.S.-China trade tensions, rather than issues specific to the company. Over a five-year period, Adobe's total shareholder return, including both stock price and dividends, was a 0.22% decline, suggesting longer-term performance challenges despite robust short-term product innovations.
In the last year, Adobe underperformed the US Software industry, which experienced a 10.5% decline. This broader underperformance highlights the challenging competitive landscape Adobe faces, even as it continues to innovate with integrations like AI-powered tools in Premiere Pro and After Effects. Looking forward, the integration of AI and diversified offerings could bolster revenue and earnings forecasts, but execution risks remain. With the current share price at US$340, below the consensus analyst price target of US$517, market sentiment suggests room for potential upward movement, especially if revenue and earnings meet or exceed expectations. However, investors should consider individual tolerance for risk in relation to these price movements.

Businesses to lawmakers: Don't mess with Energy Star

Business groups are urging Congress to resist Trump administration efforts to privatize Energy Star, the efficiency program for home appliances and building materials. 'Clear legislative authorization backs ENERGY STAR as a voluntary public-private partnership run by the federal government,' more than 30 trade groups said Wednesday in a letter to lawmakers. 'We respectfully request that ENERGY STAR not be supplanted by non-governmental efforts that could significantly alter and overly complicate the program.' Led by the Real Estate Roundtable, the letter was signed by the National Association of Manufacturers; American Chemistry Council; Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers; Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute; and other groups. Advertisement The letter went to Senate Energy and Natural Resources Chair Mike Lee (R-Utah) and ranking member Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Senate Environment and Public Works Chair Shelley Moore Capito ( and ranking member Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), and House Energy and Commerce Chair Brett Guthrie (R-Ky) and ranking member Frank Pallone (D-N.J.)

Hill Republicans applaud climate rule rollback

Republican lawmakers welcomed the Trump administration's Wednesday proposal to roll back limits on power plant emissions. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin unveiled a plan to wipe out power plant pollution limits and carbon storage requirements that were instituted under former President Joe Biden. The proposal would leave the power sector without a federal mandate to address fossil fuel emissions. Republicans on Capitol Hill were quick to welcome EPA's actions. They downplayed potential climate impacts, instead pointing to the need to bolster fuel production to power artificial intelligence and lower energy prices. Advertisement 'These regulations promulgated during the Biden-Harris administration threaten American businesses and workers without making a meaningful difference toward addressing pollution,' said Rep. Brett Guthrie (R-Ky.), chair of the House's Energy and Commerce Committee, at EPA's Wednesday rollout event.

Here are the three reasons why tariffs have yet to drive inflation higher

Despite widespread fears to the contrary, President Donald Trump's tariffs have yet to show up in any of the traditional data points measuring inflation. In fact, separate readings this week on consumer and producer prices were downright benign, as indexes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that prices rose just 0.1% in May. The inflation scare is over, then, right? To the contrary, the months ahead are still expected to show price increases driven by Trump's desire to ensure the U.S. gets a fair shake with its global trading partners. So far, though, the duties have not driven prices higher, save for a few areas that are particularly sensitive to higher import costs. At least three factors have conspired so far to keep inflation in check: companies hoarding imported goods ahead of the April 2 tariff announcement, the time it takes for the charges to make their way into the real economy, and the lack of pricing power companies face as consumers tighten belts. "We believe the limited impact from tariffs in May is a reflection of pre-tariff stockpiling, as well as a lagged pass-through of tariffs into import prices," Aichi Amemiya, senior economist at Nomura, said in a note. "We maintain our view that the impact of tariffs will likely materialize in the coming months." This week's data showed isolated evidence of tariff pressures. Canned fruits and vegetables, which are often imported, saw prices rise 1.9% for the month. Roasted coffee was up 1.2% and tobacco increased 0.8%. Durable goods, or long-lasting items such as major appliances (up 4.3%) and computers and related items (1.1%), also saw increases. "This gain in appliance prices mirrors what happened during the 2018-20 round of import taxes, when the cost of imported washing machines surged," Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM, said in his daily market note. One of the biggest tests, though, on whether the price increases will prove durable, as many economists fear, or as temporary, the prism through which they're typically viewed, could largely depend on consumers, who drive nearly 70% of all economic activity. The Federal Reserve's periodic report on economic activity issued earlier this month indicated a likelihood of price increases ahead, while noting that some companies were hesitant to pass through higher costs. "We have been of the position for a long time that tariffs would not be inflationary and they were more likely to cause economic weakness and ultimately deflation," said Luke Tilley, chief economist at Wilmington Trust. "There's a lot of consumer weakness." Indeed, that's largely what happened during the damaging Smoot-Hawley tariffs in 1930, which many economists believe helped trigger the Great Depression. Tilley said he sees signs that consumers already are cutting back on vacations and recreation, a possible indication that companies may not have as much pricing power as they did when inflation started to surge in 2021. Fed officials, though, remain on the sidelines as they wait over the summer to see how tariffs do impact prices. Markets largely expect the Fed to wait until September to resume lowering interest rates, even though inflation is waning and the employment picture is showing signs of cracks. "This time around, if inflation proves to be transitory, then the Federal Reserve may cut its policy rate later this year," Brusuelas said. "But if consumers push their own inflation expectations higher because of short-term dislocations in the price of food at home or other goods, then it's going to be some time before the Fed cuts rates."
