Adobe raised its fiscal 2026 earnings outlook after reporting a third-quarter revenue and earnings beat. The company maintained its full-year ARR growth guidance despite a fourth-quarter revenue outlook that was slightly below analyst consensus. The softer Q4 sales forecast renewed concerns about competitive pressure from generative-AI alternatives and the pace of AI monetization. Analysts indicated that Adobe may need nearly double Q3 net new ARR in Q4 to support the fiscal 2027 outlook.
