Base and Bull scenarios

Bull20%

Price target

$505.04

+106.0% from spot

Enterprise adoption of Firefly and agentic content generation accelerates, driving Creative Cloud ARR and freemium conversion well beyond base projections. Monetization of GenStudio and AI credit consumption expands non-GAAP operating margins while cross-selling between Digital Media and Digital Experience accelerates enterprise net retention. Sustained aggressive share repurchases steadily reduce diluted share count annually.

Revenue growth expands at 14-16% annually driven by rapid freemium conversion and enterprise AI credit monetization
Non-GAAP operating margins expand toward 46-48% as software operating leverage outpaces inference compute costs
Annual share repurchases exceed $10B, retiring 2.5% of outstanding shares annually,
Terminal valuation multiple re-rates toward historical software compounder levels on forward earnings
