Adobe slips even as it boosts full-year earnings outlook after strong Q2 results (ADBE:NASDAQ)

Adobe stock fell Friday morning despite beating earnings estimates and raising its full-year outlook. The company reported strong demand for AI products and reached a milestone of 1 billion monthly active users. However, investors reacted negatively to a soft fourth-quarter guide and a simultaneous transition of both the CEO and CFO. These leadership changes and outlook concerns weigh on a stock that has already declined 30% this year.
