Adobe Raises Full-Year Forecast Amid Strong Demand for AI-Powered Tools
Adobe has raised its full-year forecast on the back of strong demand for its AI-powered creative tools, such as Photoshop and Premiere Pro. Despite a challenging first quarter, where macroeconomic factors caused delays, the company has seen a recovery in the second quarter. Adobe now expects revenue between $23.50 billion and $23.60 billion for fiscal 2025, up from its previous forecast of $23.30 billion to $23.55 billion.
AI-Driven Innovation Powers Growth
Adobe's finance chief, Dan Durn, highlighted the company's continued investment in AI innovation, which is proving instrumental in driving value for its customer base. In 2023, Adobe launched Firefly, an AI tool that enables users to generate, edit, and enhance images and videos using text prompts. This innovation, which includes ethically sourced training data, has positioned Adobe as a leader in AI-driven creative tools, ensuring brand safety and copyright compliance. The integration of OpenAI and Google’s image-generation models into Firefly further strengthens Adobe’s AI offering.
