Adobe, in its perpetual pursuit of corporate salvation, reported revenues nearing $6 billion-a remarkable feat, one might say, if not for the fact that it represented a mere 1% increase over the same quarter of 2024.

This, of course, was better than the average analyst’s whispered prophecy, which had anticipated a paltry $5.18 per share. But is that truly something to celebrate?
