- Adobe have recently changed their dynamics of business to a subscription model. Meaning that ADBE will receive lower upfront fees. Alongside this transition, the switching costs have decreased which makes it easier for the clients to switch to competitors.
- The unlimited license Adobe sells (Creative Suite) is 2x the cost of a yearly cloud based license.
- With the new product, they need to keep subscribers for two years minimum to become more profitable than the original product.
- A large chunk of Adobe's business exposure is in Europe - creating large currency headwinds for the company.
- Despite recent earnings and revenues being solid in March, Adobe remains highly dependent on two products which provide over 50% of the revenue (Creative Cloud & Acrobat).
