Definitely a great stock with their multiple computing clouds
I would love for Adobe to be added, definitely a great business!
They have a big moat, with all of their products being the best/most popular in their fields. Introducing a subscription service definitely helped boost their revenues too and most made more consistent/predictable.

Hi all,
Has anyone else got a issue with this?
I bought some fractional shares at $440 and now they are worth $445 and its showing a loss. Any ideas?
Is the $440/$445 number you’re talking about your average price?
I might be wrong but it would well be down to a change in FX rate.
Im not sure, i bought shares at $440.20, now the share is worth $445.67 but it shows a £0.08 loss.
No worries now, it seems to have updated
Adobe’s down 17% at the time of writing on news of a $20bn deal to buy Figma, a collaborative cloud-based design tool. I’ve been waiting for an opportunity to open a position in ADBE and this may be it.
While it’s pricey, Figma has been eating Adobe’s lunch so I think this takeover’s a shrewd move.

Surely this is going to trigger some antitrust scrutiny? I’m surprised by how much the share price plunged today, their earnings weren’t terrible, so it’s mostly a reaction to the acquisition.

You would think so. I read somewhere that it’ll cost ADBE a £1bn termination fee if the deal’s blocked. 
17% drop = buy more Adobe

Thanks, I generally try to avoid YouTube but this was a worthwhile video. I have a similar take on this deal but I do worry that it may be aborted like Visa’s planned merger with Plaid.
There’s an interesting discussion here from Figma users’ viewpoints:

Going to nibble away at it to get my average down
