Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) may be the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA/news">undeniable epicenter of the AI Revolution</a>, but the aftershocks of its chip-powered boom are being felt far beyond semiconductors. 
According to Wedbush analyst Dan Ives, &#8220;for every $1 spent on Nvidia, there is an $8-$10 multiplier across the rest of the tech ecosystem.&#8221; Looking at the value chain, this ripple effect is now seemingly reaching software giants like Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>), Salesforce Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) and ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>).

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">From Silicon To Software: The AI Domino Effect</h2>
Nvidia has surged nearly 16% over the past year, though the stock has cooled with a 24.7% drop in the past month. Still, the foundational role its chips play in AI infrastructure—especially for hyperscalers like Amazon.com Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) AWS and Alphabet Inc's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) GCP—is creating second-order beneficiaries.
Companies like Adobe, Salesforce and ServiceNow sit squarely in the next wave of value creation, as enterprise clients now shift focus from AI infrastructure buildouts to actual deployment across vertical-specific use cases.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Adobe, with its suite of creative and document tools, has jumped 8.6% over the past month after lagging most of the year. </li>
<li>Salesforce remains down 20.4% YTD, but its AI-powered CRM offerings are increasingly viewed as critical in enterprise automation. </li>
<li>ServiceNow, meanwhile, is up over 3.5% this month and nearly 44% over the past year, as its AI-infused workflow solutions continue gaining traction.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Enterprise Adoption Accelerates In 2025</h2>
Wedbush believes 2025 marks the true inflection point in enterprise AI adoption. Ives notes that "high priority AI use cases have been identified and now being driven/accelerated across a myriad of verticals," positioning software vendors to capitalize as companies move from experimentation to scale.
While Nvidia may be the "Godfather of AI," the broader investment case now hinges on identifying which software players will ride this $2 trillion AI spending wave. For investors, that may mean looking beyond the chip king to the quiet beneficiaries—those turning silicon into scaled solutions.

How Nvidia's $10 Ripple Effect Could Lift Adobe, Salesforce, ServiceNow

Chief Executive Officer pay soared to new heights in 2024, with compensation packages for the top executives at America's largest companies <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45740017/tsmc-ceo-tells-trump-100-billion-us-chip-expansion-will-take-time-amid-tariff-pressures-surging-ai-demand">reaching record levels.&nbsp;</a>
The median compensation for the highest-paid 100 CEOs in 2024, according to data from <a href="https://www.equilar.com/reports/116-highest-paid-ceos-2025-equilar-100.html">Equilar</a>, reached $25.6 million, reflecting a 9.5% increase over the previous year.
A significant driver of this increase was the median value of stock awards, which jumped 40.5% year over year — from $13.2 million in 2023 to $18.6 million in 2024. In 2024, stock awards represented about 73% of the median total compensation for Equilar&#8217;s top 100 CEOs.

Here Are The Highest Paid CEOs In 2024: Where Did Elon Musk, Warren Buffett Rank?

BofA Securities analyst Brad Sills disclosed its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/software" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">software spending survey</a> on Tuesday.
Since his last survey in December, Sills&#8217; IT professionals&#8217; survey suggested that software spending growth intentions have come down a bit for the second half of 2025 and 2026. Software spending is expected to grow +9.9% for 2025, down 100 basis points from his December survey, and +10.8% for 2026, down 40 basis points. He said this aligns with management and channel commentary that changing macro policies are muddling the demand environment.
However, Sills&#8217; survey still suggests an improving backdrop in 2026, which is backed by channel feedback that pipelines for new software projects remain healthy.
The analyst noted that Data Analytics regained the top spot as a spending priority, trading places with Cloud Communications and Videoconferencing, which slipped to second place. Security held the third position, he said. Sills said other categories with notably higher spending expectations include observability and financials/ERP.
Sills noted that the lower-scoring categories were front-office applications such as CRM Sales, Marketing, and Support. He suggested that this could be due to firms evaluating AI priorities for front-office application projects.
For Analytics, Security, and Public Cloud, Sills noted the positive data supports his thesis for Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Snowflake Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SNOW#NYSE">SNOW</a>), and Datadog Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DDOG#NASDAQ">DDOG</a>), which are well positioned in these categories.
The analyst said Infrastructure and Back Office were the top software categories for AI investment (across Infrastructure, Back Office, Front Office, and Desktop Applications).
Back Office saw the largest increase since his year-end fiscal 2024 survey, he said. After LLMs, Workday Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDAY#NASDAQ">WDAY</a>) was the most selected, Sills noted.
The analyst noted that after LLMs, Salesforce Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) registered the highest number of front-office vendors in which respondents plan to invest in AI offerings.
Front office apps scored lower for the second consecutive survey, Sills noted.
The lower result reflects that firms remain in the discovery phase, as pricing models for agentic offerings such as Salesforce&#8217;s Agentforce and HubSpot Inc&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUBS#NYSE">HUBS</a>) Breeze AI agents are evolving, per the analyst.
Sills noted that Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) AWS, Microsoft, and Alphabet Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google were the most frequently selected vendors for AI in infrastructure.
The analyst said Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) remains the market leader in AI investments in desktop applications.
Hiring expectations are down for 2025, again, Sills noted, and recession expectations are fairly high. DOGE is impacting spending plans more so than tariffs, leading to a lower weighted average spending as per the survey.

Nearly a third of consumers prefer brands to send post-purchase follow-up messages via social media, <a href="https://www.emarketer.com/content/social-messaging-marketing-2025">according to eMarketer</a>. As US retail social commerce sales jumped 26% in 2024, one company has positioned itself at the center of the convergence between social messaging, AI automation, and commerce.
Having just closed its $140 million Series B funding round, Manychat is tuning into a market that&#8217;s reshaping how brands engage with customers. With 82% of organizations <a href="https://www.the-future-of-commerce.com/2025/01/09/b2b-sales-2025/">planning</a> to integrate AI agents within three years and 60% of Gen Z interested in AI-assisted shopping, the timing works well for a platform that processes billions of automated interactions across social media platforms.
The shift toward conversational commerce is becoming fundamental to how younger consumers expect to interact with brands. As Instagram&#8217;s CEO Adam Mosseri stated, &#8220;send rates&#8221; – how often content is shared via DMs – are now more important than likes, comments, or watch time for expanding organic reach. This algorithmic shift makes DM automation tools increasingly valuable, especially as 86% of US marketers are using influencer marketing in 2025. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Psychological Roots of an AI Visionary</h2>
Before starting a company that now processes billions of automated interactions, Manychat founder Mike Yan studied psychology. Yan was fascinated by human relationships and that background turned out to be prescient when using AI to have conversations in his business. In 2015 Yan automated Telegram chats, which led way to the idea that later became Manychat — a chatbot platform that enables creators and businesses to automate conversations over social and messaging apps.
The company took off when Facebook Messager opened its APIs in 2016, providing access to a billion users. At the time, Yan and his co-founder were focused on messenger marketing at an enormous scale, well-positioned as the wave of conversational commerce began reshaping nearly all of retail.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Evolution Toward Agentic AI</h2>
The company serves clients ranging from Nike and the NBA to The New York Times, plus over a million smaller businesses across 170 countries. But Yan&#8217;s bold vision extends beyond current capabilities toward what he calls &#8220;agentic AI.&#8221;
&#8220;We believe there is a lot of opportunity for app layer players like Manychat, who may not work on their foundational models but have a deep understanding and insight into specific customer segments and use cases,&#8221; Yan says. &#8220;They can productize the existing foundational models and create an end-to-end user experience that elevates the value of these models.&#8221;
This approach reflects the AI landscape&#8217;s evolution from narrow applications through generative AI and reasoning models to autonomous, multi-step task completion. Manychat AI, launched last year, aims to enhance social platform interactions by providing more personalized, interactive chat experiences that drive both conversions and customer satisfaction.
&#8220;Our goal with Manychat is to build an agent for social interactions that assists creators and businesses in building great relationships at scale without losing authenticity,&#8221; Yan notes. &#8220;Balancing automation with manual contact and the human touch is a complex challenge, both technically and from an experience standpoint. While there is much work to be done, the opportunity is tremendous.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Competitive Landscape And Market Position</h2>
There are a number of public companies operating in marketing automation spaces. Salesforce (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) offers Service Cloud with AI-powered chatbots; HubSpot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUBS#NYSE">HUBS</a>) has marketing automation that includes some social messaging features; Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) includes conversational AI as part of Azure and Dynamics 365; Adobe (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) offers marketing automation capabilities as part of Experience Cloud.
But none focus on automating social media DMs specifically at the scale and specialization opportunities that Manychat has developed. This positioning will become more valuable as markets for automation continue to mature, especially as specialization increases competitive advantage.&nbsp;
Manychat&#8217;s community-building emphasizes this. The yearly Instagram Summit that sold more than 15,000 tickets with speakers such as Trevor Noah and executives at Meta illustrates the company&#8217;s role in shaping the industry&#8217;s dialogue around social commerce.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Road Ahead</h2>
While Yan is not disclosing any specific IPO plans, the company&#8217;s conservative financial approach indicates that they are focused on sustainable, profitable growth over rapid expansion. The market conditions favor this approach: 74% of companies are already experiencing ROI in at least one generative AI use case, and about half of B2B marketers <a href="https://contentmarketinginstitute.com/b2b-research/b2b-content-marketing-trends-research">believe</a> the use of AI reduces routine tasks and increases overall workflow efficiency.
The challenge ahead is what Yan calls maintaining authenticity while being able to automate at scale — a significant technical and experiential problem that will require more nuanced solutions. As enterprise AI investments grow and social commerce continues to experience explosive growth, Manychat&#8217;s success at solving this challenge may define whether brand-consumer connections of the future will be set through intelligent automation, human authenticity, or a combination of the two.
For investors tracking the trifecta of AI, social media, and commerce, Manychat offers a compelling case study in how niche AI applications can create value in rapidly evolving markets, driven by Yan&#8217;s powerful vision. With data pointing to continued acceleration in social messaging, AI adoption, and conversational commerce, the $140 million funding round positions Manychat to harness several high-growth trends at once.

How A $140M Funding Round Positions Manychat For The Future Of Conversational Commerce

Summer is almost here, and investors are hunting for fresh opportunities after the S&amp;P 500 logged its strongest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/05/45704748/magnificent-seven-drive-wall-streets-rally-nvidia-notches-best-month-in-a-year-this-week-in-markets">month since November 2023. </a>
According to Seasonax data, looking at 97 years of history, the S&amp;P 500 averages a 0.7% gain in June. In recent times, performance has been even better: over the past six years, the index has ended June higher five times, with an average return of 2.1%.
Thus, June has historically brought more gains than pain, and certain S&amp;P 500 stocks have a consistent track record of outperforming in this early-summer stretch.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Top 10 June Stocks Based On 10-Year Seasonal Performance</h3>
An analysis of S&amp;P 500 components between June 2 and July 2 over the past 10 years reveals clear outperformers. Here are the top 10 stocks ranked by average return during this 30-day window. 
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is by far the top June performer, with an average return of 14.5%, beating the S&amp;P 500 by a wide margin. It closed positively in 8 out of the last 10 Junes, with the best return — a 37.1% rally — coming in 2023.
Eli Lilly &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) has been the most consistent performer on this list, with 9 wins in 10 years. Its June gains have averaged 6.2% over the past decade, with a peak return of 17.5% in 2021 and a minimal drawdown of -2.2% in 2019.
Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) also ranks high with a 5.6% average return. Notably, in the last two Junes, the tech company rose by 17% and 24.9% respectively.

Looking For Summer Seasonal Gains? Here Are 10 S&P 500 Stocks That Historically Rallied In June

Adobe's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NYSE">ADBE</a>) short percent of float has risen 3.62% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 9.76 million shares sold short, which is 2.29% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.76 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Adobe has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Adobe's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Adobe's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.09%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Looking Into Adobe's Recent Short Interest

I've spent my 30-plus-year career discovering some of the most obscure and lucrative patterns in the world.
Now, you might've heard the term before—or even tried trading patterns yourself.
But almost every trader I meet seems a bit confused about what pattern trading really is.
It's probably a whole different ball game than what you're used to. And a whole lot more profitable.
So today, I want to tell you a little bit more about what I do. Here's what pattern trading is and my favorite pattern trade this summer.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What I Mean When I Say "Pattern Trading"</h2>
When most folks hear that I'm a pattern trader, they usually think of chart patterns – the ones with goofy names that remind you of real-world objects.
Like the "cup and handle," which usually signals a continuation of a bullish uptrend.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="484" height="276" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30150939/image-422.png" alt="" class="wp-image-933725" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30150939/image-422.png 484w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30150939/image-422-300x171.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 484px) 100vw, 484px" /></figure>
Or the "head and shoulders." Three sharp peaks, with the middle peak usually higher than the preceding and subsequent peaks. This pattern can signal a bearish downtrend. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="654" height="366" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30151514/image-423.png" alt="" class="wp-image-933730" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30151514/image-423.png 654w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30151514/image-423-300x168.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 654px) 100vw, 654px" /></figure>
Or the "flag." Shaped like a sloping rectangle, a flag can signal a reversal of the current trend when and if the stock breaks out in the opposite direction of the trendlines.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="534" height="516" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30151620/image-424.png" alt="" class="wp-image-933731" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30151620/image-424.png 534w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30151620/image-424-300x290.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px" /></figure>
Now, I don't mean to sound dismissive; these kinds of patterns aren't useless. They can help you predict how a given stock may behave at a given point in time. Emphasis on the word "help."
Like any indicator, you can't just trade these patterns whenever you see them. They function best as an additional tool to confirm a potentially profitable setup.
But here's the thing…I'm a pattern trader because I believe it gives me an edge in the markets.
These kinds of chart patterns are observed by millions of traders around the world every single day. You don't need a Bloomberg terminal or expensive charting software to see them.
Anyone can go to Yahoo Finance, pull up a stock chart, spot an "ascending triangle" or a "rounding bottom," and make their move.
That's not what I'd call an edge.
So I want to be clear: when I talk about being a pattern trader, I'm talking about trading patterns that no one else can see.
Patterns are in all walks of life. Where and how people sleep, drive, eat, save, spend – and invest – there's a pattern behind it.
And when it comes to trading, I'm not talking about overall seasonal patterns everyone knows about, like Sell in May and Go Away. I'm talking about patterns that occur in the best 370 stocks in the market every day the markets are open.
We don't know WHY these patterns occur. We just know that they do – repeating year after year at a 90% clip – and that they can be incredibly profitable. But to understand the right way to trade them, you need to know which ones to trade.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Five Primary Trading Styles</h2>
There are five primary styles of analysis I use to determine the right security to trade:
<ol start="1" class="wp-block-list">
<li>Seasonal</li>
<li>Trend</li>
<li>Contrarian</li>
<li>Volatility</li>
<li>Statistical</li>
</ol>
The first is the one I want to explore today. Although my method for spotting and scanning this type can be complex, the pattern itself is simple to understand. And it starts with understanding seasonal analysis.
To me, seasonal analysis is the process of researching a security's price patterns to spot consistent, repeatable and predictable behaviors over a period of time. When I say ‘seasonal,' I'm not referring to back-to-school or tax time. I'm also not talking about the holidays or actual seasons, like fall or spring, although there are profitable patterns out there (we'll explore those in the future).
What I'm basically looking for is the best day to buy and sell certain stocks.
To do that, there are three questions that I set out to answer and have used for many years in my trading:
<ol start="1" class="wp-block-list">
<li>Are there specific stocks or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that have repeatable price patterns?</li>
<li>Is there a security that trades in a particular manner every year – regardless of the time of year?</li>
<li>Does the security trade higher or lower over specific date ranges or numbered trading days?</li>
</ol>
To get the best results, I look at the past ten years' worth of data on those securities to see the type of success rates (as a percentage) they've had. I also look at the average price move for each security in which I've spotted a repeatable pattern.
What I've discovered over many years of research is this: There are securities that trade in a consistent price pattern, higher or lower, at various times of the year and multiple times over the year. And, before scans really existed, I took these patterns and charted them on a simple calendar tool – the Money Calendar
The Money Calendar is my proprietary software that I use to find seasonal patterns – these repeatable price moves over specific periods of time. It scans millions of data points to find the stocks and ETFs that have moved higher or lower from the start date (the open price of one date) to the end date (the closing price of a later date).
In the early days, I would manually add stocks to the calendar that I found with the best buy and sell dates. But now, I've got built-in artificial intelligence that constantly scans, adds, and adjusts the best days to buy and sell.
To see the list of qualifying stocks with bullish or bearish patterns, I need only to click on a day. Then, I can see every stock The Money Calendar identified, along with the start and end dates.
Here's an example.
Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>), the software giant considered a leader in Artificial Intelligence, recently popped up on my Money Calendar.
Because for the last 10 years ADBE stock has gone up an average of $49.96 every year over a 58-day time frame, between the end of May and late August:
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="936" height="472" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30151738/image-425.png" alt="" class="wp-image-933735" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30151738/image-425.png 936w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30151738/image-425-300x151.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/30151738/image-425-768x387.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px" /></figure>
This means that ADBE stock has gone up, every single year, between May 27 and August 18, for an entire decade.
Do you think it's going to happen again this year? According to the Money Calendar, it's very likely.&nbsp;
And the best part? My Money Calendar delivers dozens, even hundreds of these patterns every single day.
So, while it's true that you can't predict the stock market itself – you can determine where a stock or exchange-traded fund (ETF) could move tomorrow, next week, next month and beyond like I just showed you with the Money Calendar.
And stay tuned – this isn't the last you'll hear about the Money Calendar.

If You Invested $1000 In This Stock 20 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) shares are up this week, trading higher Friday driven by improving technical signals and a noticeable <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/25/05/45465905/microsoft-adobe-kinsale-capital-and-an-energy-stock-on-cnbcs-final-trades">decline in short interest.</a>
What To Know: The stock just moved above its 50-day moving average. Market participants on CNBC noted the technical breakout, with some analysts suggesting the stock may have more upside despite recent volatility in the chart.
Supporting the move, Adobe&#8217;s short interest has fallen by over 18% since its last report, with short positions now accounting for just 2.21% of its public float. This drop in short bets indicates a shift in market sentiment, as fewer traders are positioning against the stock. Compared to its industry peers, Adobe's short interest is relatively low, its peer group averages 3.05% of float held short, potentially suggesting less bearish positioning overall.
Overall, Adobe's gains this week appear tied to improving market sentiment, a decline in short pressure and renewed attention from technical traders. Investors are watching to see whether the stock can maintain its upward momentum after reclaiming a key technical level.
ADBE Price Action: Adobe shares were up 2.71% at $415.67 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga pro.</a>

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Adobe Stock In The Last 10 Years

Looking into the current session, Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) shares are trading at $403.01, after a 0.89% increase. Moreover, over the past month, the stock increased by 15.54%, but in the past year, decreased by 16.64%. Shareholders might be interested in knowing whether the stock is undervalued, even if the company is performing up to par in the current session.

<h3>Adobe P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Adobe has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 96.96 of the Software industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747324829_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Intraday Update

A Look Into Adobe Inc's Price Over Earnings

Adobe's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NYSE">ADBE</a>) short percent of float has fallen 18.15% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 9.41 million shares sold short, which is 2.21% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.77 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Adobe Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1747245626_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Adobe has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Adobe's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Adobe's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.05%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Why It's Important: Members of Congress are allowed to buy and sell stocks as long as they properly disclose the transaction.
The process has drawn scrutiny from the public and retail investors as members of Congress could have inside information and time their trades accordingly. Committee assignments in particular, often draw red flags from investors.
Greene serves on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability and the House Committee on Homeland Security with several subcommittee appointments. The congresswoman's past trade in technology and cybersecurity stocks has drawn attention with her role within Homeland Security.
Greene&#8217;s past trades of Palantir Technologies and a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44255172/marjorie-taylor-greene-buys-more-bitcoin-etf-shares-ahead-of-trumps-strategic-reserve-executive-order"> Bitcoin ETF </a>have drawn criticism along with the timing of her trades, as she is a close ally to President Donald Trump. 
When asked previously about buying stocks earlier this year that soared days later after Trump announced a pause to tariffs, Greene<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip"> brushed aside the criticism.</a>
&#8220;I think that criticism is laughable. President Trump has been talking about tariffs for decades,&#8221; Greene told reporters when asked about the trades at a recent town hall event in Georgia in a clip <a href="https://x.com/unusual_whales/status/1912456434081480777" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">shared </a>by Unusual Whales. The congresswoman used the opportunity to boast about her stock performance, which ranked her as one of the top trading members of Congress in 2024.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t place my buys and sells," Greene said, citing an agreement she has with her portfolio manager, who handles all the buying and selling of stocks. &#8220;He did a great job. Guess what he did. He bought the dip. And that&#8217;s what anybody that has financial sense does."
Greene also said her portfolio manager did not have inside information, everything was public and a potential tariff pause wasn&#8217;t a secret.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has reintroduced legislation that would ban members of Congress from trading or holding individual stocks.
The bill is known as the Preventing Elected Leaders from Owning Securities and Investments Act, or PELOSI Act based on the first letter of each of the main words. The name takes aim at the congresswoman and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).  
&#8220;Members of Congress should be fighting for the people they were elected to serve — not day trading at the expense of their constituents,&#8221; Hawley&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hawley.senate.gov/hawley-reintroduces-pelosi-act-to-ban-congress-from-trading-stocks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>. &#8220;Americans have seen politician after politician turn a profit using information not available to the general public.&#8221;
Hawley said the bill will help &#8220;restore Americans&#8217; trust in our nation&#8217;s legislative body.&#8221;
Hawley&#8217;s bill is being reintroduced as President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://time.com/7280114/donald-trump-2025-interview-transcript/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said&nbsp;</a>he would support such a ban.
&#8220;Well, I watched Nancy Pelosi get rich through insider information, and I would be okay with it. If they send it to me, I would do it,&#8221; Trump told TIME.
Trump said he would sign the ban if the bill passes Congress.
While Pelosi makes headlines for her trades, it&#8217;s important to remember that<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44852406/marjorie-taylor-greene-brushes-off-stock-buying-criticism-says-portfolio-manager-bought-the-dip" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;it is both Republican</a>&nbsp;and Democratic members of Congress who are profiting from buying and selling stocks and options while in office, with some trades coming with questionable timing or having a connection to committees they serve on.
In 2024, a list of the top-performing traders in Congress included six Republicans and four Democrats.

<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.
