NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 7:22 PM ET — After-hours
- Adobe shares eased 0.2% in after-hours trading, extending a muted session.
- With no fresh company headlines, the stock moved with holiday-thin, tech-led repositioning.
- Traders are watching year-end economic data and Adobe’s next earnings date in March.
Adobe Inc. shares dipped in after-hours trading on Tuesday, down 0.2% at $352.51, after moving between $350.10 and $355.24 during the session.
The move matters now because U.S. trading is entering the final, thinly traded stretch of the year, when small shifts in positioning can push single stocks around more than usual.
It also comes as investors have been rotating within megacap and software names after a strong run into year-end, with some money shifting away from crowded technology trades.
On Wall Street, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq finished slightly lower in choppy, holiday-thinned trade, with technology shares lagging. “It’s just a healthy rebalancing of allocations,” said Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at Nationwide.

Adobe did not announce major company-specific developments in the past two days, leaving the stock to track broader risk appetite and flows into and out of the software sector.
Investors have been digesting Adobe’s latest outlook since its quarterly report earlier this month, when the Photoshop maker forecast fiscal 2026 revenue above Wall Street estimates and said it would change some reporting to emphasize subscription revenue and annual recurring revenue.

Those metrics matter because they are used to gauge how predictable Adobe’s sales are, especially as it tries to monetize newer generative AI features inside Creative Cloud and Document Cloud.
Before the next session, traders will watch U.S. economic releases that can sway rate expectations and tech valuations, including weekly jobless claims and the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller home price index scheduled for Wednesday.

U.S. stocks are set to trade regular hours on New Year’s Eve, while markets are closed on New Year’s Day, a calendar that can further compress liquidity into fewer hours. (https://www.investopedia.com/is-the-stock-market-open-for-new-year-s-here-s-the-holiday-trading-schedule-11866762)
For Adobe specifically, the next major scheduled catalyst is its fiscal first-quarter earnings call on March 12, 2026, according to the company’s investor relations calendar. 1
Until then, investors are likely to focus on signs of faster AI-driven revenue, the pace of subscription growth, and whether the stock holds the $350 area, near Tuesday’s session low, as the year wraps up.
