Adobe stock (ADBE) rises despite Jefferies downgrade as AI payoff comes under fresh scrutiny

New York, Jan 6, 2026, 14:25 EST — Regular session Adobe Inc shares rose in afternoon trading on Tuesday, even after Jefferies cut its rating a day earlier, keeping the market’s focus on how fast the software maker can turn generative AI into paid growth. The stock was up 0.8% at $334.19 after swinging between $329.20 and $336.30.

NEW YORK, Jan 6, 2026, 11:21 (EST) Uber Technologies (UBER) shares slid on Monday after Melius Research downgraded the ride-hailing company to “sell” and set a $73 price target, as investors weighed rising robotaxi competition.
