Adobe just turned in a Q3 FY2026 earnings report that made Wall Street’s estimates look timid. The company posted $6.76 billion in revenue, a 13% jump year-over-year, alongside non-GAAP diluted earnings per share of $6.13. Both figures landed above analyst expectations, and Adobe responded by raising guidance for the rest of the year.

The results, reported on September 10, paint a picture of a software incumbent that has figured out how to translate its AI investments into actual revenue growth.
