Adobe ( $ADBE+WL -2.39% ) trades at $264.02 as of this writing, about 29% below its 52-week high of $370.86. After that slide, the stock costs about 15 times the earnings it reported over the past year. It costs about 11 times the non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings management expects for the current fiscal year, and roughly 10 times what analysts project for the year after that. Multiples like these are what the market typically assigns to businesses whose profits have stopped growing, or are about to. Adobe grew revenue 13% last quarter, to a record.
