Here is what Weitz Investment specifically said about Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:
“Software stocks continued to slide, but Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE) created its own drama when the company agreed to acquire privately held Figma for an eye-popping $20 billion. Figma’s strategic fit with Adobe’s creative business is quite sound, perhaps exceptional, but the price tag was undeniably high. The deal raised questions about our quality score assessment, particularly around capital allocation, management, and competitive position. We reset growth expectations and lowered our business value estimate, but not nearly as much as the stock price declined. While our diligence is ongoing, we answered enough to add modestly to the position. Our equity research analyst will have an opportunity to keep drilling deeper at the upcoming Adobe MAX user conference and financial investor meeting. If our views change as we learn more, so will our positioning.”
