CASE DESCRIPTION

On September 15, 2022, Adobe (ABDE) released 2 breaking news, particularly, announced earnings and a $20 bn. deal with online design tools maker Figma.

  • The Company released a mixed Q2 2022 financial report that topped earnings, but sales were below expectations.
  • Despite the weak and uncertain economic environment, Adobe (ABDE) decided to make a high-priced acquisition of online design tools maker Figma for $ 20 bn cash and stock.

On this news, Adobe (ABDE) stock plunged more than 15% and lost over $25 billion of its capitalization, seriously damaging investors.

Moreover, back on September 13, 2022, the price of the Company's shares lost 7% or about $13 billion of capitalization without significant news.

Assessing the need for an expensive purchase of Figma, it is important to note that one of Adobe's flagship products, Adobe XD, could no longer compete with Figma. Even though Adobe XD was released earlier than its competitor and the Company had much more significant resources for product development, the competition was lost. As a result, the only way not to lose market share was to take over the Competitor at a high price.

Taking all the facts, history and the respective market reaction into account, there are reasons to suspect that Adobe's (ABDE) Leaders have made and, maybe, are making faults in management and are trying to compensate for them at the expense of the Company and its shareholders, breaching their fiduciary duties.
