Strong quarter, ARR guidance raised

Q4 upside and a raised FY18 ARR outlook should be well-received, although there was little overall to change investors' view on the stock. Q4 saw Digital Media revenue and ARR comfortably ahead, with revenue upside falling to the bottom line to deliver a strong EPS beat. Experience Cloud revenue was also ahead with bookings performance in that segment stabilising. Adobe now expects to add $1.1bn in net new Digital Media ARR, $100m above its prior guidance, but even this looks conservative given current momentum. We maintain our Overweight stance.
