The company’s press release did not offer third-quarter or fiscal year guidance, but the company plans to discuss financial targets on its conference call. The consensus estimates for the third quarter call for EPS of $0.35 on revenues of $1.01 billion. For the full-year, analysts are looking for EPS of $1.44 on revenues of $4.11 billion.
First quarter EPS totaled $0.31, second quarter totaled $0.36, and next quarter is forcast at $0.31. Revenues are pretty flat as well. Subscriptions to the firm’s cloud-based programs could be flattening, but we’ll have to wait until the conference call to find out.
Adobe launched its Creative Cloud platform last year and that continues to be a focus going forward. The company’s CEO said:
