Adobe Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: ADBE) was supposed to release earnings after the close of trading on Tuesday. It looks like Adobe’s earnings report has come out early, with results of $0.30 in earnings per share (EPS) on revenue of $1 billion for the quarter. Thomson Reuters has the consensus estimates at $0.25 in earnings per share and $973.1 million in revenue. Keep in mind that the numbers a year ago were $0.35 in earnings per share a year ago and the revenue in the same quarter a year ago was $1.007 billion.
A figure thrown out by CNBC was that Adobe now has 1.84 million subscribers on its Creative Cloud subscription service.
Adobe shares were still up 0.8% at $68.68 with about 7 minutes until the closing bell. Stay tuned.
