Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:ADBE) shares fell 6.7% on Friday after the software company cut its organic annual recurring revenue growth guidance, announced a surprise CFO departure, and signaled a shift toward freemium AI products that analysts say leaves key monetization questions unanswered.
The company reported fiscal second-quarter revenue of $6.62 billion, up 12.7% year-over-year and ahead of its guidance range, with non-GAAP earnings per share of $5.96 also beating forecasts.
Power Metallic Mines Inc (TSX-V:PNPN, FRA:IVV1, OTCQB:PNPNF) is approaching an inflection point, according to analysts at Noble Capital Markets, with a strengthened treasury now enabling it to accelerate exploration and development at its flagship Nisk Project in Quebec while also pursuing opportunities in Saudi Arabia.

General Mills Inc (NYSE:GIS, XETRA:GRM) is navigating a difficult stretch, with deteriorating North America Retail volumes, weak category trends, and a series of mechanical profit headwinds clouding the outlook for fiscal 2027, according to a Jefferies analysis.
Nielsen data shows NAR volumes worsened in the fourth fiscal quarter, declining roughly 4% over the last 12 weeks compared to approximately 2% in the prior quarter. Eight of the company's 10 top brands saw sequential volume declines, and only two posted positive dollar sales over the same period. While price realization improved for nine of 10 brands as earlier price investments began to lap, that has not been enough to stabilize the top line.

The cybersecurity firm launched its Agentic Cyber Suite, a set of AI-focused resilience tools built within a single platform that consolidates data and identity management across enterprise ecosystems.
Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META, XETRA:FB2A, SIX:FB) is at a crossroads, pouring capital into artificial intelligence infrastructure while investors wait for signs that the spending will pay off, according to Bank of America analysts.
The report comes after Meta's third-quarter 2025 earnings call, when the company guided to a material step-up in both 2026 operating expenses and capital expenditures. Since then, the stock has dropped roughly 24%, compared to a 5% gain for the NASDAQ, as investors grapple with a more capital-intensive business model, uncertain ROI on AI-related spend, and the anticipated drag from depreciation and amortization on margins.
Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) is broadening its logistics ambitions, adding a less-than-truckload freight service to its Amazon Supply Chain Services platform that allows businesses to ship goods to any third-party warehouse, distribution centre, or retail partner.
The move taps into Amazon's existing transportation infrastructure, including more than 80,000 trailers and 24,000 intermodal containers.
Intel Corp (NASDAQ:INTC, XETRA:INL) scored a double upgrade to Buy from Underperform by Bank of America, which raised its price objective to $135 from $96 on higher confidence in the chipmaker's ability to capitalize on growing opportunities in central processing units and contract manufacturing.
Analysts now project Intel's total calendar year 2030 earnings per share power at more than $6, up from a prior estimate of $3 to $4, driven by expectations that agentic CPU sales could surpass $40 billion and external foundry revenue could exceed $45 billion by 2030.
Oracle Corp (NYSE:ORCL, XETRA:ORC) shares fell around 12% on Thursday after quarterly results drew investor scrutiny over the company's aggressive capital spending plans, even as a record backlog and strong cloud infrastructure growth pointed to durable demand for its AI buildout.
The stock dropped despite beats on revenue and earnings. Total revenue rose 21% year over year to $19.18 billion, edging past the Street's $19.1 billion estimate, while non-GAAP EPS of $2.11 topped consensus of around $1.97. Operating margin of 44.8% also cleared expectations.

CAVA Group (NYSE:CAVA) shares were upgraded to Buy by UBS, which cited the Mediterranean fast-casual chain's same-store sales resilience, unit expansion potential, and an improved risk/reward following a pullback in shares since April.
"CAVA remains a compelling growth story, which is increasingly scarce in the sector in the current environment," UBS analysts wrote, pointing to differentiated menu offerings, multiple sales catalysts, and healthy new unit returns as key supports for a premium valuation.
RBC Capital Markets has upgraded adidas AG (OTCQX:ADDYY) to Outperform, lifting its price target to €210 from €170, whilst claiming the three-striped sportswear group now offers one of the strongest earnings growth profiles in the Canadian bank's coverage, yet its valuation still looks discounted.
The newly pitched price target implies around 28% upside, and RBC points out that Adidas trades on roughly 13 times FY27 earnings, a level that the broker reckons doesn't fully reflect improving execution and revenue visibility.
GSK PLC's (LSE:GSK, NYSE:GSK) $10.6 billion (£8bn) acquisition of US biotech Nuvalent has achieved something unusual in large pharmaceutical M&A: analysts broadly agree it makes sense.
The debate is less about whether the deal is strategically sound and more about how much upside remains after shelling out a chunky amount for two relatively mature assets.
Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL, XETRA:APC) shares were down 4% on Tuesday afternoon after the company's annual developer conference left some investors questioning the pace of its artificial intelligence rollout, even as analysts broadly viewed the event as a step forward.
At its Worldwide Developers Conference, Apple unveiled Siri AI, a rebuilt voice assistant powered by next-generation Apple Intelligence and Apple Foundation Models developed in collaboration with Google. The revamped Siri can reason across a user's device, apps and real-world context, and will receive a dedicated app with conversation history synced privately through iCloud.
SanDisk (NASDAQ:SNDK) has won a higher price target from Bank of America, with the bank lifting its objective to $2,100 from $1,550 on the back of robust NAND demand, favourable pricing trends, and a new wave of long-term supply agreements.
At BofA's 2026 Global Technology Conference in San Francisco, investor focus centred on SanDisk's so-called new business models (NBMs), structured agreements that combine fixed pricing for an initial period with variable pricing over the remainder of the contract.
Oracle Corp (NYSE:ORCL, XETRA:ORC) is approaching its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings with analyst expectations running high, as cloud infrastructure growth looks poised to reaccelerate on the back of AI-driven demand and easing capacity constraints.
Jefferies analysts maintained a Buy rating and $320 price target on the stock ahead of the print, citing what they describe as a strong "Mardi Gras" setup for Oracle's seasonally important Q4. The firm is watching for 90% year-over-year growth in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, a 43% operating margin, and approximately $36 billion in net remaining performance obligation adds as the key benchmarks for the quarter.
Apple Inc (NASDAQ:AAPL, XETRA:APC) kicked off its annual Worldwide Developers Conference with what Wedbush analysts are calling the beginning of a foundational AI consumer platform shift, as the iPhone maker delivered on promises made two years ago with a more robust artificial intelligence strategy anchored by the unveiling of Siri AI.
Wedbush described the event as "impressive" and said it "did not disappoint," with CEO Tim Cook and Apple finally laying out an AI strategy the firm believes will unlock meaningful monetization across the company's 2.5 billion iOS user installed base.
Cerebras Systems Inc (NASDAQ:CBRS) shares climbed about 23% on Monday after at least nine brokerages initiated coverage of the AI chip designer following the expiry of the quiet period, backing its unconventional wafer-scale architecture weeks after a strong market debut.
IPO bookrunners Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, Barclays and UBS were among the firms to initiate coverage. Mizuho initiated with an Outperform rating and $300 price target, Wedbush with a Buy and $270 target, Barclays with an Overweight and $280 target, and UBS and Rosenblatt both set $300 targets. Morgan Stanley was the most conservative of the group, initiating at Overweight with a $250 target.

The US bank has raised its long-term copper forecasts and now expects prices to reach $15,000 a tonne within the next year, versus a current LME price below $13,800.
