Adobe Still Has $24.5 Billion Left for Buybacks. That's About a Quarter of the Company.

Adobe has $24.55 billion remaining from a $25 billion stock buyback authorization approved in April 2026, representing about 26% of the company's market value. The company has been repurchasing shares at an average rate of $2.3 billion per quarter using operational cash flow, with buybacks accounting for roughly half of the earnings-per-share growth in fiscal Q3. At the current stock price of $240, the analyst views buybacks as a reasonable use of capital, though notes that the stock's 31% decline from $350 reflects market concerns about AI's impact on Adobe's pricing power.
