How to check this claim
Look at: Total Adobe ARR growth rate, fiscal year 2026
It came true if: FY2026 total Adobe ARR growth >= 10.2% as reported
Where: Company-disclosed ARR figures (10-K / Q4 FY26 earnings call)
In context
“d mobile freemium offerings, including Express, Firefly, Photoshop and Premiere. While this freemium approach is intentionally designed to serve the next generation of creators, build the Adobe brand and set the foundation for accelerated growth over time, these offerings have a near-term impact on ARR. In addition, we continue to monitor and drive utilization of AI functionality across our products. In Q1, this AI functionality drove significantly greater credit consumption quarter-over-quarter. However, in Q1, we experienced a greater-than-anticipated decline in our traditional stand-alone stock book of business. While this is happening faster than expected, our strategy is to provide customers with the choice to use stock or generative AI offerings for creative and marketing workflows. We expect strength for our core Acrobat and CC products and enterprise demand for our CXO solutions, coupled with new MAU growth for Firefly and Express and increasing AI usage and monetization to gain momentum as we move through the year. We continue to expect total Adobe ARR growth of 10.2% for FY '26. Let me now turn to our financial targets, which assume current macroeconomic conditions and do not include the contribution of Semrush, which we continue to expect to close in Q2, subject to regulatory approvals and closing conditions. For Q2 fiscal 2026, we're targeting total Adobe revenue of $6.43 billion to $6.48 billion, Business Professionals & Consumers subscription revenue of $1.80 billion to $1.82 billion, Creative & Marketing Professionals subscription revenue of $4.41 billion to $4.44 billion, GAAP EPS of $4.35 to $4.40 and non-GAAP EPS of $5.80 to $5.85. For Q2, we expect non-GAAP operating margin of approximately 44.5% and non-GAAP tax rate of approximately 18%. In addition, we are reaffirming our FY '26 targets”
