I Watched 147 Adobe Stock Videos To Expose Youtubers!
Author watched 147 YouTube videos on Adobe, criticizing media herd mentality, and argues ADBE is undervalued at $200 despite AI risks.
- Stock is significantly undervalued at $200 with AI competitive risks already priced into the multiple.
- Compressed valuation presents a strong long-term holding opportunity despite current drawdowns.
- Requires new leadership (CEO and CFO) and ARR stabilization before a sustainable structural bounce can occur.
- Growth deceleration and increased uncertainty have fundamentally lowered the stock's fair value.
Hey everyone, I am Adriconomics. I am a YouTuber and I have been a part of this value investing Reddit subs for quite a while now under a few different usernames.
I know the general sentiment around here regarding finance YouTubers is very negative, with a lot of mistrust. Most content out there is complete bullshit. iThat is why, to research my recent video, I decided to watch 147 different YouTuber videos completely dedicated to Adobe stock. I wanted to trace the chronological timeline of recommendations from the absolute top a couple of years ago straight down to the recent lows and exposed creators.
Honestly, I was impressed negatively by the herd mentality, but mostly by mainstream media. CNBC screaming that Adobe was a conviction buy at $600 is now spreading panic or pivoting its narrative now that it is around $200. Price action is entirely driving their fundamental sentiment, not the other way around.
I believe for most YouTubers it is different, but many big channels called it a buy again and again all the way down.
My Personal Take on Adobe
After thousands of minutes of Adobe content and re-running the numbers several times, here is my two cents.
- Leadership Problem: I firmly believe Adobe needs a new CEO and CFO as soon as possible. We need to see ARR stabilize before the stock can find a sustainable structural bounce.
- The Valuation: My fair value has definitely come down given the rise of uncertainty and growth deceleration. However, at $200, I believe the stock is significantly underpriced. The competitive risks from AI are already priced into this multiple.
I am a bag holder. I have been holding a personal position since $280. I will admit it hurts to look at right now, but I refuse to sell out at this compressed valuation.
What is your take? If you bought, were you influenced by any finance YouTubers?
