Adobe Stock Rises 175 Bps on AI Integration as 11B Volume Secures 66th Market Activity Rank

Adobe (ADBE) rose 1.75% on Sept. 26, with a trading volume of $1.10 billion, ranking 66th in market activity. The stock's performance was influenced by strategic updates and market dynamics tied to its core software ecosystem.

Recent developments highlighted Adobe's focus on expanding its creative tools through AI integration, which analysts suggest could enhance user retention. The company emphasized iterative improvements in its monthly software updates, aligning with long-term subscription growth strategies. Additionally, Adobe's enterprise solutions division reported steady adoption in mid-market sectors, contributing to a balanced revenue outlook.

Market participants noted that Adobe's pricing resilience remains a key factor, as the firm maintains its premium positioning despite competitive pressures from cloud-based alternatives. However, concerns linger about macroeconomic headwinds potentially affecting discretionary spending on digital tools in the short term.

Before I launch the full back-test, I need to pin down a few practical details so the results match what you have in mind: Universe — Should I consider only U.S.–listed common stocks (NYSE + NASDAQ), or a broader/narrower universe? Are ETFs, ADRs, penny stocks, or any other groups to be excluded? Ranking & timing convention — Do you want to rank names on the prior day’s dollar volume (close × shares traded) and buy them at today’s open, then sell at tomorrow’s open (1-day hold)? — or buy at today’s close and exit at tomorrow’s close? Equal-weight each position? (Default for this type of study unless you specify otherwise.) Transaction cost assumptions — Slippage/commissions per trade, or assume frictionless execution? Current end date — Run through the most recent full trading day (2025-09-25) or stop earlier?
