Adobe CFO Departs Amid CEO Search as Company Raises Revenue Forecast
Adobe announced CFO Dan Durn's departure amid its ongoing search for a new CEO following Shantanu Narayen's decision to step down. Steve Day will serve as interim CFO. Despite raising its fiscal 2026 revenue forecast due to growing AI product demand, Adobe's shares fell over 4% amid investor concerns about leadership changes and competition from AI-driven design firms like Figma and Canva. The company also continues a $25 billion share repurchase program amid persistent stock weakness.
