If you believe ADBE’s superior margins and growth deserve a multiple closer to the P/E-based COST framework rather than the DCF range, then consider buying or holding ADBE because its current price is far below the P/E-implied value and its profitability profile is much stronger than COST’s.
ADBE’s current price of $250.41 is far below the P/E-based implied price of $872.96, suggesting a large valuation gap on that framework. However, the DCF range of $171.32 to $231.78 brackets below the current price, while the historical band of $225.37 to $275.45 places ADBE near the upper half of its recent trading range.
