downgrade

Outperform -> Market Perform

Reason

BMO Capital downgraded Adobe to Market Perform from Outperform with a price target of $375, down from $400. The firm's creative cloud survey indicates creative market competitive dynamics are increasing, particularly in smaller businesses, students, and freelancers. While Adobe's valuation is "undemanding," BMO does not see positive catalysts and thinks the shares will remain range-bound, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Hold -> Buy

Reason

Jefferies upgraded IBM to Buy from Hold with a price target of $360, up from $300. The firm adjusted ratings in the software sector as part of its "playbook" for 2026. Investors should stay underweight software as growth slows and lags other sectors like semiconductors, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Jefferies believes 2026 will be another year of "gradual" artificial intelligence monetization, with more meaningful growth needed to ease disintermediation fears. The firm prefers infrastructure over applications in the first half of the year, but believes negative application sentiment "is not grounded in realities." Applications sentiment should improve in the back half the year, Jefferies contends. To reflect this, the firm upgraded IBM and downgraded Adobe to start off the year.
