How it trades on rate days

How ADBE has moved when long-dated Treasury yields rise — measured against TLT, the 20+ year Treasury fund.

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.11 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Adobe Systems Incorporated moved 0.11% on average · correlation 0.02 · higher than 14% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.73 more rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days +0.67% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days −0.73% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Daily total returns from the adjusted price series; a TLT down day is a day long yields rose. Beta = the average move of the name for a 1% move in TLT. Past sensitivity, not a forecast. An investment diary, not a recommendation.

Company snapshot — Adobe Systems Incorporated

ADBE in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
Adobe sells software for creating and managing digital content and customer experiences, split across three lines: Digital Media covers tools for photographers, video editors and designers to make, publish and promote content; Digital Experience gives brands and marketers a platform to plan, run and measure campaigns; and a smaller Publishing and Advertising line covers e-learning, document tools and Adobe's advertising business. It also has a partnership with HUMAIN to build generative AI models and AI-powered applications. The company is based in San Jose and sells mainly through its own website, app stores and resellers.
Where it sits in the stack
Adobe carries no seat in Rubin, our AI build-out index. It sits in the Technology sector, in the Software - Application industry, the applications software sleeve of the wider universe the diary tracks.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group for Adobe is built around creative and business software, putting it alongside Salesforce, Microsoft, Intuit and Autodesk; the market also weighs it against Figma as a design-tools rival.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
Adobe sits in the Nasdaq-100 and carries a Closelooknet score across three modules so far, with quality reading as the strongest and momentum as the weakest. The diary has quoted it in a Dossier mapping software firms against AI disruption risk and in a Weekly Signal tracking its share-price drawdown, and returns to it often given how many times its name comes up across our coverage.
What the diary watches
Whether the weak momentum reading turns, and whether the HUMAIN generative-AI partnership shows up in how the Digital Media and Digital Experience lines are priced and sold.

Adobe Systems Incorporated (ADBE) trades on US exchanges, classified under Technology.
