Double bottom · Analysis method

The price of ADBE is currently in no zone of this method. The check runs daily after the market close.

Whether a price will soon reach a zone, you see from Watcher. Plans and pricing

How the zone is formed

What is this? The price has formed two similarly deep lows and broken above the neckline between them. This is seen as a sign that the downward move is ending.

Buy zone: retest of the neckline (up to 1 ATR above it). Stop: just below the second low. Targets: height of the pattern from the neckline (1.0× and 1.618×).

The pattern is valid for at most 15 trading days and expires if the price falls below the stop. This is a calculated analysis, not a forecast and not a call to buy. Risk notice and investment advice

Key figures with traffic lights

Each light follows a simple, disclosed rule. The comparison is with the sector median of all 97 symbols in the Technology sector on our list (current members of the S&P 500 and other lists).

Revenue growth

Light yellow: below sector

+13.1% per year, last 5 years

Sector Technology: median +13.5% (88 symbols)

Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.

Net income (total)

Light yellow: below sector

+6.3% per year, last 5 years

Sector Technology: median +13.3% (62 symbols)

per share: +9.0% per year (5 years, split-adjusted)

What does this mean? Total net income: over 5 years it grew by 6.3% per year on average, but more slowly than the median company in the sector (+13.3%).

Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.

Net margin

Light green: above sector

30.0% last fiscal year

Sector Technology: median 12.5% (97 symbols)

What does this mean? Of every 100 USD in revenue, 30.00 USD remained as profit – at least as much as the median company in the sector (12.5%). Five years ago the margin was 40.9%.

Light rule: Green: at least the sector median (without a sector comparison: profit) · Yellow: profit, but below the median · Red: loss.

Debt / equity

Light green: lower than sector

Sector Technology: median 0.46 (65 symbols)

Payout ratio

Light gray: none found

– Dividend / earnings per share

Sector Technology: median 30% (36 symbols)

Light rule: Green: up to 60% of earnings · Yellow: up to 100% · Red: more than earnings or a dividend despite a loss · Gray for real estate (REITs). The sector median is for comparison only.
