Adobe

The software giant continues to evolve. In its most recent quarter, Adobe’s digital media segment, its largest, grew by 19% year over year. The company’s subscription-based suite of tools for designing and publishing content and its software for document creation and electronic signatures (yes, PDFs are still big business) were largely responsible. And Adobe’s diverse mix of customers is also helping to future-proof its business. Sales of the company’s Advertising Cloud products have flattened lately, owing to increased competition from large players and a “significant global decline in advertising spending.” But the stock is up 150% over three years.
