Adobe remains a high‑quality compounder with elite margins (~35% operating, ~28.7% net) and strong ROE (~62.9%). At 12.68x TTM P/E (9.06x forward), shares are still attractive; however, trimming a portion (retain 68 shares) reallocates capital into healthcare names trading at even lower forward multiples with resilient, non-cyclical demand (ZTS ~10.98x fwd P/E, BDX ~11.16x fwd P/E). This improves portfolio diversification and risk‑adjusted return while maintaining a core ADBE position.
