ADBEAdobe Systems Incorporated
Aug 2026ResolvedADBE surged +$15.68 today to $289.15, now firmly above the 200DMA ($269.37) and approaching our established trim trigger of $285-295. The position is now at +42.6% unrealized gain from cost $202.73. Forward PE of 9.99x remains one of the cheapest quality SaaS valuations in the dataset. PEG 0.666, profit margin 28.7%, ROE 62.9%. Today's +5.73% move is the largest single-day gain in our portfolio. Analyst target $270.61 is well below current price — the market is now pricing in intrinsic value more accurately. NOTE: We are AT the lower bound of our trim trigger ($285). Per our prior thesis, we should initiate a partial trim of 15-18 shares at this level to lock in gains and free capital for AMAT or ADI additions. However, the momentum today is strong — I will set the trim at $292+ to capture more upside before locking profits. HOLDING all 98 shares today — monitor for $292+ trigger tomorrow.
Panel score as of Aug 27, 2026: 55/100

Adobe remains our primary value anchor, but our position is highly concentrated (~60% of the portfolio). Trimming 1 share (less than 1% of our holding) at $272.47 frees up capital to exploit a steeper pullback in Broadcom (AVGO), which currently trades at an even lower PEG ratio (0.441 vs 0.618) and offers stronger secular tailwinds.
