Raw BEACON composite
How to read this page
The big number above is ADBE's BEACON composite — a 0-100 sector-relative score blending three factors: Value (40%), Quality (35%), and Momentum (25%). A score of 70+ means ADBE ranks well against its Technology peers on most factors. The current macro regime is then overlaid to produce the regime-adjusted score lower on this page.
Every metric on this page is computed against Technology peers, not the whole market. A "cheap" P/E in tech isn't the same as a "cheap" P/E in utilities. Read the full methodology →
Quality 35%
How healthy is the underlying business? Higher gross margin, ROE, and FCF yield (and lower debt) earn higher Quality scores.
