Adobe Systems (NASDAQ:ADBE) currently trades at a P/E of 65 and a forward P/E of almost 35. The companys success at transitioning its business model to cloud-based subscriptions (perhaps the most successful cloud transition amongst software companies?) accounts for most of the optimism surrounding the stock. For this article, we want to focus on its smaller Marketing Cloud business. We believe its the greatest reason for optimism about the stock and the reason investors in traditional ad agencies such as WPP Group (NYSE:WPP), Omnicom (NYSE:OMC), Interpublic Group (NYSE:IPG), Publicis Groupe (OTCQX:PUBGY), and Denstu (OTCPK:DNTUY) should be very concerned.
Advertising Industry
The most important thing to understand about the advertising industry is that it’s essentially a no-growth sector. The chart below shows advertising spend in the US as a percent of GDP.
