Piper Sandler Reiterates Overweight on Adobe (ADBE) After $1.9B Semrush Acquisition

Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE) is one of the AI Stocks in Focus on Wall Street. On November 20, Piper Sandler reiterated an Overweight rating on the stock with a $470.00 price target. The rating affirmation follows Adobe’s announcement of its Semrush acquisition, which is a leading brand visibility platform, in order to boost its tools for marketers in the AI era.

The company announced that it will be acquiring Semrush in an all-cash transaction for $12.00 per share, representing a total equity value of an estimated $1.9 billion. The deal is anticipated to close during the first half of 2026.

According to the firm, the acquisition will enable Adobe to strengthen its existing Adobe Experience Manager, Agentic Web, and Analytics solutions for marketing professionals. This will be done by integrating Semrush’s generative engine optimization (GEO) and search engine optimization (SEO) capabilities.

“Brand visibility is being reshaped by generative AI, and brands that don’t embrace this new opportunity risk losing relevance and revenue. With Semrush, we’re unlocking GEO for marketers as a new growth channel alongside their SEO, driving more visibility, customer engagement and conversions across the ecosystem.” – Anil Chakravarthy, president of Adobe’s Digital Experience Business.
