Smart Money Is Betting Big In ADBE Options

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) disclosed recent purchases of several stocks on Christmas Eve, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/members/marjorie-taylor-greene">Benzinga Government Trades.</a>
Here's a look at what the far-right politician bought.
What Happened: Greene has been an active trader of stocks while in Congress, based on her disclosures over the years.
After going several years without disclosing any trades, Greene <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38611874/marjorie-taylor-greene-reveals-new-stock-trades-after-2-year-gap-berkshire-hathway-goldman-sachs">disclosed several purchases</a> in May. She also made<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/11/41754747/is-marjorie-taylor-greene-betting-on-trump-victory-buys-apple-meta-tesla-stocks-ahead-of-2024-electi"> multiple transactions</a> later in September, October and November.
Greene recently disclosed multiple stock purchases that happened on Dec. 24. Here are the trades that she made, with each valued between $1,000 and $15,000:
<ul>
<li>Adobe Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>)</li>
<li>Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>)</li>
<li>Applied Materials (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMAT#NASDAQ">AMAT</a>)</li>
<li>Caterpillar Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>)</li>
<li>Duke Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DUK#NYSE">DUK</a>)</li>
<li>Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>)</li>
<li>Gilead Sciences (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GILD#NASDAQ">GILD</a>)</li>
<li>Johnson and Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>)</li>
<li>Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>)</li>
<li>Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>)</li>
<li>Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NSC#NYSE">NSC</a>)</li>
<li>NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)</li>

<li>The Hershey Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HSY#NYSE">HSY</a>)</li>
</ul>
Of these stocks bought in the latest disclosures, Eli Lilly, Gilead and Norfolk Southern are new buys for Greene over the last two years.
The rest of the stocks are already owned by Greene with her adding to her position. Several of the stocks, like Hershey have been bought four times by Greene in 2024.

</ul>
Why It's Important: The trading activity of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/congress-trading">members of Congress </a>continues to be a hot-button item closely monitored by retail investors and the public.
President Joe Biden <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42538504/biden-endorses-ban-of-congressional-stock-trading-nobody-in-the-congress-should-be-able-to-make-money-in-the-stock-market-while-in-office">endorsed a ban</a>, suggesting Congress members shouldn&#8217;t be able to trade stocks and options while in office.
&#8220;Nobody in the Congress should be able to make money in the stock market while they&#8217;re in the Congress,&#8221; Biden said in an interview with political advisor&nbsp;Faiz Shakir.
There have been numerous calls to vote for Congress members to vote for a ban on Congressional trading, but a vote has not happened. Representative&nbsp;Ro Khanna&nbsp;(D-Calif.)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/05/39096827/exclusive-khanna-says-shameful-congress-members-profited-from-stocks-calls-for-trading-ban-makin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">previously told Benzinga&nbsp;</a>that he will continue to advocate for a vote to ban the practice.
Congressional committee assignments can create conflicts of interest when trades are disclosed. Greene serves on the House Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation, which could give her information on government contracts for technology companies.
Greene's latest stock purchases in November and the new disclosures show a continued bet on technology stocks going forward. Chip stocks and technology companies were among&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41584466/these-10-stocks-were-the-best-s-p-500-performers-in-2017-when-trump-was-president-will-history-r" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the best performing&nbsp;</a>in the S&amp;P 500 in 2017, Trump&#8217;s first year in the White House previously.
Tech giants Meta and Microsoft remain popular for Greene in 2024 with multiple purchases made. A pending ban of TikTok could benefit Meta in 2025.
Greene is also positioning her portfolio with several healthcare names like Eli Lilly, Gilead and Johnson and Johnson.
A deal between Mondelez International (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDLZ#NASDAQ">MDLZ</a>) and Hershey could benefit Greene if the chocolate company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/ma/24/12/42496403/deal-dispatch-hershey-monelez-houlihan-intevac-onion-infowars">approves an acquisition</a>.
While Greene has been actively buying stocks over the last several months, she has not reported selling her shares of Trump Media &amp; Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJT#NASDAQ">DJT</a>), the Trump co-founded media company that completed a SPAC merger earlier this year.
Greene <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/41031499/marjorie-taylor-greene-stays-loyal-to-trump-keeps-djt-stock-buys-into-warren-buffetts-berkshire-in-l">disclosed buying</a>&nbsp;Digital World Acquisition&nbsp;shares back in October 2021, the SPAC that took&nbsp;Trump's&nbsp;media company public in March 2024.
The transaction was done with shares trading between $67.96 to $118.80. A tweet from UnusualWhales pins the purchase price at $94.20, meaning Greene is down significantly on her $15,000 to $50,000 purchase in the Trump-linked stock. Shares of DJT trade at $39.13 at the time of writing.
Previous disclosures by Greene have shown buys of Tesla and Berkshire Hathaway stock. Greene's portfolio currently consists of investments tied to some of the richest people in the world including Elon Musk, Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Jensen Huang. Her portfolio also has exposure to Trump via his media company.

<h3>Adobe's Performance Over Last 15 Years</h3>

Finally -- what's the point of all this? The key insight to take from this article is to note how much of a difference compounded returns can make in your cash growth over a period of time.
This article was generated by Benzinga's automated content engine and reviewed by an editor.

If You Invested $100 In This Stock 15 Years Ago, You Would Have This Much Today

In the current session, Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) is trading at $447.22, after a 0.65% decrease. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 13.71%, and in the past year, by 23.25%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are more likely to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735332319_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Adobe P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 96.7 in the Software industry, Adobe Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 36.42. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735332319_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Why It Matters: According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com">Benzinga</a>, PLTR has a consensus &#8216;sell&#8217; with a price target of $35.58 based on the ratings of 20 analysts.
The highest price target out of all the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/PLTR/analyst-ratings">analysts</a> tracked by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com">Benzinga </a>is $80 issued by UBS with a &#8216;neutral&#8217; rating on Dec. 19. UBS is bullish on Palantir&#8217;s AI-driven growth potential but remains sidelined due to its extremely high valuation. UBS believes the current valuation is unjustified with 49 times revenue and 124 times free cash flow on 2025 estimates. Despite this, Palantir&#8217;s impressive growth and increasing institutional interest make it a stock to watch for potential future investment opportunities, says UBS.
Wedbush analyst Dan Ives, a strong Palantir bull with a $75 price target issued on Nov. 25 with an &#8216;outperform&#8217; rating. He believes AI spending will surge in 2025. He lauds Palantir as &#8220;the Messi of AI,&#8221; emphasizing its leading role in the AI revolution. Ives highlights the expanding use cases for Palantir&#8217;s products, a growing partner ecosystem, and rising demand for its enterprise AI solutions.
Mizuho raised its price target to $44 while maintaining an &#8216;underperform&#8217; rating. This increase reflects broader software sector multiple expansions. Mizuho identifies key trends driving software growth: digital transformation, AI, data analytics, cloud migrations, DevOps, and cybersecurity. While the risk/reward is more balanced, Mizuho sees continued attractiveness in the software sector.
The lowest target price of $7.5 per share, maintaining an &#8216;underperform&#8217; from Wolfe Research was adjusted on Aug. 8, 2023. The average price target of $64.67 between UBS, Mizuho, and Baird implies a 20.96% downside for PLTR.

Market Whales and Their Recent Bets on ADBE Options

Marques Brownlee, popularly known as MKBHD, highlights how Google&#8217;s Veo 2 AI video generator, owned by Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), outshines OpenAI&#8217;s Sora model.
What Happened: On Thursday, Brownlee shared a YouTube Short of his observations pointing out that while Sora often displayed its AI nature through inaccuracies in movement and physics, Veo 2 delivered more realistic results.
However, he acknowledged that Veo 2 still has flaws, such as issues with complex scenes and garbled text.
One of the standout points in Brownlee's comparison was his emphasis on YouTube data—something that sets Veo 2 apart from other models, including OpenAI's Sora.

In March this year, former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37704187/is-openais-viral-ai-video-generator-sora-trained-on-youtube-and-instagram-cto-mira-murati-is-not-sur">uncertainty about whether</a> YouTube videos were used to train Sora created controversy. The following month, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan said that using YouTube videos in such manner would violate their policy.
When asked if Google is using YouTube to train Gemini, Mohan said, &#8220;Google uses YouTube content really in accordance. Again, back with those terms of service or individual contracts that we might have with creators or uploaders to our platform.&#8221;

Marques Brownlee Breaks Down How Google's AI Video Generator Veo2 Outpaces OpenAI's Sora

Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) plans to introduce a new AI video editing feature in 2025.
What Happened: On Thursday, Head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri, shared a teaser video of the AI tool that lets users tweak nearly every video detail with just a text prompt.
Powered by Meta&#8217;s Movie Gen AI, the tool simplifies video transformations for creators without advanced editing skills.

The teaser shows AI altering Mosseri&#8217;s appearance and background, as well as turning him into a felt puppet.

Why It Matters: Subtle edits, like adding objects or accessories like a gold chain, blend seamlessly without distortion. However, OpenAI's Sora video model initially impressed with polished previews, but its public release fell short of expectations.
It remains to be seen whether Instagram's AI video tools will deliver on their promise once they debut.
Meta first introduced its Movie Gen AI <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/10/41188250/metas-movie-gen-brings-ai-powered-video-audio-creation-to-all">video generator in October</a>. While the exact release date remains unannounced, Instagram will be the first platform to integrate this innovative text-to-video model.
In September 2024, Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ADBE#NASDAQ">ADBE</a>) also unveiled its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/09/40819405/adobe-shakes-up-video-editing-with-ai-powered-creation-tools-whats-on-the-cards">generative AI video capabilities</a> with the Adobe Firefly Video Model.

Shares of stocks in the broader software sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness following the Fed's rate decision to cut rates by 25 basis points.

Elon Musk has expressed admiration for Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ: GOOG0 (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/googl#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42514620/googles-veo-2-and-imagen-3-set-new-standards-for-ai-creativity">new AI video tool</a>, Veo 2, as it enters the competitive landscape against OpenAI&#8217;s Sora.
What Happened: On Monday, Google introduced Veo 2, a cutting-edge AI video tool, alongside its enhanced Imagen 3 image models.
Veo 2 boasts features like up to 4K resolution, extended video lengths, shallow depth of field, and specific lens types.&nbsp;
The company's CEO Sundar Pichai showcased videos generated by Veo 2 on X, formerly Twitter, demonstrating its potential.&nbsp;

Replying to him, xAI founder Musk said, &#8220;Looks impressive,&#8221; referring to the videos generated by the model.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Musk also shared a post by prominent investor Jason Calacanis, who stated that both Google's Gemini and xAI's Grok models have now "reached parity, and in some cases are much better," than OpenAI's ChatGPT.
Calacanis noted that his use of all three models—Google's Gemini, Grok, and ChatGPT—had shifted dramatically over the past month, with Google's tools now handling more than 50% of his queries, a sharp increase from the previous 90% reliance on ChatGPT.
Calacanis said, "It's now a data and UI game, and I think Reddit, X/Twitter, and Google's dataset will trounce OpenAI's lack of data."
His statement underscores the growing belief that Google's data advantages and advanced AI tools could soon outpace OpenAI in several key areas.

He highlighted the model's capability to produce 3D-realistic video from text inputs, effectively simulating intricate elements such as lighting and reflections that are crucial for real-world navigation.
However, apart from OpenAI's Sora, Google's latest model competes with several other companies.
