Adobe's outlook for its fiscal first quarter was also above market expectations. The company said it expects first-quarter adjusted earnings per share of 44 cents to 46 cents, ahead of the average Wall Street estimate of 42 cents.
It forecast revenue of $855 million to $885 million and net earnings per share of 34 cents to 36 cents. Wall Street was looking for first quarter revenue of $837 million, according to Reuters Estimates,
Adobe also said its board has approved a 30 million share increase to its stock repurchase program announced in April 2007, bringing the total buyback to 50 million shares.
