UBS bumped its price target on Buy-rated Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE) from $37 to $38 following third quarter results after the close.

"The pace of adoption for Creative Cloud subscriptions increased from Q2 to Q3 as all metrics improved (net new subs, % of users choosing annual plan & full Cloud pdt, ASPs, and a new ARR metric), and are expected to further improve in Q4. Optically, this means a lower reported rev as monthly payments replace upfront perpetual licenses – with an est. hit of $75M in Q3 and $94M in Q4. As a result, ADBE expects CS revs down in FY13, but growth resuming in FY14. Stock could be in holding pattern in S-T until there is more positive evidence from metrics."
