Adobe Systems (NASDAQ: ADBE) shares were trading around 4% lower after-hours Tuesday, despite the company delivering strong third quarter results, with EPS coming in at $3.11, beating the consensus estimate of $3.01. The downside could just be a "sell the news" reaction to the strong results as analysts have been pounding the table on the stock into the print.

The company's quarterly revenue grew 22% year-over-year to a record $3.94 billion versus the consensus estimate of $3.89 billion.
