Shares of Adobe have underperformed the Zacks Software industry over the past year (+25.5% vs. +41.1%), however, things seem to be improving for it. The Zacks analyst believes that Adobe has been benefiting from strong demand for its cloud products. The company’s Creative Cloud, Document Cloud and Adobe Experience Cloud products have also been driving top-line growth.
Rising subscription revenues and solid momentum across mobile apps are other major positives. Adobe’s market position, compelling product lines, persistent innovation and solid adoption of Creative Cloud and Adobe marketing cloud are likely to support its revenue growth in the quarters ahead.

Raytheon shares have gained +19.7% in the year to date period against the Zacks Defense Equipment industry’s gain of +7.9%. The Zacks analyst believes that merger related synergies and solid order growth are likely to aid Raytheon Technologies
Raytheon’s management remains upbeat about the growth of both domestic and international programs in the quarters ahead. RTX’s SEAKR Engineering acquisition is expected to boost its space-based capabilities. Restrictions on air travel due to COVID-19, however, have been weighing on RTX’s operating results. The near-term outlook for commercial air traffic too remains bleak and is a major concern.

Shares of Anthem have gained +16.7% in the last three months against the Zacks Medical Insurance industry’s gain of +16%. The Zacks analyst believes that strategic buyouts and collaborations, and an expanding product portfolio is likely to drive Anthem’s long-term growth.
Anthem has recently witnessed a rise in usage of its virtual care services. Well-performing Medicare and Medicaid businesses coupled with several contract wins are expected to drive its membership further. It exited the third quarter with 44.3 million members. Escalating costs and a weak balance sheet, however, remain as major concerns.
