Adobe has lower reported P/E, PEG and P/B ratios than CrowdStrike in this snapshot. That’s a starting point for comparison, not proof that Adobe is undervalued or the better investment.

CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (CRWD) and Adobe Inc. (ADBE) are both in the Information Technology sector and the Software & Services industry group, but their snapshot figures differ. As of October 29, 2026, CrowdStrike’s adjusted close was US$261.15 and its market cap was US$267.4 billion. Adobe’s adjusted close was US$248.12, with a market cap of US$97.2 billion. Adobe has the lower reported P/E, PEG and P/B ratios. These figures reflect one point in time. They don’t explain the difference between the companies’ multiples or show what either stock is worth.

Investor takeaway: Adobe screens cheaper on all three supplied multiples: P/E, PEG and P/B. It also has higher TTM ROE in this snapshot, while CrowdStrike has a Buy analyst consensus and Adobe has Hold. These figures measure different things and don’t provide a complete picture of either company. A lower multiple doesn’t prove a stock is undervalued, and these figures alone don’t show which company is the better investment.

Adobe has the lower reported P/E, PEG and P/B

Adobe’s snapshot shows a P/E of 13.9, a PEG of 0.60 and a P/B of 8.25. CrowdStrike’s figures are 5223.0, 6.88 and 52.41, respectively. Adobe screens cheaper on all three measures, but that doesn’t prove it’s undervalued or that the companies are comparable on every measure that matters.

Bull case

Adobe pairs lower P/E, PEG and P/B figures with a TTM ROE of 61.9%. Investors comparing valuation and reported returns may find those figures worth considering. They don’t predict future performance.

Bear case

Adobe’s lower multiples don’t show whether its shares are cheap given its risks or future results. The snapshot doesn’t explain why Adobe’s figures differ from CrowdStrike’s, so investors shouldn’t treat this comparison as a conclusion.

The supplied multiples favour Adobe

Adobe has the lower figure for each supplied multiple. Its P/E is 13.9, compared with CrowdStrike’s 5223.0. Its PEG is 0.60 versus 6.88, and its P/B is 8.25 versus 52.41. On these measures, Adobe screens cheaper. That’s a comparison of the figures provided, not proof that Adobe is undervalued. Multiples alone don’t explain differences in earnings, growth expectations, balance sheets or risk. Read more about CrowdStrike and Adobe.

Other snapshot figures add context

Adobe’s TTM ROE is 61.9%, compared with CrowdStrike’s 1.5%. Both companies have a 0.00% dividend yield. The supplied table lists a Buy consensus for CrowdStrike and Hold for Adobe, with price targets of US$247.25 and US$272.31, respectively. These are snapshot figures, not guarantees or a substitute for assessing each business. They don’t explain the valuation gap or show which stock will perform better.
