Adobe screens cheaper on all three valuation measures in this snapshot. But that alone doesn’t show which stock is the better investment.
CrowdStrike Holdings and Adobe are both in the Information Technology sector and the Software & Services industry group, but their reported figures differ sharply. At the November 5, 2026 adjusted close, CrowdStrike traded at US$217.20 per share, with a market cap of US$222.4 billion. Adobe closed at US$246.44 per share, with a market cap of US$96.7 billion.
Adobe has the lower P/E, PEG and P/B ratios. Treat these figures as a starting point, not proof of fair value or future performance.

Investor takeaway: Adobe looks cheaper on the supplied multiples, but that doesn’t prove it’s undervalued or that CrowdStrike is overvalued. The comparison also doesn’t account for differences in business prospects or risk. The snapshot shows a wide gap in trailing ROE, while both companies have a 0.00% dividend yield.
Adobe’s P/E is 13.9, compared with CrowdStrike’s 4344.0
Adobe also has a lower PEG (0.59 versus 6.22) and P/B (8.19 versus 43.59). All three measures point in the same direction, but they don’t explain the gap or predict how either stock will perform.
Bull case
Adobe pairs lower valuation multiples with a TTM ROE of 61.9%. That may appeal to investors comparing price with the supplied profitability measure, but it doesn’t tell you what future returns will be.
Bear case
Lower multiples don’t guarantee that Adobe is a bargain or shield it from weaker results. Its 0.00% dividend yield also means there’s no dividend income in this snapshot to offset a fall in the share price.
Adobe screens cheaper across the supplied multiples
Adobe’s reported P/E is 13.9, PEG is 0.59 and P/B is 8.19. CrowdStrike’s figures are 4344.0, 6.22 and 43.59, respectively. All three measures make Adobe look cheaper in this snapshot. But these figures aren’t a complete valuation model, and they don’t prove either stock is mispriced. See the company profiles for CrowdStrike and Adobe.
Profitability and analyst labels add context
Adobe’s TTM ROE is 61.9%, compared with 1.5% for CrowdStrike. Both companies have a 0.00% dividend yield. The supplied analyst consensus labels are Buy for CrowdStrike and Hold for Adobe. Listed analyst targets are US$248.45 for CrowdStrike and US$268.30 for Adobe.
These labels and targets reflect the snapshot, not a guarantee or a substitute for assessing each business. The comparison doesn’t explain the valuation gap, and the multiples alone can’t tell you which company is a better fit for your investment goals.
