Adobe’s lose-lose Figma bind
  + stars: | 2023-02-24 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
NEW YORK, Feb 24 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Adobe’s (ADBE.O) $20 billion Figma deal is too expensive, and yet boss Shantanu Narayen is punished for losing it. Adobe’s shares tumbled over 7% on Friday after Bloomberg reported the previous night that U.S. antitrust enforcers might block it. That conflicts with the initial reaction to the cash-and-stock deal, when shares crashed 16% on announcement in September. Startups like Figma and peer Canva leapfrogged Adobe in tools allowing multiple users to work on a document simultaneously. That’s why losing Figma also hurts: The deal is an expensive bridge to a new future.
For all the turmoil in the technology industry in 2022, Adobe Inc. Chief Executive Shantanu Narayen says the questions he and other executives keep asking these days are relatively timeless. “Are you looking around the corner adequately?” the 59-year-old asks. “How do you—in addition to ensuring that you have the right strategy—execute against it?”
Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen told the WSJ that leaders who don't love what they do can't do their jobs. Narayen has been Adobe's CEO for 15 years, a longer tenure than that of most tech leaders. Narayen, who has been Adobe CEO since 2007, gave his advice to other leaders looking for long tenures. He added that he has "no idea" what he would do if he wasn't Adobe CEO. "I'm probably not as out there as other CEOs," Narayen told Insider.

Revenue: $4.53 billion, vs. $4.53 billion as expected by analysts, according to Refinitiv. In the previous quarter revenue rose by 13%. In the quarter Adobe said it would buy design software startup Figma for about $20 billion in the 40-year-old public company's largest transaction to date.
The business Wadhwani oversees is roughly three times the size as Chakravarthy's in terms of revenue. For Wadhwani, Figma represents a risky bet on growth at a time when Wall Street is telling tech companies to tighten their belts and preserve cash. The make-or-break betIn his 15-year tenure as CEO, Narayen hasn't been shy about dealmaking, just at a smaller size. And it might be Wadhwani's make-or-break opportunity to prove he should be CEO of the fourth-biggest U.S. business software company by market cap. Shantanu Narayen, CEO, Adobe Mark Neuling | CNBCThe revenue became more predictable and less closely associated with product releases.

The design technology titan is acquiring startup Figma for $20 billion, using roughly half cash and half shares, in a deal that will significantly beef up its online collaboration capabilities.
