20 software stocks under pressure as Adobe’s decline weighs on sector

Software stocks remained under pressure Friday afternoon as investors continued to rotate away from parts of the technology sector following a disappointing reaction to Adobe’s (ADBE) latest earnings report.

Shares of Adobe declined about 5.6% during the session, underperforming all three major U.S. market averages and adding to the broader weakness seen across software names.

The drop deepens Adobe’s losses for the year, with the stock now down roughly 27.2% on a year-to-date basis. The move highlights the broader struggles within the software industry in 2026, where many high-growth names have faced persistent selling pressure amid valuation concerns and shifting investor sentiment.
