Recently, Adobe (NASDAQ:ADBE) announced that the new tax reform will lower company’s effective tax rate for 2018 and beyond. As a result, the stock price for the company rallied by nearly 3.5% on Tuesday. While it is unclear what the new tax rate for the company will be, we have created an illustrative dashboard that tests the sensitivity of Adobe’s stock price to changes in effective tax rate. You can modify assumptions such as total revenues, earnings multiples, margins and others to see how the dynamics of tax rate/market price sensitivity change.

Our price estimate for Adobe stands at $178, which is below the current market price.
