Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ:ADBE) shares traded higher Thursday as part of a broader rally in software stocks. This movement comes amid a decline in yields, which typically benefits growth stocks like those in the software sector.
What's Going On: Thursday's economic indicators, including an upward revision in first-quarter GDP growth to 1.4% and mixed consumer spending data, have influenced market sentiment. Despite the modest GDP growth, concerns over weakening consumer spending have been highlighted by economists, potentially signaling a slower economic trajectory for the rest of the year.
Investors in tech stocks, including Adobe, Salesforce and Meta Platforms, have responded positively, with these stocks seeing strong gains on Thursday. The outperformance in the tech sector is reflected in indices such as the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY), which closed up 0.17% and the Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ), which closed up 0.26%.
How To Buy ADBE Stock
By now you're likely curious about how to participate in the market for Adobe – be it to purchase shares, or even attempt to bet against the company.
Buying shares is typically done through a brokerage account. You can find a list of possible trading platforms here. Many will allow you to buy 'fractional shares,' which allows you to own portions of stock without buying an entire share. In the case of Adobe, which is trading at $546.76 as of publishing time, $100 would buy you 0.18 shares of stock.
If you're looking to bet against a company, the process is more complex. You'll need access to an options trading platform, or a broker who will allow you to 'go short' a share of stock by lending you the shares to sell. The process of shorting a stock can be found at this resource. Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading – either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.

作爲軟件股更廣泛上漲的一部分，Adobe公司（納斯達克股票代碼：ADBE）股價週四上漲。這一走勢是在收益率下降之際發生的，收益率通常會使軟件行業等成長型股票受益。
發生了什麼：週四的經濟指標，包括將第一季度GDP增長上調至1.4％以及喜憂參半的消費者支出數據，都影響了市場情緒。儘管國內生產總值增長溫和，但經濟學家強調了對消費者支出疲軟的擔憂，這可能預示着今年剩餘時間的經濟走勢放緩。
包括Adobe、Salesforce和Meta Platforms在內的科技股的投資者做出了積極的回應，這些股票在週四出現了強勁的漲勢。科技板塊的跑贏大盤表現反映在SPDR標準普爾500指數ETF信託（紐約證券交易所代碼：SPY）收盤上漲0.17％和景順QQ信託（納斯達克股票代碼：QQQ）等指數中，收盤上漲0.26％。
如何購買ADBE股票
到目前爲止，你可能對如何參與Adobe的市場感到好奇——無論是購買股票，還是嘗試押注該公司。
購買股票通常通過經紀帳户完成。您可以在此處找到可能的交易平台列表。許多股票允許您購買 “部分股票”，這使您無需購買整股即可擁有部分股票。就Adobe而言，截至發佈時的交易價格爲546.76美元，100美元將爲您購買0.18股股票。
如果你想對一家公司下注，這個過程會更加複雜。您需要訪問期權交易平台或經紀商，該經紀人將允許您 “空頭” 一股股票，將股票借給您。可以在此資源中找到做空股票的過程。否則，如果您的經紀人允許您交易期權，您可以買入看跌期權，也可以以高於當前股票交易價格的行使價賣出看漲期權——無論哪種方式，它都允許您從股價下跌中獲利。
