According to the financials, Adobe, Inc. has seen its net sales reach a high of USD 5,309 million, with a positive trend in each of the last five periods.

However, there are some areas that are not working in favor of Adobe, Inc. The company's interest cost has risen by 51.85% period on period, indicating increased borrowings. This has also led to a decrease in the company's interest coverage ratio, which is at its lowest in the last five periods. Additionally, the company's operating cash flow has fallen to its lowest in the last three years.

Despite these challenges, Infinhub has given a 'Hold' call for Adobe, Inc.'s stock. The company's financials show a positive trend in the near term, with increasing profitability and improved liquidity. However, investors should keep an eye on the rising interest cost and its impact on the company's financials.
