According to a report by Forbes, Piper is taking a contrary view on Adobe compared to most analysts:

"While the Street generally thinks Adobe is coming out of a product cycle, we believe Adobe is going into a product cycle."

Piper Jaffray, according to Forbes, expects Adobe's third-quarter results to beat consensus expectations, based on higher-than-expected demand for Studio 8 and other Macromedia products.
