Dec 11 (Reuters) - Photoshop maker Adobe

forecast fiscal 2025 revenue below Wall Street estimates on

Wednesday, indicating the company's investments to weave AI into

its software applications were taking longer to bear fruit.

Shares of the San Jose, California-based company fell over

8% in extended trading.

The company forecast revenue between $23.30 billion and

$23.55 billion compared with estimates of $23.78 billion,

according to data compiled by LSEG.

Adobe expects headwind of around $200 million to its fiscal

2025 revenue as a result of foreign exchange volatility and the

company's shift towards subscriptions.

The company is making significant investments in AI-driven

image and video generation technologies in response to the

growing competition from well-capitalized startups such as

Stability AI and Midjourney.

While Adobe projected strong growth for the second half of

the year in June, its forecast on Wednesday indicated the

company was still struggling to monetize its AI push.

The company forecast first-quarter revenue between $5.63

billion and $5.68 billion, below estimates of $5.73 billion.
