Prominent AI Stocks anticipated to surge over 40% within the next year, as per expert Wall Street predictions.
Adobe, Salesforce, and Atlassian: A Market Overview
Adobe's stock has taken a hit this year, with shares sinking more than 20%, and currently sitting more than 40% below its 52-week high set in September 2024. However, the analysts remain optimistic, with 27 out of 40 rating Adobe's AI-powered software stock as a 'buy' or a 'strong buy'. Notably, analysts at DA Davidson and Goldman Sachs currently recommend Adobe stock as a buy, with DA Davidson confirming a buy rating and a target price of $500 as of September 12, 2025, and Goldman Sachs maintaining their buy rating with a target price of $570 as of September 16, 2025. The average 12-month price target for Adobe reflects an upside potential of around 42%.
In contrast, Wall Street sentiment is remarkably strong for Salesforce (CRM). The consensus 12-month price target for Salesforce stock is 45% above the current share price. One especially bullish analyst thinks Salesforce could skyrocket more than 80% higher, while even the most pessimistic analyst thinks the stock could jump 23% over the next 12 months. The company recently launched Agentforce 3, a platform that helps organizations deploy AI agents at scale, which Salesforce views as a smart move to bolster its agentic AI strategy. Salesforce is also planning to acquire data management provider Informatica for $8 billion.
The story for team collaboration and productivity software company Atlassian (TEAM) is a bit more mixed. Atlassian's revenue jumped 22% year over year in its latest quarter to nearly $1.4 billion. However, the stock has plunged roughly 30% year to date and is almost 50% below the 52-week high set in February. The remaining 6 analysts recommended holding shares of Atlassian, with one outlier thinking investors should sell the stock. CEO and co-founder Mike Cannon-Brookes noted that AI is fundamentally changing the way we work, and creating significant tailwinds for Atlassian. The average 12-month price target for Atlassian reflects an upside potential of around 60%.
Financial data and infrastructure provider LSEG surveyed 31 analysts who cover Atlassian, with 25 of these analysts rating the stock as either a 'buy' or a 'strong buy'. Among these, 42 out of 54 analysts surveyed by LSEG rated the software stock as a 'buy' or 'strong buy' for Adobe.
In summary, while Adobe and Atlassian have faced challenges this year, the analysts remain bullish on both companies' prospects, with particularly strong sentiment for Salesforce. The launch of Agentforce 3 and the planned acquisition of Informatica by Salesforce are key developments to watch.
