The $11.36bn of customer prepayments turned what would have been roughly $16.8bn of burn into a $5.40bn shortfall, and it moves the funding question from Oracle's balance sheet to the credit of the customers writing the cheques.
Reality
Adobe's August quarter cleared analyst estimates by about 1 per cent on revenue and 0.8 per cent on adjusted earnings, and the stock fell more than 2 per cent after hours once the guidance was in front of investors.

Reality
Adjusted EPS came in at $5.90 against a $3.27 consensus. The revenue beat was 0.26% and the full-year raise 0.43%, which is where the question about agents and seats actually sits.
