Oracle and Adobe both announced their earnings after the bell yesterday, and both companies were being closely watched as possible indicators of the overall health of the tech sector in what’s pretty obviously at least an economic hiccup on the way to recovery. Both the companies reported quarters that included upside surprises, sending both stocks…
