Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 40% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 2, 2025
Intuit fell after it warned growth may slow, pushing the price down more than usual. The business is still solid: a respected model scores its growth at 77%, and a major bank kept a positive view with an $825 goal. As selling pressure fades, a short-term bounce in the next 0-3 months is likely. We prefer easing in near $640-$665 and will wait for signs the slide is calming before getting more confident.
Primary drivers
- Trusted small-business finance tools like QuickBooks and TurboTax
- Share price fell after guidance reset, creating a possible entry window
- KeyBanc still positive, keeps $825 price goal, supporting sentiment
- Independent growth model gives a strong 77% score for expansion
