Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 22% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published July 7, 2025
Intuit just released Intuit Assist, a smart digital helper built on artificial intelligence. Because it can handle more tasks, the company can add higher-priced versions of TurboTax and QuickBooks. A July 7 report from investment bank Mizuho kept its $875 price goal and pushed investor optimism close to perfect. Trading patterns hint that the quiet stretch of the past six weeks could be ending. If share volume jumps once the price moves above $800, the stock might rise to $875-900 within the next three months.
Primary drivers
- AI helper may raise average customer spend on TurboTax and QuickBooks by 5-7%.
- Mizuho reiterated its $875 price goal on Jul 7, lifting investor mood sharply.
- Recent price trends and stronger buying hint that a new upward move is starting.
- More new small businesses could support Intuit's plan for 11-12% sales growth in 2025.
