Warn: Primary pillar under pressure — EPS near $0.76 next quarter: EPS $2.17 vs $0.73.
Intuit grows revenue about 10% a year, with $21.35B expected in FY26. Profit margins remain strong with EPS guidance at $0.76 next quarter. The company repurchased $1.6B in stock recently, showing strong capital return. AI investments and cost cuts aim to improve efficiency and innovation.
Growth faces pressure from AI disruption and pricing challenges. Recent layoffs and debt issuance raise concerns about execution. Guidance cuts and market skepticism may limit revenue and margin expansion.
The price is about 40% below our fair value near $467, reflecting justified concerns. Analysts expect 13% revenue growth, slightly above recent 10% growth, but risks to AI monetization and cost structure weigh on sentiment.
