Intuit (INTU) Following Downgrades And AI Pressure Is This Reset A Buying Opportunity

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Why recent downgrades put Intuit (INTU) back in focus

Intuit (INTU) is back under the microscope after JPMorgan and Bank of America cut their ratings, citing weaker forward guidance as generative AI competition pressures TurboTax and Mailchimp.

The company is preparing for a slower revenue growth outlook for fiscal 2027 and a year of heavier investment to rebuild its customer pipeline. Concerns around Mailchimp’s integration, its performance, and declines in desktop products are contributing to a more cautious tone.

Intuit’s share price has been volatile, with a 30 day share price return of 13.29% and a 90 day share price return of 11.15%. However, the stock is still down 43.12% on a year to date basis, and the 1 year total shareholder return has fallen 45.71%, which signals that recent momentum has not offset the hit to sentiment from guidance, lawsuits and insider selling.
