On July 20, Intuit fell 3.54% in regular trading, trading at $281.29/share, with turnover of $82.91 million. The decline was triggered by Susquehanna cutting Intuit's price target from $550 to $427, a reduction of over 22%, while maintaining a positive rating.
The latest downgrade adds to a series of bearish analyst actions since June. Goldman Sachs downgraded Intuit from neutral to sell with a target price slashed from $519 to $276, citing concerns over tax software competition and slowing Mailchimp growth. Stifel subsequently downgraded the stock from buy to hold, lowering its target from $375 to $275. The FactSet consensus mean target price has now fallen to $458.86, reflecting sustained deterioration in market sentiment.
Intuit also faces a securities fraud investigation related to allegedly misleading statements about competitive positioning and growth prospects, following weak Q3 fiscal results in May that showed TurboTax revenue growth of only 7%, below market expectations. The stock has declined over 60% from its 52-week high of $813.70.
