On June 18, Intuit fell 3.08% in regular trading, trading at $266.02/share, with turnover of $3.49 billion. The decline was primarily triggered by Stifel downgrading the stock from Buy to Hold, with the target price cut sharply from $375 to $275, representing a 26.7% reduction.

The Stifel downgrade adds to existing bearish pressure following Goldman Sachs previously cutting Intuit from Neutral to Sell with a target price slashed from $519 to $276. Goldman cited intensifying competition in the tax software segment, slowing growth in the Mailchimp business, and market skepticism regarding the companys medium-to-long-term guidance delivery. These headwinds are compounded by a recent earnings report showing revenue slightly below expectations and approximately 3,000 job cuts.

Despite the downgrades, FactSet consensus data shows the average analyst rating remains Overweight with a mean target price of $474.64, suggesting Stifel and Goldman represent the minority bearish view. The broader Application Software sector also traded lower, with Palantir Technologies down 3.28%, Strategy down 2.99%, Salesforce down 2.18%, and Adobe down 1.39%.
