Shares of Intuit (INTU) tumbled 7.50% in pre-market trading on Friday following the company's fourth-quarter earnings report and disappointing first-quarter revenue growth forecast. Despite beating expectations for the fourth quarter, investors focused on the company's cautious outlook for the upcoming quarter and ongoing challenges with its Mailchimp marketing platform.

Intuit reported strong fourth-quarter results, with adjusted earnings per share of $2.75, surpassing analysts' estimates of $2.66. Revenue for the quarter came in at $3.83 billion, also beating the expected $3.75 billion. However, the company's forecast for first-quarter revenue growth of 14% to 15% fell short of Wall Street's expectations of 16.1% growth, triggering the sell-off.

The weaker-than-expected guidance for Q1 appears to be primarily driven by challenges in Intuit's Mailchimp marketing platform, which is part of its Global Business Services segment. CFO Sandeep Aujla acknowledged these issues, stating, "The one area that we call out, which is a near term temperament to growth, is Mailchimp, but we have plans to make sure that scores correctly, and that's exiting the year at good pace." Despite these near-term headwinds, Intuit provided a full-year fiscal 2026 outlook that was largely in line with analyst expectations, projecting revenue between $21 billion and $21.19 billion.

In response to the earnings report, several analysts lowered their price targets on Intuit stock. Barclays cut its target to $785 from $815, while JPMorgan reduced its target to $750 from $770. The stock's sharp decline reflects investor concerns about the company's near-term growth prospects and the ongoing challenges with its Mailchimp platform.
