On June 4, Intuit fell 3.08% in regular trading, trading at $301.37/share, with trading volume of $1.349 billion, extending its multi-day decline.
On the news front, the stock continues to be weighed down by Goldman Sachs' recent downgrade from neutral to sell, with a target price slashed from $519 to $276. The investment bank's research report cited intensifying competition in the tax software space, slowing growth momentum in the company's Mailchimp business, and doubts over management's ability to deliver on medium-to-long-term earnings guidance. Goldman Sachs believes the current valuation has not fully priced in these industry headwinds.
Notably, Goldman Sachs' bearish stance significantly diverges from market consensus, as mainstream sell-side analysts still largely maintain buy ratings with a mean target price of $491.76. Intuit has stated that AI-related competitors have not yet eroded its existing market share. However, combined with a prior quarter revenue miss and the announcement of approximately 3,000 job cuts, the stock has cumulatively retreated 46% year-to-date, sharply underperforming the S&P 500's 11% gain over the same period.
