Movement Alert|Intuit Rises 3.05% in Regular Trading, Defying Multiple Analyst Downgrades on SaaS Sector Rotation

Market Focus07-29

On July 29, Intuit rose 3.05% in regular trading, trading at $324.48/share, with turnover of $132 million. The stock extended its rally to a third consecutive day despite TD Cowen downgrading the stock to Hold and slashing its price target to $304 on the same day.

The downgrade follows Morgan Stanley's July 21 cut from Overweight to Equal Weight with a target reduction from $580 to $335, citing AI disruption risks to the TurboTax business and pressure on upcoming fiscal Q4 guidance. Despite the concentrated wave of downgrades, Intuit has climbed from $305.78 on July 27 to current levels, buoyed by a broader SaaS sector rotation as funds shifted from semiconductor stocks into software names. Morgan Stanley noted in a separate report that prior software sector declines were excessive, maintaining a positive sector outlook.

Within the Application Software sector, Adobe rose 3.68%, Salesforce.com gained 1.95%, while IREN Ltd fell 5.85% and Palantir Technologies declined 0.43%.
