Intuit Inc. stock (ISIN US4612021039) closed at USD 313.13 on Nasdaq on September 17, 2026, leaving the tax and financial software group valued at a steep discount to many analyst price targets after its latest Investor Day reset growth expectations and fiscal 2027 guidance.
Investor Day guidance resets growth profile
As Seeking Alpha reported on September 17, 2026, Intuit used its Investor Day to reaffirm first-quarter fiscal 2027 guidance, projecting total revenue between USD 4,294 million and USD 4,313 million for the quarter, which represents expected growth of 11 percent versus the prior year period.
According to Seeking Alpha, the company forecast full-year fiscal 2027 diluted earnings per share of USD 22.88 to USD 23.12 on a non-GAAP basis, implying EPS growth of 22 to 24 percent compared with fiscal 2026.
Full-year revenue outlook and AI-driven strategy
On the revenue side, Intuit expects total fiscal 2027 revenue to reach between USD 23.27 billion and USD 23.51 billion, according to Seeking Alpha, which corresponds to anticipated growth of around 9 to 10 percent compared with the prior fiscal year revenue base.
As GuruFocus highlighted on September 17, 2026, the company expects non-GAAP earnings per share to grow between 23 and 24 percent for the full year and between 30 and 33 percent in the first quarter, underscoring management’s confidence that its AI-driven product strategy can convert more customers while expanding margins.
Analysts react with divergent price targets
Investors received a mixed message from the sell-side community following the Investor Day, with several analyst houses adjusting their views. According to Investing.com on September 18, 2026, Evercore ISI reiterated its Outperform rating on Intuit Inc. stock and maintained a USD 400.00 price target, framing the new guidance as a tax strategy shift rather than a structural deterioration.
In contrast, Freedom Broker and Truist Securities lowered their price targets to USD 370 and USD 300 respectively, according to Investing.com, citing muted fiscal 2027 guidance and a more cautious long-term growth outlook.
As the same Investing.com report noted, Piper Sandler raised its price target to USD 290, pointing to higher free cash flow margins, while Mizuho maintained an Outperform rating and described the fiscal 2027 guidance as a strategic reset rather than a permanent slowdown.
Valuation gap versus intrinsic value estimates
Despite the guidance reset, several valuation models still see substantial upside. On September 17, 2026, GuruFocus estimated Intuit’s intrinsic value at USD 825.49 per share under its GF Value framework, which it calculated as 61.9 percent above the then current market price of USD 314.66, implying a wide gap between perceived fundamental value and the stock’s trading level.
The same GuruFocus analysis pointed out that Intuit’s trailing price-earnings ratio stood at 19.07 times earnings, significantly below its five-year median multiple of 58.65 times, and that the shares offered a dividend yield of about 1.54 percent supported by a payout ratio of roughly 20 percent and a three-year dividend growth rate of 15.4 percent.
Stock performance and market reaction
In the market, Intuit Inc. stock closed at USD 313.13 on Nasdaq on September 17, 2026, down 1.57 percent versus the prior close according to the analyst overview on Yahoo Finance, with an after-hours indication around USD 313.97 later that evening.
Per Pomegra on September 17, 2026, Intuit stock has fallen approximately 52 percent year-to-date in 2026, dropping from around USD 650 at the start of the year to near USD 318 by mid-September, a move that underlines how AI disruption fears and the company’s decision to cut long-term growth targets have weighed heavily on investor sentiment.
Price level relative to 52-week range
Based on recent Nasdaq data cited in an earlier overview of the shares, Intuit Inc. stock last closed at USD 318.13 on September 16, 2026, with indications suggesting trading markedly below a 52-week high of USD 705.08 but still above a 52-week low of USD 252.84, placing the current price roughly mid-range yet far from the peak levels attained earlier in the cycle.
