NEW YORK, July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Levi & Korsinsky, LLP tracks Wall Street analyst opinion on Intuit Inc.

INTU shares fell $76.86 per share, a 20.02% single-day decline, closing at $307.07 on May 21, 2026, after the Company cut its full-year TurboTax revenue growth guidance to 7% from 8% and disclosed weak tax season results. The lead plaintiff deadline is September 8, 2026.
Initial Analyst Optimism
For much of the Class Period, coverage indicated confidence in Intuit's tax-related business and its AI-driven growth narrative. Sell-side price targets sat well above where shares would eventually land, with certain price targets reaching the $600.00 range as management reaffirmed 8% TurboTax growth.
The Downgrades Begin
After the May 20, 2026 disclosures, analysts reassessed Intuit's growth outlook, with several sell-side firms lowering price targets and revising expectations following the Company's weaker-than-expected TurboTax performance and lowered growth expectations.
Analyst Coverage Timeline
- Susquehanna lowered its price target to $550.00 from $640.00, noting that while high-end assisted tax "looked great, the low-end fell apart" and could be sourced to a specific competitor.
- KeyBanc Capital Markets reduced its target to $450.00 from $520.00, citing "TurboTax DIY headwinds and a pricing evolution across TurboTax."
- RBC Capital Markets cut its target to $500.00 from $600.00, noting "TurboTax disappoints" and revised FY26 guidance of roughly 7% versus a prior 8%.
- Truist Securities lowered its target to $410.00 from $500.00, citing weakness in price-sensitive DIY filers earning under $50,000 and an unexpected 30 basis point contraction in IRS filers.
- At least one analyst pointed to "renewed fears around AI automation displacing tax software" as a driver of the after-hours decline.
Why Analyst Shifts Matter for Investors
When coverage repriced INTU downward, it reflected a rapid gap between prior expectations and the results the Company ultimately reported. The complaint alleges that this market reassessment followed the disclosure of adverse business trends that charges that investors were allegedly not informed of during the Class Period.
"When analyst expectations are based on incomplete or misleading company disclosures, the resulting corrections can cause significant investor harm. The resulting price target reductions reflected a significant shift in Wall Street's view of Intuit's TurboTax business following the Company's reduced guidance." -- Joseph E. Levi, Esq.
