Intuit (INTU) Stock Forecast & Price Target

Intuit has demonstrated significant platform expansion, with platform revenue now accounting for 77% of total revenue, reflecting a notable increase from 58% five years ago, and 87% when excluding Credit Karma. The company reported a year-over-year revenue growth of 18%, amounting to $3,885 million, driven by robust contributions from QuickBooks, payments, and payroll services. Furthermore, Intuit is effectively expanding its operating margins, achieving a 290 basis points increase in FY23, with expectations for future non-GAAP operating margins to exceed 40% and GAAP operating margins to surpass 30%.

Intuit faces several significant risks that contribute to a negative outlook on its stock, primarily due to its reliance on small business and consumer growth, rendering it sensitive to broader macroeconomic conditions. Additionally, execution risks related to the integration and performance of its recent acquisitions, particularly Credit Karma and MailChimp, present uncertainties that could hinder future profitability. Furthermore, potential simplifications in U.S. tax legislation and the competitive landscape from larger software vendors pose additional challenges that could impact Intuit’s market position and growth.
