On June 18, Intuit fell 3.11% in regular trading, trading at $272.42/share, with turnover of $794 million. The stock continues its downtrend following Goldman Sachs's earlier downgrade from Neutral to Sell with a target price slashed from $519 to $276.
Goldman Sachs cited intensifying competition in the tax software space, decelerating growth in the Mailchimp business, and market skepticism over the company's medium-to-long-term guidance. The stock has now fallen below Goldman's $276 target, reflecting sustained selling pressure. Additional headwinds include a prior earnings report showing revenue slightly below expectations and the announcement of approximately 3,000 layoffs.
The broader Application Software sector is under significant pressure, with Adobe down 4.12%, AppLovin down 5.18%, Salesforce down 3.69%, and Palantir Technologies down 0.48%, while IREN Ltd rose 2.11%. The sector-wide weakness has compounded the company-specific overhang from the Goldman downgrade.
