What happened

Intuit (INTU) stock fell roughly 52% in 2026 to around $318 by Thursday, as AI disruption fears forced the company to slash its long-term growth targets. CEO Sasan Goodarzi hosted the annual Investor Day in Mountain View, reaffirming fiscal 2027 revenue guidance of $23.3–$23.5 billion — a 9–10% growth rate, down from fiscal 2026’s 14% — and presenting an AI-native financial platform strategy as the path back to growth. Goodarzi pitched a “done-for-you” AI experience combining automated software agents with human experts; more than 75% of Intuit Enterprise Suite customers already use AI agents monthly for bookkeeping tasks. The company is also cutting TurboTax prices to recapture customers lost to cheaper AI alternatives.

Why it matters

Intuit is the worst-performing large-cap enterprise software stock of 2026, making today’s investor day a pivotal test of whether the AI pivot can reverse a historic derating. The stock’s forward P/E — how expensive shares are relative to expected profits — has collapsed to about 13 times, well below its 30–40x historical average, as investors stopped paying a growth premium. If the AI platform wins back analyst confidence, that gap could close fast; if not, shares could stay cheap even as the business earns nearly $9 billion in annual operating profit.
