Shares of Intuit Inc (NASDAQ:INTU) are down 6.4% to trade at $653.16, despite the California-based fintech company topping earnings estimates, reporting fiscal fourth-quarter earnings of $2.75 per share on $3.83 billion in revenue.

Intuit Inc (NASDAQ:INTU, ETR:ITU) delivered better-than-expected results for the fiscal fourth quarter, but shares of the company fell more than 6% in early trade as revenue guidance fell short of estimates. The TurboTax and Mailchimp maker projected first quarter revenue growth of 14% to 15%, below expectations of 16.1%.
Intuit (INTU) shares tumbled 7% in premarket trading Friday, a day after the maker of tax and accounting software gave weaker-than-anticipated guidance on soft demand for its MailChimp marketing platform and TurboTax tax filing program.
On the surface, Intuit's Q4 2025 earnings were solid and were no excuse for a notable share price drop. Potential issues with Mailchimp's growth and a notable deceleration of expected earnings growth are behind the initial share price response. Going forward, Intuit's stock is likely to stabilize, but I remain sceptical of the stock's ability to sustainably outperform the market.
