The transaction comes as Intuit trades near its 52-week high of $773.45, with the stock showing impressive momentum and maintaining a market capitalization of $212.6 billion.

In other recent news, Intuit has reported a strong fiscal third-quarter performance, with total revenue reaching $7.8 billion, a 15% increase year-over-year, surpassing the expected $7.56 billion. Earnings per share also exceeded forecasts, coming in at $11.65 compared to the anticipated $10.93. Following these results, Evercore ISI raised its price target for Intuit to $785, maintaining an Outperform rating. Stifel analysts have reiterated their Buy rating with an $850 price target, emphasizing Intuit’s strategic pricing initiatives and potential revenue growth from price hikes in QuickBooks products.

Mizuho (NYSE:MFG) Securities also expressed confidence in Intuit, raising its price target to $875 and maintaining an Outperform rating, driven by positive projections for Intuit’s QuickBooks segment. Mizuho anticipates a compound annual growth rate of 22% for Intuit’s online ecosystem revenue from fiscal year 2026 to 2028. This optimism is partly due to Intuit’s pricing strategies and the potential monetization of AI technologies. Meanwhile, Stifel analysts highlighted Intuit’s ability to sustain low-teens revenue growth in the near term, despite challenges faced by MailChimp.

The analysts noted that Intuit’s core growth drivers, such as payment volume and pricing, along with new initiatives like integrating Credit Karma with TurboTax, are expected to mitigate any headwinds. Intuit’s management remains confident in their pricing strategy, which has shown low customer turnover following previous price increases. These developments suggest that Intuit’s customer base continues to see value in its services, despite rising costs.
