Intuit Stock Falls 2.4% as Mizuho Cuts Price Target to $430
Intuit (NASDAQ: INTU) shares fell about 2.4% on Monday after Mizuho lowered its price target on the financial software company, adding pressure to the stock despite maintaining a positive rating.
Mizuho analyst Siti Panigrahi reduced the firm’s price target on Intuit to $430 from $500 while keeping an Outperform rating. With INTU trading around $337.26 in the rating report, the revised target still implies approximately 28% upside.
The price-target reduction likely reflects a more cautious assessment of Intuit’s near-term growth and valuation rather than a fundamental change in the analyst’s longer-term investment thesis. The maintained Outperform rating suggests Mizuho continues to see attractive upside potential despite lowering its expectations.
Intuit remains a major player in financial software through platforms including QuickBooks, TurboTax, Credit Karma and Mailchimp. The company has increasingly positioned artificial intelligence as a key part of its strategy, using AI-driven tools to automate accounting, tax preparation and financial decision-making for consumers and small businesses.
Monday’s 2.4% decline indicates investors are focusing on the sizable 14% reduction in Mizuho’s price target. However, the retained Outperform rating and $430 target suggest the brokerage remains constructive on Intuit’s longer-term prospects.
