Buy the Spike in Intuit (INTU) Stock After Earnings?
Spiking +8% today, Intuit
INTU stock made headlines after comfortably exceeding expectations for its fiscal third quarter after-market hours on Thursday.
Sitting on gains of +15% year to date, Intuit stock has outperformed the broader market and many of its notable Zacks Computer-Software peers, including Microsoft
MSFT and Salesforce
CRM.
Not too far from its 52-week high of $734 a share, investors are surely wondering if there is more upside in store for the financial software giant's stock, with generative AI starting to enhance Intuit's accounting and tax preparation services.
Intuit's Q3 Results
Thanks to its AI-driven solutions, Intuit's Q3 sales of $7.75 billion eclipsed estimates of $7.54 billion and spiked from $6.73 billion a year ago. CEO Sasan Goodarzi stated Intuit is becoming a one-stop shop for AI agents and AI-enabled human experts. Notably, Intuit Assist offers a generative AI-powered financial assistant that helps users with tax filing, business insights, and financial decision-making.
On the bottom line, Intuit's Q3 EPS of $11.65 rose 18% from $9.88 in the comparative quarter and topped expectations of $10.89 per share by nearly 7%. More intriguing, Intuit has now surpassed the Zacks EPS Consensus for 13 consecutive quarters with an average earnings surprise of 12.15% in its last four quarterly reports.
Intuit's Revenue Guidance
Serving as a further catalyst to Friday's rally was that Intuit raised its full-year revenue guidance and now expects fiscal 2025 sales to be between $18.72 billion-18.76 billion, up from previous estimates of $18.16 billion-$18.35 billion. This came in above Zacks' estimates of $18.28 billion or 12% growth (Current Year below). Zacks' projections currently call for Intuit's total sales to increase another 12% in FY26 to $20.48 billion.

Monitoring Intuit's P/E Valuation
Following its post-earnings rally, Intuit stock is trading at a 34.5X forward earnings multiple, which is on par with Microsoft but a premium to its industry average of 27.3X, with Salesforce at 25.5X. However, INTU does trade well below its decade-long high of 87.2X forward earnings and offers a 23% discount to its median of 44.9X during this period.
Bottom Line
For now, Intuit stock lands a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) following its favorable Q3 report. That said, it wouldn't be surprising if a buy rating is on the way as earnings estimate revisions could trend higher in the coming weeks, considering Intuit's elevated revenue guidance.

Co-founded in 2005 by Thad West (CEO), Sonny Coccera (former COO), and Danny Riley (Senior Vice President of Sales Strategy & Operations), Isos was born out of a passion for solving complex technology challenges with heart and humanity. Early adopters of Jira and Confluence to manage their own software development processes, the team quickly drew attention for how effectively they optimized Atlassian tools—and a consultancy was born. In December 2022, Isos Technology became a portfolio company of The Acacia Group, a move that reinforced its growth trajectory while keeping its original founders at the helm. Since then, Isos has significantly expanded its Atlassian capabilities through the acquisitions of MajorKey Technologies' Atlassian practice, HyperVelocity Consulting, and Stack Intelligence's Atlassian practice. These strategic additions have positioned Isos as one of the largest Atlassian Platinum Solution Partners in the world, further strengthening its role as a leader in delivering transformative service management, cloud, and strategic enterprise solutions across commercial and federal sectors.

Isos has also been recognized by premier Atlassian Marketplace partners. Appfire has named Isos a 'Red Hot Partner' several years in a row, and in 2025, Tempo Software named Isos their Public Sector Leader Partner of the Year. 'Twenty years is an incredible accomplishment,' said Thad West, CEO of Isos Technology. 'But it's not just about how long we've been here—it's about how much we've helped organizations grow, transform, and thrive. We owe our success to our dedicated team, our collaborative clients, and the strong partnerships we've built along the way.' To support its continued momentum into the next chapter, Isos recently expanded its leadership team, welcoming Ron Thompson as Chief Revenue Officer and John Clinton as Chief Financial Officer. Their arrival underscores the company's commitment to strategic growth without compromising on the personalized, high-quality client service and flexible, inclusive culture that define Isos. As Isos looks toward the future, its mission remains the same: to help organizations become the best version of themselves through smarter tools, efficient business practices, and empowered people.
