Intuit (NASDAQ:INTU), a Nasdaq-listed company, closed at $325.15 on October 16, 2026 (Friday October 16, 2026). It is a member of the Nasdaq-100. The consensus analyst price target is $406.92, which suggests potential upside of about 25.1% from the latest close if the consensus proves accurate. Shares have attracted attention after a weak start to the fiscal year-ahead outlook and a steep fall from a 52-week high of $689.17.

What Is the Latest Analyst Price Target?

According to market data, 34 analysts cover the stock, with a mean target of $406.92, a median of $400, a high of $732 and a low of $290. Data date: October 12, 2026 (page last updated; ratings October 2026). The consensus rating is Buy. The range is wide, from a low of $290 to a high of $732, which shows how divided opinion is on the outlook. Recent individual actions include Morgan Stanley reiterating a Hold rating with a $315 target on October 12, 2026, Citi maintaining Buy with $416 on 7 October, RBC Capital maintaining Buy with $385 on 2 October, and BMO Capital maintaining Buy with $412 on 21 September. Goldman Sachs maintained a Sell rating with a $304 target on 24 September.

What Are Analysts Saying?

The rating split is 20 Buy (15 Strong Buy, 5 Buy), 12 Hold, 2 Sell (1 Sell, 1 Strong Sell). Sentiment is positive on balance, but with a sizeable cautious minority: 12 of the 34 analysts rate the shares Hold and two rate them Sell or Strong Sell. Truist has kept a Hold rating with a $300 target following the investor day, while RBC retained an Outperform rating. Those who are constructive tend to point to Intuit's scale in small-business and consumer finance software and its recent growth: fiscal 2026 revenue was $21.45 billion, up 13.9%, with earnings per share of $16.46, up 20.4%.

What Could Help the Stock Reach the Price Target?

If the consensus proves accurate, a recovery would probably need evidence that fiscal 2027, which management has described as a reset year, is a trough rather than the start of a longer slowdown. Delivery against guidance, successful integration of newly announced acquisitions such as Sequence (announced October 15, 2026) and continued traction in QuickBooks and its partnerships, including an extended NFL partnership through 2030, could support sentiment. The consensus target suggests there is room for recovery, but this depends on delivery and market conditions.

What Could Prevent the Stock Reaching the Target?

Guidance is the central risk. Intuit has guided fiscal 2027 earnings per share of $22.88 to $23.12 against a consensus of $24.18, and first-quarter EPS of $2.44 to $2.48 against a consensus of $2.72. Disappointing results, competition, or concerns about how artificial intelligence may affect software businesses could keep the shares below the consensus target. Note too that the dispersion of targets means the mean is heavily influenced by the highest estimates.

What Should Investors Watch Next?

The next earnings report is estimated for November 19, 2026, although that date is an estimate rather than a confirmed one. Management is also scheduled to meet Oppenheimer on 20 to October 22, 2026. Investors may also monitor further target revisions after the guidance reset. Intuit agreed to acquire Sequence, a revenue management company, on October 15, 2026.

A Gap That Demands Delivery

The consensus target of $406.92 implies about 25.1% above the $325.15 close on October 16, 2026, but analyst forecasts can change and are not guarantees of future performance.
