Intuit Stock Pulls Back to Support – Smart Entry?
Intuit (INTU) stock should be on your watchlist. Here is why – it is currently trading in the support zone ($520.31 – $575.07), levels from which it has bounced meaningfully before.

| Peak Return | Days to Peak Return | |
|---|---|---|
| 7/21/2021 | 12.3% | 65 |
| 10/4/2021 | 32.4% | 56 |

Yet, a support zone alone isn’t enough; rebounds are more likely when fundamentals, sentiment, and market conditions line up. How does that look for INTU?
Rebound likely from current support levels.
Intuit is positioned near its 52-week low with an RSI suggesting oversold conditions. Despite recent analyst downgrades and challenging year-over-year comparisons for 2026, Q1 FY26 revenue grew 18%, and fiscal 2026 guidance projects 12-13% revenue expansion. Strong operating margins and QuickBooks pricing power underpin fundamentals. Analyst consensus targets a significant 45%+ upside. AI integration efforts and the imminent tax season offer catalysts for price recovery, while DCF models indicate undervaluation.

It plunged 72% in the Dot-Com bubble, took a 49% hit during the inflation shock, and dropped about 38% in both the Global Financial Crisis and the Covid pandemic. Even smaller market hiccups, like the 2018 correction, caused a 20%+ dip. The stock has solid fundamentals, but history shows sharp declines can still happen when trouble hits.
