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: Strong fundamentals & AI integration
Intuit’s Q2 FY2026 results exceeded expectations with 17% revenue and 25% non-GAAP EPS growth, reinforcing full-year guidance. Despite recent market apprehension surrounding AI disruption, analysts maintain a “Strong Buy” consensus, with a median price target of $600.00, implying substantial upside from current undervalued levels. The company’s strategic AI integration and strong segment performance, particularly in QuickBooks and Credit Karma, position it well within the evolving financial technology landscape, mitigating long-term AI disruption risks. Upcoming Q3 results will be key.

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.
