Intuit's Plunge Offers A Buying Opportunity (NASDAQ:INTU)

Intuit (INTU) reported Q4 earnings beating revenue and adjusted EPS estimates, but shares fell 10.2% due to slower FY2027 growth guidance. Core segments like QuickBooks and Credit Karma grew, while TurboTax and Credit Karma decelerated. Management expects 20.6% EPS growth for FY2027. An analyst views the drop as an overreaction and reaffirms a 'buy' rating.
