Why is Intuit stock tumbling today?

Intuit (INTU) stock fell 11.8% pre-market to $315.30 after its fiscal 2027 outlook missed expectations, despite a strong Q4 earnings beat. The company projected slower revenue growth (9-10%) and lower EPS guidance, citing deceleration in TurboTax revenue and Mailchimp weakness. Analysts maintained mixed views on the stock. The decline is company-specific, with INTU trading far below its 52-week high of $705.08.
