  • Intuit (INTU) Shares Down 40%: Undervalued or Risky Ahead?
    May 19, 2026, 10:18 PM EDT. Intuit Inc. (INTU) shares have slid 36.5% year-to-date and 40% over the past 12 months, testing investor patience amid concerns over competition in its tax and small business software segments. The stock's recent upticks of 3.1% last week and 1.6% over the past month provide limited relief. A Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis estimates Intuit's intrinsic value at roughly $786.55 per share, nearly double the current price of around $399.71, suggesting it is undervalued by 49.2%. However, reassessment hinges on balancing this valuation gap against ongoing competitive pressures and execution risks in core products like TurboTax and QuickBooks. Investors must consider whether the potential upside justifies exposure given Intuit's performance lag behind peers and uncertain growth outlook.
