Intuit Inc. shares ended the final trading session of 2025 lower, as a regulatory filing showed director and co-founder Scott Cook sold about $50 million worth of stock under a pre-arranged plan. Intuit Inc.+1

U.S. stock markets are closed on Thursday for New Year’s Day, leaving investors to take cues from Wednesday’s close and fresh filings. Nasdaq

The disclosure matters now because money managers typically reset positions at the turn of the year, and Intuit is heading into the heart of U.S. tax season, when demand for TurboTax can move expectations quickly. Reuters

Insider transactions also attract attention after a pullback: Intuit finished Wednesday about 18.6% below its 52-week high set in late July, according to market data. MarketWatch

Intuit last closed at $662.42, down about 1.1% on Wednesday, on a session when the broader market fell as well. The S&P 500 lost 0.74% and the Dow fell 0.63%, MarketWatch data showed. MarketWatch

A Form 4 filing — a U.S. disclosure insiders use to report stock trades — showed Cook sold 75,000 shares on Dec. 30 at weighted average prices ranging from about $669 to $674. Based on the prices listed in the filing, the transactions totaled about $50.4 million. Intuit Inc.

The filing said the sales were executed through a family trust under a Rule 10b5-1 plan adopted on Sept. 3. Such plans are set up in advance to schedule trades and reduce the appearance of trading on non-public information. Intuit Inc.

After the reported sales, Cook beneficially owned about 5.67 million shares indirectly through the trust, the filing showed. Intuit Inc.

Intuit sells tax-preparation software TurboTax, personal-finance and credit products through Credit Karma, and small-business accounting tools including QuickBooks. Reuters

Investors’ next fundamental read is likely to come with Intuit’s results for the quarter ending Jan. 31. In its last update, the company forecast second-quarter revenue growth of about 14% to 15% and reiterated its full-year outlook, with finance chief Sandeep Aujla saying the company was “confident” in delivering double-digit revenue growth. Reuters+1

On the chart, Intuit is hovering near its 50-day moving average around $661, while sitting below the 200-day moving average near $682, according to Barchart calculations — levels traders often treat as near-term support or resistance. Barchart

Before the next session, markets reopen on Friday, Jan. 2 after the holiday closure. Traders will also watch early-January U.S. data that can swing rate expectations and high-multiple software stocks, including the ISM manufacturing report due Monday, Jan. 5. Nasdaq+1

The U.S. employment report for December 2025 is scheduled for Friday, Jan. 9, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, another potential catalyst for Treasury yields and growth-stock sentiment. Bureau of Labor Statistics

For Intuit specifically, market calendars currently peg the next earnings release around late February, with some estimating Feb. 24, though the company has not announced a date. Investors will be looking for tax-season trends, small-business customer retention, and any update on margin targets. Zacks+1

  • Nvidia stock forecast 2026: China's H200 rush tests NVDA earnings
    January 1, 2026, 6:33 PM EST. Nvidia's 2026 outlook hinges on China demand for its H200 GPUs and the pace of supply. Chinese buyers ordered more than 2 million H200 units for 2026, well above Nvidia's current stock. Nvidia has asked TSMC to ramp output beginning in Q2 2026, while Beijing has yet to approve H200 imports. Analysts say 2026 AI capex and data-center spending will drive earnings, with markets hinging on whether companies sustain their investment plans. ByteDance plans about 100 billion yuan in Nvidia chips in 2026 if H200 sales are allowed in China, a potential lift to demand but a source of policy risk. The backdrop includes a tougher valuation environment after Nvidia's 2025 surge and a focus on profit delivery.
