Earnings beat and AI partnership boost sentiment despite policy risk

Intuit recently reported Q2 2026 results, with revenue up 17% year-over-year to $4.65 billion and non-GAAP EPS rising 25% to $4.15, both beating estimates. The company declared a quarterly dividend of $1.20 per share, a 15% increase and its 14th consecutive annual raise, with payout scheduled for April 17, 2026. Intuit also announced a multiyear partnership with Anthropic to integrate AI for personalized financial experiences, maintained aggressive stock buybacks, and cited continued policy risk from proposed IRS “Direct File” legislation that could affect the TurboTax business.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, highlights that Intuit's price action shows a short-term bullish move above the MA-20, but the inability to reclaim the MA-50 or MA-200 signals persistent medium- and long-term bearishness. He notes ongoing policy risk from potential IRS 'Direct File' legislation, which threatens the TurboTax business model. Despite resilient earnings and dividend growth, Kharitonov warns that recurring buybacks and AI partnerships are not enough to offset structural headwinds. He remains critical of any strong bullish case at current levels. "Until Intuit closes above $519.74 or policy risks subside, this move looks like a temporary reprieve, not a sustainable reversal."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees a resilient company with strong fundamentals. He emphasizes that revenue and EPS growth have surpassed expectations, and the dividend increase demonstrates ongoing financial strength. The new partnership with Anthropic showcases Intuit's forward-thinking approach and broadens AI integration for future opportunities. Karapetjanc finds that the bullish structure remains intact above dynamic support levels. "With strategic initiatives and solid results, I see further growth potential for Intuit as market confidence rebuilds."

Momentum clash as price tests support below key resistance

INTU’s current price of $461.56 is above the MA-20 at $405.31 but remains below the MA-50 at $519.74 and well under the MA-200 at $657.10. This suggests short-term momentum is bullish while medium- and long-term trends still show seller pressure, with the Kijun line from the Ichimoku indicator at $455.29 offering nearby dynamic support and the MA-50 acting as the nearest resistance.

Previously it was reported that Intuit Inc. is trading above its short-term moving average and immediate Ichimoku support, but remains below longer-term moving averages, with technical indicators such as MACD, ADX, and RSI reflecting mixed-to-bearish momentum. The stock is expected to consolidate within a tight range between $445 and $480, with a low probability of a breakout and downside risks prevailing.
