Intuit’s Q2 financial results versus analysts’ estimates
Intuit said that its net income in the second quarter printed at £166.53 million on an adjusted basis, that translates to 48.19 pence per share. In the comparable quarter of last year, its adjusted net income stood at a higher £272.12 million, or 82 pence per share.
The business and financial software company saw a 7% annualised decline in its Q2 revenue to £1.12 billion versus the year-ago figure of £1.20 billion. In the prior quarter (Q1), Intuit had noted a more than 200% increase in its net income.
According to FactSet, experts had forecast the company to report £1.19 billion of revenue in the recent quarter. Their estimate for adjusted per-share earnings stood at a higher 60.94 pence per share.

Intuit’s guidance for the fiscal third quarter
For the fiscal third quarter, Intuit now forecasts its revenue to grow by up to 55%. The Mountain View-based firm expects its non-GAAP per-share diluted earnings to fall in the range of £4.78 to £4.85. According to CEO Sasan Goodarzi:
“We continue to see strong momentum and accelerating innovation across the company with our A.I. – driven expert platform strategy. Small Business and Sefl-Employed Group delivered double-digit revenue growth, and Credit Karma performed very well since we completed the acquisition in December. We are encouraged by our early results this tax season, and we are confident in our game plan to win.”
Intuit performed largely upbeat in the stock market last year with an annual gain of more than 40%. At the time of writing, it is valued at £77.51 billion and has a price to earnings ratio of 53.58.
