The financial technology company expects fiscal 2027 revenue of $23.28 billion to $23.51 billion, representing growth of 9%-10%. Management is emphasizing its AI-driven expert platform, new-customer growth and larger strategic initiatives as it seeks to expand across QuickBooks, TurboTax, Credit Karma, Mailchimp and its other financial products. --- ### Key Points - Intuit reaffirmed fiscal 2027 revenue guidance of $23.28 billion to $23.51 billion, representing 9%-10% growth. - Global Business Solutions is expected to grow 13%-14% and Credit Karma 11%-13%, compared with 2%-3% for TurboTax and flat to slightly lower revenue for Mailchimp. - Beginning in fiscal 2027, Intuit includes share-based compensation in its non-GAAP results, creating an important accounting change when comparing adjusted earnings with prior periods. --- ## Intuit Keeps Its Fiscal 2027 Growth Plan Unchanged Investor Day did not bring a revision to Intuit's financial targets. For the first quarter, the company continues to expect revenue of $4.294 billion to $4.313 billion, an 11% increase. First-quarter GAAP diluted earnings per share remain projected at $1.71 to $1.75, while non-GAAP EPS is expected at $2.44 to $2.48\. GAAP operating income is projected at $716 million to $729 million, with non-GAAP operating income of $902 million to $915 million. For the full fiscal year, Intuit continues to expect $23.28 billion to $23.51 billion in revenue, up 9%-10%. GAAP operating income is projected at $7.41 billion to $7.49 billion, representing growth of 26%-27%, while GAAP diluted EPS is expected at $20.12 to $20.36, up 22%-24%. The reaffirmation follows a fiscal fourth quarter in which revenue increased about 14% year over year to $4.35 billion, above the $4.27 billion FactSet estimate. Adjusted EPS of $4.03 also exceeded the $3.58 consensus figure. ## Where Is Intuit Expecting Its Strongest Growth? The fiscal 2027 outlook shows a significant difference in expected growth across Intuit's businesses. Global Business Solutions remains the largest growth engine, with revenue projected at $13.07 billion to $13.16 billion, representing growth of 13%-14%. Credit Karma revenue is expected to increase 11%-13% to approximately $2.92 billion to $2.97 billion. That compares with considerably slower expected growth elsewhere. TurboTax revenue is projected to rise 2%-3%, while total Consumer revenue is expected to increase 4%-6%. ProTax is expected to grow 2%. Mailchimp is projected to generate $1.26 billion to $1.27 billion, representing a change of negative 1% to flat. Mailchimp also becomes a separate reportable segment beginning in fiscal 2027, providing greater visibility into its individual performance. Recent operating results illustrate why Global Business Solutions remains central to the company. In fiscal Q4, the segment's revenue increased 14% year over year to $3.4 billion. QuickBooks Online Accounting revenue grew 20%, total online payment volume including Bill Pay increased 32%, and QuickBooks Capital loan volume climbed 54% to $1.9 billion. Customer growth has been slower. Total online paying customers increased 3% for the full year, while U.S. TurboTax units declined 2% as price-sensitive do-it-yourself customers moved toward lower-cost providers. ## Why Does Intuit's New EPS Reporting Method Matter? One of the most important changes for investors analyzing INTU earnings is accounting-related rather than operational. Beginning with fiscal 2027, Intuit's non-GAAP financial measures no longer exclude share-based compensation expense. The company said including the recurring compensation expense better reflects its core operating results. For the full year, Intuit's non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance of $22.88 to $23.12 includes an estimated $5.81 per-share impact from share-based compensation. Non-GAAP operating income guidance of $8.06 billion to $8.15 billion similarly includes approximately $2.02 billion in share-based compensation expense. For the first quarter, the $2.44 to $2.48 non-GAAP EPS outlook includes an estimated $1.48 impact from share-based compensation, while non-GAAP operating income incorporates $521 million of the expense. That methodology differs from prior-year adjusted results, which excluded share-based compensation. As a result, direct comparisons between fiscal 2027 non-GAAP guidance and earlier adjusted earnings figures require the same accounting basis to provide a consistent comparison. --- ## What It Means for Investors Intuit's Investor Day leaves the company's near-term financial outlook largely where it stood following its August earnings report. The new information is not a change in guidance, but a reaffirmation of the operating plan alongside management's emphasis on customer acquisition, product development and its AI-driven expert platform. The segment outlook also provides a clearer picture of where Intuit expects growth to come from. Global Business Solutions and Credit Karma carry double-digit growth guidance, while TurboTax is expected to expand at a low-single-digit rate and Mailchimp is projected to be roughly flat. That distinction matters after a period of significant INTU stock volatility. Shares have fallen sharply over the past year and during 2026, although they recovered nearly 19% over the most recent three-month period cited in the content input. The stock was little changed following the Investor Day guidance reaffirmation. The revised treatment of share-based compensation is another important part of the financial picture. Because the expense is now included in non-GAAP results, headline adjusted EPS growth and comparisons with previous periods need to be viewed using a consistent reporting method. ## Conclusion Intuit used Investor Day to reinforce rather than reset its fiscal 2027 financial plan. The company continues to expect total revenue growth of 9%-10%, with Global Business Solutions and Credit Karma providing the strongest projected expansion. TurboTax is expected to grow more slowly, while Mailchimp revenue is projected to remain flat to slightly lower. At the same time, management is positioning customer acquisition and its AI-driven expert platform as central elements of its broader strategy. With guidance unchanged and INTU stock little changed following the announcement, the Investor Day provides continuity while sharpening the focus on the performance of Intuit's individual businesses and its revised earnings presentation. --- ## FAQs ### What guidance did Intuit reaffirm at Investor Day?
