Intuit Inc. (INTU) reports first-quarter earnings after Thursday's closing bell, and Wall Street's watching closely. The company behind TurboTax, QuickBooks, Credit Karma, and Mailchimp is expected to show solid growth, but analysts have been busy adjusting their forecasts ahead of the report.

The consensus among analysts calls for earnings of $3.09 per share, a healthy jump from $2.50 per share in the same quarter last year. Revenue is projected to hit $3.76 billion, up from $3.28 billion a year earlier. Not bad for a company that basically helps Americans file taxes and manage their finances.

Back on September 18, Intuit reaffirmed its outlook for both the first quarter and full fiscal year 2026 during its Investor Day event at the company's Mountain View, California headquarters. That vote of confidence seemed to steady the ship, with shares closing Wednesday at $650.62, up a modest 0.1%.

Here's what the analysts with the best track records have been saying recently about Intuit:

Kirk Materne from Evercore ISI Group remains the most optimistic, reiterating an Outperform rating with an $875 price target on November 18. His accuracy rate sits at 69%, and he's clearly betting on continued upside.

Morgan Stanley's Keith Weiss, who boasts a 74% accuracy rate, maintained his Overweight rating but trimmed his price target from $900 to $880 back on August 22. Still bullish, just slightly less so.

Citigroup analyst Steven Enders kept his Buy rating while cutting his target from $815 to $803 on the same August date. With a 68% accuracy rate, he's still in the believers' camp despite the small haircut.

Brad Sills at B of A Securities, working with a 67% accuracy rate, also maintained his Buy rating but reduced his price target from $875 to $800 on August 22.

Finally, JP Morgan's Mark Murphy, sporting a 72% accuracy rate, held onto his Overweight rating while lowering his target from $770 to $750, also on August 22.

Notice a pattern? August 22 was apparently price-target-adjustment day across Wall Street, though nobody abandoned their bullish stance. That suggests analysts still like the story here, they're just being a bit more realistic about near-term expectations. Thursday's earnings report will tell us whether that caution was warranted or if Intuit can exceed the Street's expectations.
