This may improve transparency around the company’s different growth engines but does not by itself change financial performance. Mailchimp Becomes a Separate Operating Segment
  • Negative Sentiment: TurboTax underperformance and competitive pricing pressure remain the primary concerns. Fiscal 2027 revenue growth is expected at only 9% to 10%, with TurboTax growth projected at 2% to 3%; near-term revenue guidance also trailed analyst estimates.

  • Negative Sentiment: Several firms lowered their ratings or price targets, including downgrades from Bank of America, JPMorgan and Wolfe Research and target reductions from Oppenheimer and Truist. The analyst actions reflect concern that the slower-growth outlook warrants a lower valuation.
