Factors to Note
Intuit’s fiscal third-quarter performance is expected to have benefited from steady recovery in the Small Business and Self-Employed segment.
An expanding subscriber base for Quickbooks Online and ARPC is expected to have driven solid growth in the Online Ecosystem. Intuit announced new product innovations to better serve the accounting community and small business customers through its QuickBooks online ecosystem in the to-be-reported quarter.
In the fiscal third quarter, Intuit announced the launch of QuickBooks Solopreneur, a new product designed to meet the unique needs of one-person businesses. The comprehensive tool provides a number of easy-to-use features to help solopreneurs stay in control of their finances, create trackable goals, manage business expenses to stay tax-ready and have the confidence to drive financial stability, all in one place.
The solid momentum of INTU’s leading product, QuickBooks Capital, and improving customer retention rates are anticipated to have acted as tailwinds in the quarter under review.
However, due to the ongoing macroeconomic volatility, Intuit’s business partners have been pulling back from extending their credit, risking credit performance deterioration in the near term.
This is expected to have led to modest growth in Credit Karma revenues in the quarter to be reported. The Credit Karma business contributed $375 million to Intuit’s fiscal second-quarter total revenues, which remained flat year over year due to growth in Credit Karma Money, credit cards and auto loans, offset by a decline in home loans, personal loans and auto insurance.

It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
