These results are “supported by IRS data showing assisted tax volume’s accelerating growth (+1.7% vs. +0.6% in 2024), a category where Intuit is seeing product-market-fit and driving adoption as a price-disruptor,” he added.
“With assisted solutions now in their fifth year (~30% of Consumer), we expect solid execution driven by targeted campaigns showing healthy reception and pipeline conversion, better-integrated product portfolio, and AI-led investments enhancing platform engagement, all of which should prove conducive to Intuit’s market positioning in tax,” the analyst wrote.
DIY volume growth has been muted in the industry. However, it does not pose much risk for intuit, the analyst added. The company is gaining market share with refined promotion strategies, Rangan stated.
Beyond tax, Intuit’s broader software is witnessing citing stable demand from small and medium businesses, he added.
