Intuit's 140% Trading Volume Spike Boosts $4.19B in Activity, Ranks 17th as Stock Plummets 5% on Revised Outlook

On August 22, 2025, Intuit (INTU) saw a trading volume of $4.19 billion, a 140.73% increase from the previous day, ranking it 17th in the market. The stock closed down 5.03%, reflecting a significant decline despite strong quarterly results.

Intuit reported fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of $3.8 billion, a 20% year-over-year increase, and adjusted EPS of $2.75, both exceeding analyst estimates. However, the stock fell sharply after the company issued a weaker-than-expected revenue forecast for fiscal 2026, projecting growth of 12% to 13% to nearly $21 billion. Management cited slower growth in its Mailchimp marketing platform and TurboTax service as key factors behind the revised outlook.

The company’s AI-driven platform and subsidiaries like Credit Karma showed resilience, with Credit Karma’s revenue rising 34%. Intuit also announced a 15% increase in its quarterly dividend and a $3.2 billion share repurchase program, raising total buyback capacity to $5.3 billion. Despite these measures, investors focused on the subdued guidance, leading to the steep price drop.

A backtested strategy of purchasing the top 500 high-volume stocks and holding them for one day from 2022 yielded a CAGR of 6.98% with a maximum drawdown of 15.46%. While the approach showed steady growth, a significant decline in mid-2023 underscored the need for risk management in high-volume trading strategies.
