Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed May 20, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Intuit (INTU) reported fiscal Q3 2026 results (quarter ended April 30, 2026) that beat on growth and raised its full-year revenue guidance.
Total revenue rose 10% to $8.56 billiona, GAAP diluted EPS rose 11% to $11.09, and non-GAAP diluted EPS rose 10% to $12.80. Global Business Solutions grew 15% to $3.3 billion, with Online Ecosystem revenue up 19%, while Consumer grew 8% to $5.3 billion, led by TurboTax Live and Credit Karma. Management raised FY26 revenue growth to roughly 13-14% and non-GAAP EPS to $23.80-$23.85, though guidance for the June quarter and the Q4 GAAP figures reflects the restructuring charge.
The company also announced a restructuring plan to cut about 17% of its full-time workforce, close certain sites (including Reno and Woodland Hills), and wind down investment in Mailchimp. Management expects $300 million to $340 millionb in charges, mostly in the fiscal Q4 ending July 31, 2026, largely severance and benefits, with substantially all actions completed by October 31, 2026. The company also declared a quarterly dividend of $1.20 per share, up 15% year over year, payable July 17, 2026, and received board approval for a new $8 billion buyback authorization after repurchasing $1.6 billion of stock in the quarter.
For investors, the key questions are whether the restructuring delivers the promised margin expansion and whether growth at TurboTax (ProTax flat, TurboTax Online units expected to decline about 2%c) holds up against the strong Online Ecosystem and Credit Karma results. The filing's forward-looking risk factors, including the preliminary nature of the restructuring estimate and execution risk, warrant attention.
