- From High Dividend Growth to High Yield, These 3 Stocks Just Boosted Dividend Payouts
IntuitNASDAQ: INTU is prioritizing growth in new-to-the-franchise customers while continuing to scale its larger “big bets,” Chief Financial Officer Sandeep Singh Aujla said at the Goldman Sachs Technology Conference.
Aujla said the company’s major strategic initiatives—including moving upmarket in QuickBooks, expanding fintech offerings and growing beyond do-it-yourself tax into assisted tax—have each grown more than 30% and now represent nearly 30% of company revenue. However, he said Intuit concluded it needed to improve its performance in acquiring new customers.
“As a company that is north of $21 billion in revenue, we need to be exceptional at both,” Aujla said, referring to scaling major growth initiatives and attracting new customers. He described the addressable opportunity as $300 billion and said Intuit remains in the “early innings.”
Long-term growth investments and the “J curve”
Aujla said Intuit’s fiscal 2027 strategy includes investing in customer acquisition even when those investments pressure near-term revenue per customer. He characterized the approach as a “J curve,” in which initial revenue effects are followed by higher customer lifetime value over time.
In tax, Intuit is seeking to be more competitive and transparent on pricing for consumers with adjusted gross income of about $50,000, a group Aujla said is price-sensitive and where the company lost market share. The company aims to monetize those customers beyond tax filing through offerings such as faster refund access, Credit Karma Money, credit cards, personal loans and insurance.
“In 2027, the revenue takes a hit, but in the long term, the lifetime value is there,” Aujla said.
On the small-business side, Intuit is broadening its entry points with QuickBooks Lite and QuickBooks Free. The products are intended to bring entrepreneurs onto the QuickBooks platform earlier, before their businesses reach the complexity level that traditionally leads them to adopt accounting software. Aujla said customers can later move into higher-tier products on the same platform as their needs expand.
