Intuit (INTU) to Report Q4 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Intuit Inc. (INTU - Free Report) is scheduled to release fourth-quarter fiscal 2020 results on Aug 25.
The company had not issued any guidance for the fiscal fourth quarter. Markedly, on May 7, management withdrew the guidance for fiscal 2020, citing uncertainties related to the coronavirus pandemic’s impact on small businesses.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for quarterly revenues is pinned at $1.55 billion, calling for a 55.8% year-over-year increase. The consensus mark for earnings is pegged at $1.20 per share, suggesting a significant improvement from the year-ago quarter’s loss per share of 9 cents.
Intuit’s earnings beat estimates in each of the trailing four quarters, the average beat being 26.9%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.
Factors at Play
Intuit’s fiscal fourth-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from the postponement of tax filing from the third quarter to the fourth. Notably, on Mar 21, the U.S. Internal Revenue Services extended the tax filing deadline to Jul 15 from Apr 15, in an effort to provide relief to businesses and individuals in response to the pandemic.
As a result, the company is expected to report a robust jump in Consumer segment revenues. The Zacks Consensus Estimate of $599 million for the Consumer division revenues calls for a substantial improvement from the year-ago quarter figure of just $74 million.
Furthermore, Intuit’s fiscal fourth-quarter earnings are likely to have been driven by solid growth in the Online Ecosystem, aided by an expanding subscriber base for Quickbooks Online. The Zacks Consensus Estimate of $506 million for revenues from Online Ecosystem suggests a 12.2% increase from the year-ago quarter.
Additionally, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for Quickbooks Online’s revenues is pegged at $310 million for the fiscal fourth quarter, indicating a 14% rise, year on year.
