Intuit Inc. (INTU): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Ticker symbol INTU · Technology · Software - Application · United States · Growth Quality
Is INTU undervalued?
At 356.64 (close of 5 Nov 2026), INTU trades 12% under the GLS average fair value of 406.72. 4 of the 9 models that produced a value land above the price. A discount of this size counts as a positive margin of safety in every GLS scan; whether it is enough depends on the rest of the picture - the health score, the moat and the option premium below.
The 9 models disagree widely: DDM gives 73.28 while Payback Time gives 980.82. A spread that wide means the average is sensitive to which methods you trust; the model table below shows where each one lands, and the Quote page lets you switch any of them off.
Ranked against every other company we cover, INTU is clearly faster-growing than it is cheap, so the nightly engine files it under Growth (value score 32, growth score 65, out of 100). It also carries the Quality tag (Quality = moat 7.5+ out of 10 and Piotroski 7+).
Nine valuation models for INTU
Each model turns the latest filed numbers into a value per share; the GLS fair value is the simple average of the ones that produce a positive number. The last two rows are shown for reference and never enter the average. The Quote page lets you switch any model off and add your own margin of safety.
| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 582.21 | +63% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 162.40 | -54% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 350.86 | -2% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 108.07 | -70% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 471.11 | +32% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 745.17 | +109% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 980.82 | +175% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 73.28 | -79% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 186.52 | -48% | Earnings power value: current EPS capitalised at 9% with no growth |
| Zombie (liquidation) | -9.29 | -103% | Current assets less all liabilities, per share: the balance-sheet floor. Not in the average |
| Wall St target | 379.68 | +6% | Analysts' average 12-month price target. Not in the average |
Quality and financial health
On financial health INTU scores 7/9 (Piotroski): most of the nine tests - positive earnings and cash flow, falling debt, rising margins and turnover - are passed, which is the kind of balance sheet a wheel trader is happy to be assigned. The GLS Moat score is 8.9 out of 10 - high returns on capital, steady margins and growth that held up through bad years point to a durable business.
Returns on capital are high - ROIC 16.7%, ROE 24.0%, ROA 12.4% - with debt at 0.44 times equity and a free-cash-flow yield of 9.0%.
The dividend yield is 1.40% with a payout ratio of 30% - a small yield that leaves most of the earnings in the business. Revenue comes mainly from Global Business Solutions 79%, Consumer 21% (quarter Q4 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 4/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded Congressional buy was on 31 Aug 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 16.7% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 8.9 / 10 | ROE | 24.0% |
| Debt / equity | 0.44 | ROA | 12.4% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 9.0% | Payout ratio | 30% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 4 / 10 |
Wheel Score 85: Prime
INTU scores 85 out of 100 on the Wheel Score, in the Prime band (85 and above): it passes all 9 Wheel Trade Filters and ranks strongly on value fair, premium strong, moat strong, health good, red flags good, option trading strong, stability strong. Prime stocks stand out among those that pass - the Sunday Scan is the top 10 by Wheel Score.
Implied volatility is 59% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% sweet spot the Wheel Score rewards most: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. The option chain is deep: 92,158 contracts of open interest across all expiries, which means tight fills at most strikes.
Volume runs at 3.4M shares a day on a market cap of $95.3B, with a beta of 0.92; the Stability part of the Wheel Score rates that strong.
| Filter | Wheel Trade Filter | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Options that actually trade | Passes | Listed options with 1,000+ contracts of open interest and 100+ traded a day |
| 2 | A real business, not a gamble | Passes | Profitable over the last twelve months - not a speculative stock, fund or note |
| 3 | Below fair value | Passes | Trading below the nine-model average fair value (margin of safety above 0) |
| 4 | Financially healthy | Passes | Piotroski F-score 6 or more out of 9 (a company with no score on file passes) |
| 5 | Can repay its debt | Passes | Long-term debt repaid from 3 years of operating cash flow or less (6 for real estate and utilities; banks and insurers are not judged on it) |
| 6 | No serious red flags | Passes | Red Flags score 60 or more out of 100 (earnings, margins, debt, analysts, filings and price checked the same way for every stock) |
| 7 | A premium worth selling | Passes | Implied volatility 25-80% (enough premium, not a lottery ticket) |
| 8 | Big enough | Passes | Market cap $1 billion or more |
| 9 | Not a penny stock | Passes | Share price $5 or more |
| How it ranks | Rating | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | Fair | 12% below fair value | |
