Intuit Inc. (INTU): fair value, margin of safety and Wheel Score
Technology · Software - Application · United States · High Growth
Is INTU undervalued?
At 330.17 (close of 16 Oct 2026), INTU trades 31% below the GLS average fair value of 478.07. That average comes from 9 models run on the latest filings, and 5 of them land above the current price. Margins of safety over 30% are the exception rather than the rule across the ~7,400 stocks we value each night, so the number earns Intuit Inc. the full Value points in the Wheel Score - and a closer look at what the market is pricing in.
The 9 models disagree widely: DDM gives 73.28 while Payback Time gives 1,068.01. 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.
The nightly engine files INTU under High Growth: revenue and earnings growing fast enough that the growth-based models carry the valuation.

| Model | Value | vs price | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| DCF | 522.55 | +58% | Present value of the projected free cash flows, discounted at the cost of capital |
| Graham Number | 162.40 | -51% | The most a defensive investor pays for the earnings and book value per share |
| Graham Growth | 655.30 | +98% | Graham's growth formula: EPS × (8.5 + 2 × growth), adjusted for bond yields |
| Lynch | 263.75 | -20% | EPS × the earnings growth rate (PEG of 1), growth capped at 25% |
| GLS Growth | 625.66 | +89% | EPS compounded ten years at the blended growth rate, discounted back at 15% a year |
| 10 Cap | 745.17 | +126% | Owner's earnings (operating cash flow less maintenance capex) capitalised at 10% |
| Payback Time | 1,068.01 | +223% | Eight years of compounded free cash flow: the price at which the business pays for itself |
| DDM | 73.28 | -78% | Dividend discount model: next year's dividend ÷ (10% − 3% growth); needs a dividend |
| EPV | 186.52 | -44% | 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 |

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 8.3 out of 10, built from ten years of revenue, earnings, margins, cash flow, share count and returns on capital scored for consistency - a high reading that points 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 9.8%.
The dividend yield is 1.51% at a payout ratio of 30%; for a wheel trader holding assigned shares the dividend adds to the covered-call premium, and the ex-dividend date is worth knowing before a call is sold. Revenue comes mainly from Global Business Solutions 91%, Consumer 9% (quarter Q4 FY2026).
Institutional ownership scores 10/10, insider activity 1/10 and Congressional trading 5/10 on the GLS smart-money scales; the last recorded Congressional buy was on 18 Aug 2026.
| Piotroski F-score | 7 / 9 | ROIC | 16.7% |
|---|---|---|---|
| GLS Moat | 8.3 / 10 | ROE | 24.0% |
| Debt / equity | 0.44 | ROA | 12.4% |
| Free-cash-flow yield | 9.8% | Payout ratio | 30% |
| Institutions | 10 / 10 | Insiders · Congress | 1 · 5 / 10 |
Wheel Score 93: Prime
INTU scores 93 out of 100 on the Wheel Score, in the Prime band (80 and above), which fewer than one stock in twenty reaches on any night. The score blends five things a wheel trader checks before selling a cash-secured put: the margin of safety (Value, 25/25), Piotroski health (16/20), the GLS moat (12/15), the option premium on offer (20/20) and how easily the stock trades (20/20).
Implied volatility is 52% on the near-the-money contracts 20-60 days out - inside the 35-60% range the Wheel Score pays full marks for: enough premium to be worth selling, not so much that the risk is unpaid. The option chain is deep: 94,051 contracts of open interest across all expiries, which means tight fills at most strikes.
Volume runs at 4.5M shares a day on a market cap of $88.2B, with a beta of 1.01; the Stability part of the Wheel Score gives that 20 of 20.
| Part | Points | From | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Value | 25 / 25 | 31% margin of safety | |
| Health | 16 / 20 | Piotroski 7/9 | |
| Moat | 12 / 15 | moat 8.3/10 | |
| Premium | 20 / 20 | implied volatility 52% | |
| Stability | 20 / 20 | 4.5M shares/day, $88.2B cap, beta 1.01 |
