INTU Bullish Opening Trade Signal

Investment Rationale

Intuit Inc. (INTU) has shown recent upside momentum heading into its upcoming earnings report on Thursday, May 22, after the close.The company continues to benefit from long-term structural growth drivers across financial software, tax services, and AI-driven small business tools. With a strong brand moat and recurring revenue model, Intuit is well positioned to outperform in the current environment. Additionally, the software sector remains relatively insulated from global trade tensions and tariff headlines, which have weighed on more industrial or hardware-exposed segments. This macro positioning adds stability to the bullish setup forming into earnings.

INTU has broken out above key resistance near $640, clearing both its 200-day and 50-day moving averages with strong follow-through. The move is supported by a bullish crossover in short-term momentum indicators and an uptick in volume, showing confidence in the move. Relative strength has improved meaningfully, as the stock now outperforms the broader S&P 500 on a one-month and six-month basis. With the breakout now holding above prior range highs, the next technical resistance level sits near the $700 level.

Intuit’s fundamentals remain strong, with metrics that justify its valuation premium. The company trades modestly above the industry on a forward earnings basis, but growth and margin performance support the multiple. Management continues to execute well across both the consumer and small business segments, and investor focus is likely to be on updated AI initiatives and guidance on the earnings call.

  • Forward PE Ratio: 29.46x vs. Industry Median 26.17x
  • Expected EPS Growth: 14.31% vs. Industry Median 12.54%
  • Expected Revenue Growth: 12.34% vs. Industry Median 9.67%
  • Net Margins: 17.69% vs. Industry Median 10.19%

The INTU Jun 13, 2025 $665/$715 bull call spread sets up as an attractive, limited-risk play into earnings. With 29 days to expiration and a favorable 2:1 reward-to-risk profile, the trade is positioned to do well if earnings extend the stock’s bullish breakout.
