Despite reporting good financial results on Tuesday, Intuit $INTU ( ▼ 3.37% ) plunged 10.23% in after-hours trading due to a weak outlook.

Financials: Intuit reported earnings of $4.03 per share in the past quarter and revenue of $4.4 billion. Both were better than expected.

Details: Revenue grew 14% in the quarter, including a 16% increase in global business solutions.

Powering the Story: The company expects revenue to grow only about 9%-10% in the new fiscal year, representing a slowdown in growth.

Early Bird’s Nest Egg Gains: TurboTax revenue was projected to grow only 2%–3%, down from 7% in fiscal 2026. The company cited continued declines in desktop products and lower average revenue per TurboTax customer.

Final Thoughts: It’s more of the same for Intuit investors. The stock was already down 43% this year.

One company has developed a technology that extracts valuable resources from coal without burning it. From jet fuel to diesel and more, Frontieras North America has the potential to address $2.1  trillion in annual markets*.

It’s similar to when John D. Rockefeller commercialized oil refining technology. If Frontieras captures just 2% of the global coal market, they would position themselves as the global leader in the space.

They just broke ground for their $850 million flagship facility and reserved the ‘FASF’ NASDAQ ticker. Don’t miss your chance to join the next phase of growth: invest in Frontieras before the opportunity ends on August 27.
