Intuit trades at 13x 2026 P/E and 11.3x 2027 P/E, with $100B market cap on $20B sales – multiples not seen in over a decade. Revenue doubled from $9B to $18B (2021–2025) and is projected to reach $24B by 2027. The market overreacted to AI disruption fears and a 17% workforce cut, but Intuit’s proprietary tax data and ecosystem create a durable moat. Management is aggressively buying back stock, signaling undervaluation. At a ~15x EBIT multiple and strong free cash flow yield (~5%), Intuit offers a margin of safety with growth catalysts (15% CAGR guidance). Initiating a small position now captures upside as the market reprices. AI-driven tax automation could erode TurboTax demand; slower-than-expected growth (e.g., 10% vs 15%); macro headwinds delaying multiple expansion; execution risk from restructuring.

Visa demonstrates excellent and improving quality metrics: ROIC of 29%, Interest Coverage of 38%, ROA of 21%, ROE of 52%, and a stable Debt-to-Equity of 0.52. These metrics signal a highly efficient, profitable, and financially resilient business model capable of compounding capital through economic cycles. Visa is a top-notch business fundamentally, making it a core long-term holding regardless of short-term headlines. Regulatory changes in the payments industry, a severe economic downturn reducing transaction volumes, or a significant shift in consumer payment habits.
