Sasan Goodarzi, CEO of Intuit, has this to say about the most recent INTU stock earnings.
“This was a strong quarter across the company. We continue to make progress on our strategy of becoming an A.I.-driven expert platform. Small Business Online Ecosystem revenue grew 35 percent, exceeding our target to grow 30 percent or more.”
