Tax-preparation software provider Intuit Inc. on Tuesday reported quarterly results that topped Wall Street's estimates, while forecasting third-quarter sales that were also above expectations.
Intuit shares $(INTU)$ rose 6% after hours on Tuesday.
The company, which owns TurboTax and Credit Karma, reported adjusted earnings per share of $3.32 for its fiscal second quarter, above FactSet analyst estimates for $2.57. Revenue of $4 billion also beat expectations for $3.8 billion.
For its fiscal third quarter, Intuit forecast $7.55 billion to $7.6 billion in sales, above analyst estimates for $7.52 billion. The company said it expects adjusted earnings of $10.89 to $10.95 a share, below analyst expectations for $11.51.
The results arrive amid the 2025 tax-filing season, a key period for the company. Intuit stuck with its full-year forecast.
