Intuit Inc's stock fell by 5.96%, hitting a 20-day low, as the broader software sector faced significant pressure.
The decline in Intuit's stock is part of a larger trend, with the S&P 500 down 0.97% and software stocks retreating following negative sentiment triggered by Salesforce's over 7% drop after a new tool release by AI startup Anthropic. This has raised concerns about the software sector's stability, impacting investor confidence across related stocks.
As the market awaits upcoming economic data, including PPI and retail sales, investors are cautious, which may continue to affect Intuit's stock performance in the near term.
