[Form 4] Intuit Inc Insider Trading Activity
Intuit Inc. (INTU) – Form 4, filed 28 Jul 2025
EVP & CFO Sandeep Aujla reported equity awards granted on 24 Jul 2025. All transactions are coded “A” (acquired) and are held directly.
- Stock options: 14,726 non-qualified options with a $781.21 strike. Vesting: 25 % on 24 Jul 2026, then 2 1/12 % monthly; fully vested after four years (23 Jul 2029).
- Time-based RSUs: 4,641 units. Vesting: 25 % on 1 Jul 2026, then 6.25 % each 1 Oct, 31 Dec, 1 Apr, and 1 Jul until complete.
- Performance RSUs: 8,923 target units (0-200 % payout) linked to total shareholder return goals; cliff-vests 1 Sep 2028.
No shares were sold or transferred, and there are no changes in non-derivative common stock holdings disclosed. The grants modestly increase potential share count—maximum dilution <0.01 % of Intuit’s ~280 m shares outstanding—while strengthening long-term pay-for-performance alignment for the finance chief.
- Performance-based RSUs tied to total shareholder return enhance alignment between executive pay and long-term shareholder value.
- Grant of 14,726 options plus up to 17,846 RSUs (at max payout) adds minor dilution to the share count, though currently immaterial.
Insights
TL;DR: Routine incentive grants; negligible dilution; neutral share-price impact.
These awards expand Aujla’s derivative holdings by ~28,000 potential shares (options + target RSUs). Even at 200 % performance payout, incremental dilution is immaterial against Intuit’s large float, so no valuation change is warranted. Strike price sits near recent trading range, ensuring options only reward further appreciation. Overall, the filing is standard executive compensation disclosure with neutral fundamental impact.
TL;DR: TSR-linked RSUs improve alignment; mildly positive for governance.
The mix of time-based and performance-based equity follows best-practice guidelines. Requiring sustained TSR before vesting encourages longer-term value creation and discourages short-term earnings management. While investors may monitor cumulative dilution, the scale here is trivial. From a governance viewpoint, the structure is incrementally positive, but not material enough to move sentiment.
