See our latest analysis for Intuit.

Intuit’s flurry of AI-powered releases and a headline partnership with Cherry Bekaert have certainly kept the spotlight on its growth story. Even so, the share price hasn’t quite followed suit lately, with momentum cooling after early-year gains. Intuit’s 1-year total shareholder return sits at -3.1%, despite a strong 3-year figure of nearly 78%.

If you’re keen to spot emerging opportunities beyond just major headlines, this is a great moment to broaden your perspective with fast growing stocks with high insider ownership

With Intuit’s steady stream of innovation and analyst optimism, the key question emerges: does the current share price reflect all this future growth, or could investors be looking at a compelling entry point?

Intuit’s last close comes in well below the most widely followed narrative’s fair value, hinting at unpriced growth that could surprise the market. Let’s look at the most important driver powering this perspective.

The accelerating adoption of Intuit’s AI-driven all-in-one platform, including virtual teams of AI agents and human experts, positions the company to consolidate customers’ tech stacks, drive automation of workflows, and unlock substantial ROI for customers. This supports higher average revenue per customer (ARPC) and net margin expansion over time.

But the challenges — some say the impossibility — of building new power plants to meet that demand so quickly has set off alarm bells for lawmakers, policymakers and regulators who wonder if those utility forecasts can be trusted.

One burning question is whether the forecasts are based on data center projects that may never get built — eliciting concern that regular ratepayers could be stuck with the bill to build unnecessary power plants and grid infrastructure at a cost of billions of dollars.

The scrutiny comes as analysts warn of the risk of an artificial intelligence investment bubble that’s ballooned tech stock prices and could burst.

Meanwhile, consumer advocates are finding that ratepayers in some areas — such as the mid-Atlantic electricity grid, which encompasses all or parts of 13 states stretching from New Jersey to Illinois, as well as Washington, D.C. — are already underwriting the cost to supply power to data centers, some of them built, some not.

“There’s speculation in there,” said Joe Bowring, who heads Monitoring Analytics, the independent market watchdog in the mid-Atlantic grid territory. “Nobody really knows. Nobody has been looking carefully enough at the forecast to know what’s speculative, what’s double-counting, what’s real, what’s not.”

Suspicions about skyrocketing demand

There is no standard practice across grids or for utilities to vet such massive projects, and figuring out a solution has become a hot topic, utilities and grid operators say.

Uncertainty around forecasts is typically traced to a couple of things.

One concerns developers seeking a grid connection, but whose plans aren’t set in stone or lack the heft — clients, financing or otherwise — to bring the project to completion, industry and regulatory officials say.

Another is data center developers submitting grid connection requests in various separate utility territories, PJM Interconnection, which operates the mid-Atlantic grid, and Texas lawmakers have found.

Often, developers, for competitive reasons, won’t tell utilities if or where they’ve submitted other requests for electricity, PJM said. That means a single project could inflate the energy forecasts of multiple utilities.

The effort to improve forecasts got a high-profile boost in September, when a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission member asked the nation’s grid operators for information on how they determine that a project is not only viable, but will use the electricity it says it needs.

“Better data, better decision-making, better and faster decisions mean we can get all these projects, all this infrastructure built,” the commissioner, David Rosner, said in an interview.

The Edison Electric Institute, a trade association of for-profit electric utilities, said it welcomed efforts to improve demand forecasting.

Real, speculative, or ‘somewhere in between’

The Data Center Coalition, which represents tech giants like Google and Meta and data center developers, has urged regulators to request more information from utilities on their forecasts and to develop a set of best practices to determine the commercial viability of a data center project.

The coalition’s vice president of energy, Aaron Tinjum, said improving the accuracy and transparency of forecasts is a “fundamental first step of really meeting this moment” of energy growth.

“Wherever we go, the question is, ‘Is the (energy) growth real? How can we be so sure?’” Tinjum said. “And we really view commercial readiness verification as one of those important kind of low-hanging opportunities for us to be adopting at this moment.”

Igal Feibush, the CEO of Pennsylvania Data Center Partners, a data center developer, said utilities are in a “fire drill” as they try to vet a deluge of data center projects all seeking electricity.

The vast majority, he said, will fall off because many project backers are new to the concept and don’t know what it takes to get a data center built.

States also are trying to do more to find out what’s in utility forecasts and weed out speculative or duplicative projects.

In Texas, which is attracting large data center projects, lawmakers still haunted by a blackout during a deadly 2021 winter storm were shocked when told in 2024 by the grid operator, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, that its peak demand could nearly double by 2030.

They found that state utility regulators lacked the tools to determine whether that was realistic.

Texas state Sen. Phil King told a hearing earlier this year that the grid operator, utility regulators and utilities weren’t sure if the power requests “are real or just speculative or somewhere in between.”

Lawmakers passed legislation sponsored by King, now law, that requires data center developers to disclose whether they have requests for electricity elsewhere in Texas and to set standards for developers to show that they have a substantial financial commitment to a site.

Electricity bills are rising, too

PPL Electric Utilities, which delivers power to 1.5 million customers across central and eastern Pennsylvania, projects that data centers will more than triple its peak electricity demand by 2030.

Vincent Sorgi, president and CEO of PPL Corp., told analysts on an earnings call this month that the data center projects “are real, they are coming fast and furious” and that the “near-term risk of overbuilding generation simply does not exist.”

The data center projects counted in the forecast are backed by contracts with financial commitments often reaching tens of millions of dollars, PPL said.

Still, PPL’s projections helped spur a state lawmaker, Rep. Danilo Burgos, to introduce a bill to bolster the authority of state utility regulators to inspect how utilities assemble their energy demand forecasts.

Ratepayers in Burgos’ Philadelphia district just absorbed an increase in their electricity bills — attributed by the utility, PECO, to the rising cost of wholesale electricity in the mid-Atlantic grid driven primarily by data center demand.

That’s why ratepayers need more protection to ensure they are benefiting from the higher cost, Burgos said.

“Once they make their buck, whatever company,” Burgos said, “you don’t see no empathy towards the ratepayers.”

Belém, Brazil, November 15, 2025 – The COP Action Agenda on Regenerative Landscapes (AARL) today announced a surge in investments to advance production, conservation, and restoration, advancing integrated solutions to deliver resilient agrifood systems. More than 40 organizations reported $9B+ in committed investment, covering more than 210 million hectares of land, reaching 12 million farmers across 90+ commodities and 110+ countries by 2030, highlighting significant progress since the initiative was launched at COP28.

AARL – launched by the COP28 Presidency, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), and Boston Consulting Group (BCG), with support from the UN Climate Change High-Level Champions – brings together farmers, agribusinesses, financiers, and leading non-state actors to aggregate, accelerate, and amplify collective action and investments to overcome barriers to scaling regenerative landscape approaches.

Driving Scale and Impact

Since the initiative’s launch at COP28, participation has significantly grown, expanding from 25 to 40+ organizations, including commodity traders, consumer goods companies, retailers, agtech providers, financial institutions, and other non-state actor partners.

While the total land under regenerative transition reflects a stricter definition and revised expectations (resulting in a decrease since 2024), the maturity and quality of programs have advanced. The share of initiatives at-scale (10,000 hectares) has grown from 38% to 52%, and the proportion of programs with three or more partners has expanded from 16% to 40%. Investment has accelerated far beyond land growth, increasing more than fourfold from $2.2B in 2023 to $9B in 2025. Drawing from the AARL data, the Guidebook for Landscape Investments collates 12 case studies showcasing replicable success factors for landscape regeneration, highlighting the impact that agrifood companies can achieve when working collaboratively, putting in place holistic financial and technical support mechanisms for producers.

However, data collection and reporting remain areas for improvement. Currently, 67% of responding participants are measuring carbon impacts in at least some programs, but only 38% are reporting on carbon outcomes. Reporting on soil health, biodiversity, water, and farmer livelihoods lags further behind, underscoring the challenges in identifying robust yet cost-effective monitoring, reporting and verification systems and the need for greater transparency.

We see firsthand how business leadership, when coupled with inclusive multi-stakeholder collaboration, is indispensable to unlocking the full potential of regenerative landscapes.

– Dan Ioschpe – Climate High-Level Champion – COP30, Brazil

This work shows show how businesses can (and must) work shoulder-to-shoulder with local partners, governments, investors, and farmers to create regenerative landscapes that deliver measurable climate, nature, and social benefits. This is not a solo journey; it is collective action in its fullest sense.

– Nigar Arpadarai – Climate High-Level Champion – COP29, Azerbaijan

The 9B+ dollars committed to regenerating agri-food landscapes by businesses in the AARL demonstrate the scale of the transition underway in agriculture. The next phase of this initiative will showcase the results these $9B+ can deliver on the ground, and how this investment can de-risk the transition for farmers.

– Diane Holdorf, Executive Vice President, World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD)

The power of AARL is not only in the $9B its members are committing to regenerative landscapes, but also its unique model of place-based collaboration that can deliver impact at scale. We’re seeing evidence of this in the Landscape Accelerator Brazil.

– Shalini Unnikrishnan, Managing Director & Senior Partner, Boston Consulting Group (BCG)

Place-Based Acceleration in Brazil

At COP29, AARL marked a pivotal step in moving from ambition to action with the launch of its first landscape accelerator: the Landscape Accelerator Brazil (LAB).

Launched in partnership with Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture, the LAB focuses on the Cerrado biome and Pará state (Amazon). Research from the LAB shows that restoring pastures and advancing regenerative practices across 50M+ hectares represents a $93B investment opportunity, with an average 19% internal rate of return for 610,000 farmers. This commercially bankable opportunity requires de-risking through blended finance approaches.

A year in, the LAB has made significant progress to unleash this opportunity:

• Blended finance: Quantifying the business case and financing stack needed to scale regenerative landscapes in Brazil
• Harmonized measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV): Developing context-specific and streamlined metrics and MRV implementation guidance
• Aligned policy: Identifying four key policy priorities to unlock private sector investment

In 2026, the LAB aims to evolve into a co-investment platform focused on specific landscapes, with the ambition of mobilizing $5 billion by 2030 – as outlined in its Action Plan.

Looking Ahead

In 2024, AARL was identified as a mechanism supporting the delivery of the UNCCD COP16 Riyadh Action Agenda. Additionally, AARL will partner with the Resilient Agriculture Investment for net-Zero land degradation (RAIZ) accelerator, which the COP30 Presidency will announce on 19^th November.

Going forward, the AARL will replicate the accelerator blueprint in new geographies – starting with India in 2026. AARLwelcomes collaborators across agricultural landscapes in this global effort, including governments, businesses, financiers, producers, civil society, research organizations and other non-state actors.

Blood-based biomarkers and imaging measures may eventually serve as practical tools for monitoring disease activity in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), according to a new analysis.¹

The retrospective phase 2b study, which explored the use of various non-invasive tests (NITs) to assess response to semaglutide, adds to growing evidence that the drug not only improves metabolic parameters but may also produce early and measurable liver benefits detectable through blood-based and imaging biomarkers.

If these NITs prove useful in further research, write the researchers, they could reduce reliance on repeated liver biopsies, which remain the current standard despite their limitations.

Although biopsy-confirmed histology is required for clinical trials, repeated biopsies are burdensome for patients and challenging for trial execution. As drug development accelerates, there is increasing pressure to validate NITs, such as liver stiffness measurement, fibrosis scores, or circulating biomarkers, as surrogate indicators of treatment response.

This new study, published in Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics, assessed 268 patients with biopsy-confirmed MASH and fibrosis stages F1–F3 who completed 72 weeks of treatment and had both baseline and end-of-treatment biopsy and NIT measurements. Patients had been randomized to receive one of 3 semaglutide doses or a placebo. For this exploratory analysis, all semaglutide doses were pooled to increase statistical power.

The investigators examined 17 unique NITs, including liver enzymes (ALT, AST), CK18 fragments, FibroScan-based metrics (controlled attenuation parameter and liver stiffness measure [LSM]), composite fibrosis scores (FIB-4, ELF, ADAPT), and proprietary biomarker panels such as NIS-4, MASEF, and several SomaSignal tests.

Across the pooled semaglutide group, nearly all NITs showed meaningful reductions from baseline to week 72, with improvements emerging as early as week 28. Measures tied to inflammation, steatosis, or fibrosis demonstrated consistent downward trends. In contrast, the placebo group showed little change, reinforcing that the improvements were treatment related. These findings aligned with biopsy-based assessments from the original study, which showed higher rates of MASH improvement and lower rates of fibrosis progression among semaglutide recipients.

To quantify whether NITs could serve as treatment-response markers, investigators defined “responders” as those achieving a ≥20% improvement in a given NIT (or ≥0.5-unit reduction for ELF based on prior clinical significance criteria). By this definition, semaglutide recipients had significantly more responders across nearly all NITs compared with placebo. For example, large proportions of semaglutide-treated patients demonstrated improved liver stiffness, fibrosis scores, steatosis markers, and inflammatory signatures. These NIT improvements frequently corresponded with histological improvement, supporting their potential utility as surrogate end points.

The study also explored whether baseline NIT levels predicted spontaneous fibrosis improvement or progression in placebo recipients. In this prognostic assessment, lower baseline fibrosis-related NIT scores, such as FIB-4, ELF, PRO-C3, and the SomaSignal fibrosis score, were associated with greater likelihood of improvement. Conversely, higher baseline FIB-4 values were linked to fibrosis progression. These findings suggest that some NITs may capture disease trajectory independent of treatment, though larger validation studies are needed.

Another evaluation focused on whether patients moved across clinically meaningful risk categories after treatment. In subgroups with elevated baseline risk, such as those with liver stiffness ≥8 kPa or ELF ≥9.8, a substantially higher proportion of semaglutide-treated individuals shifted into lower-risk categories compared with placebo. More than half of patients receiving semaglutide with elevated liver stiffness dropped below the 8-kPa threshold by week 72, compared with only 21% of placebo recipients. Similar patterns were observed for higher thresholds (12 kPa) and for ELF-based risk assessments.

“LSM is of considerable interest given that it is already in use clinically to detect fibrosis in hepatic disease as part of risk stratification,” explained the researchers. Moreover, LSM is recommended in MASLD guidelines because of its convenience and low cost.”

Collectively, these results support the concept that NITs may serve as meaningful indicators of treatment response and fibrosis improvement in MASH. However, the authors caution that this analysis was exploratory and not powered for regulatory validation. With no correction for multiple comparisons and the absence of long-term clinical outcomes, additional research, including the ongoing ESSENCE phase 3 trial of semaglutide treatment in patients with MASH,² is needed before NITs can be adopted as formal surrogate end points.

A new single-center analysis offers one of the most detailed real-world evaluations to date of how flow cytometry can be used to monitor chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell expansion, persistence, and toxicity risk in patients with aggressive large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL). The study was recently published in Hematological Oncology.¹

The findings, based on 45 patients treated with commercial CAR T products, provide real-world evidence for integrating flow cytometry into routine CAR T follow-up. Although its prognostic value for survival requires further validation, its utility for toxicity risk assessment and longitudinal immune tracking positions it as a valuable component of CAR T patient management.

Though less sensitive than molecular assays, flow cytometry offers practical advantages for real-time monitoring, explained the researchers, noting the tool’s ability to flag early, high-risk expansion profiles that could help clinicians anticipate well known side effects of CAR T-cell treatment, allocate monitoring resources, and guide preemptive management strategies.

Despite transforming outcomes for many patients with relapsed or refractory LBCL, CAR T-cell treatment yields responses and toxicities that vary considerably from one patient to another. Early expansion of CAR T cells is essential to achieve an antitumor effect, yet this same immune activation can trigger serious inflammatory complications commonly associated with CAR T-cell treatment, such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell–associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS).

Most data linking expansion kinetics to clinical outcomes come from a controlled setting via clinical trials, leaving limited insight into real-world variability. The current analysis aimed to fill that gap by using flow cytometry, one of the most widely available and accessible laboratory tools, to characterize CAR T behavior from the time of infusion through 12 months of follow-up.

Among the 45 evaluable patients, the majority had advanced disease and a high prognostic risk profile. Most (89%) received axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) (Yescarta; Kite Pharma), and the remainder were treated with tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel) (Kymriah; Novartis). The study found that both products produced rapid expansion in peripheral blood, but with distinct kinetic profiles. Axi-cel reached peak expansion earlier—typically by day 7—with substantially higher median peak levels than tisa-cel. Tisa-cel expanded more modestly and peaked later, around day 10.

These early expansion dynamics were meaningful clinically. Patients with higher CAR T cell expansion were more likely to develop immune-related toxicity. CRS occurred in nearly 87% of the cohort, and patients with grade 2 CRS displayed substantially higher expansion levels than those without CRS. ICANS followed a similar pattern; patients who developed neurotoxicity had markedly higher peak percentages of CAR T cells within the lymphocyte population than those who did not. These associations reinforce the concept that early, robust expansion drives both therapeutic activity and inflammatory toxicity.

The analysis also examined whether expansion corresponded with treatment response or survival outcomes. Responders tended to have numerically higher expansion peaks, as well as greater overall exposure captured by area-under-the-curve calculations. Although these differences did not reach statistical significance, likely due to sample size, progression-free survival at 6 months was higher among patients whose CAR T expansion exceeded 39% of circulating lymphocytes. This suggests that, at least for axi-cel, rapid expansion in the first week may be more prognostic of benefit than the absolute peak magnitude.

“Although we observed only a trend between CAR T cell expansion and clinical response or survival, our findings suggest that FC monitoring can provide clinically useful insights into CAR T cell–treated patients,” wrote the researchers.

The study is not the first to characterize the relationship between CAR T-cell expansion and response to treatment. For example, a 2023 report detailed how CAR T-cell expansion is linked to both efficacy and side effects related to treatment.²

Beyond the initial expansion window, the study characterized CAR T persistence over the first year.¹ While overall levels declined steadily, a substantial proportion of patients still had detectable CAR T cells at month 6, and a small subset maintained detectable levels at month 12. B-cell aplasia, a pharmacodynamic marker of ongoing CAR T activity, was present in most patients at the 6-month mark. These findings confirm long-term persistence but highlight broad heterogeneity in immune recovery patterns.

Cytopenias were another notable observation. Nearly two-thirds of the patients experienced prolonged cytopenia beyond the first month, most commonly pancytopenia. These patients displayed higher median expansion early after infusion, hinting that an intense inflammatory milieu may disrupt hematopoiesis. Although not statistically significant, the pattern aligns with other reports linking expansion intensity to delayed marrow recovery.
