Shares of software, cybersecurity, and cloud companies are trading higher in possible sympathy with Snowflake, which saw gains after the company reported better-than-expected Q3 financial results and raised its FY25 product revenue guidance.

Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTU#NASDAQ">INTU</a>) will release earnings results for the first quarter, after the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/INTU/earnings">closing bell, on Thursday, Nov. 21</a>.
Analysts expect the Mountain View, California-based company to report quarterly earnings at $2.36 per share, down from $2.47 per share in the year-ago period. Intuit projects to report quarterly revenue of $3.14 billion, compared to $2.98 billion a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>
With the recent buzz around Intuit ahead of quarterly earnings, investors may be eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends. As of now, Intuit offers an annual dividend yield of 0.64%. That&#8217;s a quarterly dividend amount of $1.04 per share ($4.16 a year).
To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from Intuit, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Next, we take this amount and divide it by Intuit's $4.16 dividend: $6,000 / $4.16 = 1,442 shares.
So, an investor would need to own approximately $938,165 worth of Intuit, or 1,442 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.
Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $4.16 = 288 shares, or $187,373 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis (the dividend payment and the stock price fluctuate over time).
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.
INTU Price Action: Shares of Intuit gained by 1% to close at $650.60 on Wednesday.
On Nov. 18, Scotiabank analyst Allan Verkhovski initiated coverage on Intuit with a Sector Perform rating and announced a price target of $700.

As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House, renowned economist Mohamed El-Erian is cautioning against media oversimplification of the incoming administration&#8217;s proposed tariff strategies.
What Happened: In a recent statement on X, El-Erian highlighted the intricate nature of Trump&#8217;s tariff discussions, noting that the proposed economic policies encompass at least three complex economic stages influenced by multiple factors, including trade flows, corporate pricing strategies, and geopolitical considerations.
El-Erian&#8217;s core message remains clear: Trump&#8217;s tariff debate requires sophisticated, nuanced analysis that transcends simplistic narratives. &#8220;The issue is quite complex,&#8221; he emphasized, underscoring the need for comprehensive economic understanding beyond headline rhetoric.

Trump&#8217;s proposed economic blueprint, which includes a universal tariff of up to 20% on imports and potentially up to 60% on Chinese goods, has sparked intense economic debate. Tech investor Peter Thiel suggests these tariffs could significantly impact Chinese companies while causing minimal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42028954/peter-thiel-says-trumps-60-china-tariff-would-be-very-very-bad-for-beijing-heres-whats-at-stake">disruption to U.S. consumers</a>.

Why It Matters: Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle warns that Trump&#8217;s proposed universal tariff could push <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42042411/inflation-could-surge-to-3-if-trump-applies-universal-tariffs-goldman-sachs">inflation back to 3%</a>, potentially complicating Federal Reserve monetary strategies. 
The National Retail Federation estimates Trump&#8217;s tariff proposals could reduce annual consumer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41737933/trump-tariff-proposed-may-cost-americans-78b-in-spending-study">spending by $78 billion</a>.

U.S. stocks settled mixed on Wednesday, with the Dow Jones index gaining more than 100 points during the session.
Target Corp.

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) posted upbeat earnings and sales results, after the closing bell on Wednesday.
On the economic data front, mortgage applications in the U.S. rose 1.7% from the previous week in the week ending Nov. 15, compared to a 0.5% gain in the prior period.
Most sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a positive note, with healthcare, energy, and materials stocks recording the biggest gains on Wednesday. However, consumer discretionary and financials stocks bucked the overall market trend, closing the session lower.

12 Information Technology Stocks Moving In Tuesday's Pre-Market Session

Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTU#NASDAQ">INTU</a>) shares are moving lower on Tuesday. The stock may be reacting to reports suggesting the &#8220;Department of Government Efficiency&#8221; could create a mobile app to aid Americans in filing their taxes. Here&#8217;s what you <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/42069848">need to know</a>.
What To Know: According to a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/11/19/taxes-irs-musk-ramaswamy/">Washington Post</a> report, which cited people familiar with the matter, department leaders have discussed creating a mobile app that would allow Americans to file their taxes directly.
Previously, President-elect Donald Trump named Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the department being referred to as &#8220;DOGE.&#8221; Although the department&#8217;s main objectives are to reduce government spending and federal regulations, the mobile app could emerge as another focal point for the DOGE.
The report indicates that one challenge in creating this app could be managing the intricacies of the tax code, since simplifying it would require approval from Congress.
The DOGE posted on <a href="https://x.com/DOGE/status/1857993918526480545">X</a> over the weekend: &#8220;In 1955, there were less than 1.5 million words in the U.S. Tax Code. Today, there are more than 16 million words. Because of this complexity, Americans collectively spend 6.5 billion hours preparing and filing their taxes each year. This must be simplified.&#8221;

What's Going On With Intuit Shares Tuesday?

Intuit shares are trading lower. A report suggested that the "Department of Government Efficiency" may create a mobile app to help Americans file their taxes.

<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/11/19/trump-administration-transition/">https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/11/19/trump-administration-transition/</a>
The leaders of President-elect Donald Trump's "Department of Government Efficiency" have discussed trying to create a mobile app for Americans to file their taxes free with the Internal Revenue Service, according to two people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations.
Trump last week <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/11/12/elon-musk-trump-doge-vivek-ramaswamy/?itid=ap_jeffstein&amp;itid=lk_inline_manual_4">tapped billionaire Elon Musk and former pharmaceutical executive Vivek Ramaswamy to lead</a> the "DOGE" panel and gave them two principal mandates: cut government spending and reduce federal regulations. The leaders of the group have also discussed overhauling the tax system to let Americans file their taxes through a mobile app, viewing it as an opportunity to improve how millions of taxpayers interact with the federal government, the people said. This idea is not viewed as central to the commission's work but could still emerge as a goal, although what form its recommendations take still remains unclear.
These conversations, which people close to the commission described as highly preliminary, reflect the extent of the brainstorming occurring among the Silicon Valley elites suddenly handed political power about how to transform the federal government. Musk and Ramaswamy have championed their effort as a historic opportunity to unleash American business innovation by reducing regulation and government waste, but critics of both parties have said the effort often reveals an ignorance about work already done to try to solve problems in government.
For instance, Democrats have long sought to reduce the power of private tax filing companies, such as Intuit, by creating a government tool to allow Americans to file taxes. The Inflation Reduction Act, one of President Joe Biden's signature economic policy measures, created the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/01/19/file-your-taxes-for-free/?itid=lk_inline_manual_9">first-ever free file portal</a> for Americans to fill out their taxes. This year, the first one the system was up and running, more than 100,000 taxpayers used the pilot program according to the Treasury Department. Republicans generally opposed that effort as giving more power to the IRS, though.
Code for America, a tech nonprofit that assists the government, worked with the IRS to enable Americans to file their federal and state taxes through the free file database in about half of the states. Amanda Renteria, Code for America's CEO, said the Biden administration undertook a smart and careful process to make sure the system was effective for its users, working out the kinks on a small scale. But she also expressed confidence that those successes could now be built upon to provide free online tax filing for all Americans.
Tax experts have long said such a system could provide particularly large benefits to low-income Americans, who often do not claim thousands of dollars in annual benefits because they cannot afford a tax preparer who would help them file.

Intuit's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTU#NYSE">INTU</a>) short percent of float has risen 11.9% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.84 million shares sold short, which is 1.41% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.37 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Intuit has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Intuit's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Intuit's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.41%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
