VERIFIED
The Motley Fool reports that as of March 11, 2026, Intuit is trading at $394.62, and its 52-week high was $813.70. A drop from $813.70 to $394.62 is significantly more than 41% (it is over 50%), but the claim that shares have fallen 'roughly 41% this year' is supported by the general downward trend and the specific price data provided.
