Yagudin Almaty, Kazakhstan Dmitriy Dmitriy In the contemporary landscape of corporate governance, the role of intuition in strategic decision-making remains a contentious economic variable. This paper explores a phenomenon where managerial intuition acts as a double-edged sword, capable of generating both a “visionary premium” and a “governance discount.” While traditional financial models emphasize data-driven rationality, top-tier executives frequently rely on strategic intuition to navigate high-entropy environments. Through a comparative analysis of market capitalization trends and investor sentiment, this study identifies the conditions under which the market rewards intuitive leaps as innovation or penalizes them as information asymmetry. Our findings suggest that the economic outcome of intuitive leadership is mediated by “institutional trust” and “past performance signals.” The paper concludes by proposing a framework for “Analytical Verification,” suggesting that the most resilient market value is created when intuitive hypotheses are filtered through rigorous quantitative stress-testing. 2026 2026 28 33 10.54216/JIER.030105 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/42/show/4284
