1.b. Last Insights on NCNO

nCino's recent performance faces challenges due to decelerating growth, prompting a downgrade to neutral from a previous rating.

Additionally, potential AI disruption and choppy mortgage trends undermine confidence. Despite a "Moderate Buy" consensus rating from 21 research firms, one analyst has rated the stock with a sell rating (Source: MarketBeat, Jan 31, 2026).
