On Tuesday, investment firm Baird adjusted its price target for nCino Inc. (NASDAQ:NCNO), a cloud banking provider, increasing it to $43.00, up from the previous $36.00. Despite the price target hike, Baird maintained a Neutral stance on the company's stock.
According to InvestingPro data, the stock is currently trading near its Fair Value, with analyst targets ranging from $35 to $49. This adjustment follows a recent survey conducted in the banking sector, which has led to a more favorable view of nCino's position in the market.
The analyst noted that nCino's stock has already seen a significant rise, climbing 20% recently, which outperforms the S&P 500 index's 16% gain. This increase is attributed to the improving prospects for banking fundamentals. However, the analyst suggests that the current valuation of nCino's shares may require further confirmation of improvement to maintain its momentum.
Looking ahead, Baird anticipates that nCino will likely reiterate its prior guidance of more than 15% subscription growth for the fiscal year 2026, which ends in January. The analyst pointed out that while international growth continues to counterbalance the U.S. market, the recovery shape of the mortgage sector remains moderated due to higher interest rates.
The report concludes that while the short-term outlook may seem negative, this could be more favorable for the mid-term investment perspective, potentially leading to a "beat-and-raise" scenario. Baird signaled that it might consider upgrading its recommendation on nCino's stock if the price approaches the mid-$30s range.
