nCino has beaten earnings estimates in all 4 recent quarters with an average surprise of 178%, generates free cash flow at 1,000% of net income (meaning it converts far more cash than GAAP earnings suggest), and trades with 36% analyst upside at a PEG of 0.07 — yet the stock is in a confirmed downtrend below its 200-day moving average with a 15% short interest and a highly concentrated dependency on Salesforce as its core infrastructure.

About nCino, Inc.
About nCino, Inc.
nCino's cloud banking platform reached $594.8 million in revenue for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, up from $476.5 million in fiscal 2024, serving more than 2,700 customers across 25-plus countries, including global institutions such as Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Barclays, Santander, and TD Bank. Research and development investment of $127.5 million represented 21.4% of revenues for the period. Of the customer base, 620 accounts generated more than $100,000 in subscription revenues and 114 exceeded $1.0 million.
nCino earns revenue through subscriptions that shifted from seat-based to an asset-based pricing framework beginning in fiscal 2025, with fees calibrated to the dollar value of assets in the lines of business supported by the platform and AI capability consumption. Core revenue comes from licensing solutions for commercial lending, small business and consumer loan origination, account opening, onboarding, credit monitoring, and analytics. No single customer exceeded 10% of total revenues in fiscal 2026. The platform runs on Salesforce infrastructure — an agreement originally signed in 2011 and extended through January 31, 2031 — supplemented by Amazon Web Services for data architecture. Implementation is handled directly by nCino for regional and community banks and through system integrators such as Accenture, Deloitte, and PwC for larger institutions. Competition comes primarily from point solution vendors and, increasingly, from AI-focused fintech startups that target specific banking workflows but typically lack nCino's regulatory compliance track record and FI implementation history.
Show full overview
The Salesforce Platform dependency represents a structural constraint on nCino's technical architecture. The current agreement, amended December 2023, permits early termination in cases of material breach, bankruptcy, a change of control in favor of a direct competitor, or intellectual property infringement — any of which could disrupt the hosting infrastructure that underlies Salesforce-based solutions. The 10-K also identifies a secondary infrastructure risk: data centers operated by Salesforce, AWS, and other third parties, if disrupted, could expose nCino to liability and service outages for mission-critical FI customers.
