Why Upstart Stock Was Falling Again Today

On an otherwise good day for financial stocks and the markets generally, shares of Upstart (NASDAQ: UPST), a fintech lending platform based on artificial intelligence (AI), were falling today, and were down around 7.2% as of 3:40 p.m. ET. On Friday, Wedbush analyst David Chiaverini, who already had an underperform rating on Upstart, lowered his price target even further, from $20 to $15. Chiaverini cited a Kroll rating of a recent Upstart securitization, or rather a lack thereof, as indicating Upstart's class B and C notes were showing increased delinquencies and credit deterioration.
