Is ZION Bullish or Bearish?

Bullish. Innellis AI committee rates Zions Bancorporation (ZION) Buy with a composite score of 70/100 , based on 5 analysts with 80% agreement. Last updated September 17, 2026.

What Would Change This View

Upgrade to Strong Buy
Requires a committee score of 75.0 — +4.79 from today. Applies on the first day at or above the line; upgrades are never dampened.
Downgrade to Watch
Requires the score to fall below 55.0 — -15.21 from today. The band boundary is 60.0, but a one-step downgrade must clear a further margin first. A score oscillating around the line should not change the rating every night.

Executive Summary

The primary driver is revenue growing 53.6% yoy -- genuine top-line momentum. Most analysts agree, and no major concerns are blocking a stronger rating.
