Nicolet Bankshares' 15-minute chart has recently exhibited a significant technical indicator known as a KDJ Golden Cross, accompanied by a Bullish Marubozu pattern on August 13, 2025, at 11:45. This combination of indicators suggests a shift in the momentum of the stock price towards an upward trajectory, with a potential for further growth. The dominance of buyers in the market indicates that bullish momentum is likely to persist.

The KDJ Golden Cross is a bullish signal that occurs when the 50-period moving average crosses above the 200-period moving average, signaling a change in the stock's trend [1]. The Bullish Marubozu candlestick, characterized by a long body with no upper or lower shadows, indicates strong buying pressure and a potential breakout [1]. These indicators suggest that Nicolet Bankshares' stock price is likely to continue its upward movement.

Nicolet Bankshares has seen a 30% stock price surge over the last 12 months, driven by strong earnings growth. The company's earnings are expected to remain high in the second half of 2025, partly due to the downward re-pricing of deposits. However, loan growth is anticipated to slow down to a moderate rate after recent strong growth [1]. The loan portfolio grew by 6.4% (annualized) in the first half of 2025, higher than the growth rate of 4.3% for 2024 and 2.8% for 2023. For the remainder of 2025, loan growth could slow down due to tariffs, especially in Wisconsin and Michigan, which are heavily reliant on manufacturing and construction industries [1].

The company's net interest margin rebounded in the second quarter of 2025, with the average loan yield growing from 6.08% to 6.23%. This improvement is expected to continue, with the net interest margin remaining stable in the third quarter and growing by 4 basis points in the fourth quarter due to anticipated Fed funds rate cuts [1]. Nicolet Bankshares' earnings per share (EPS) is expected to grow by 12% in 2025, reaching $9.03. This growth is supported by continued loan growth and the re-pricing downward of certain deposits [1].

Despite the strong earnings and loan growth, the stock price rally may have run its course. Valuation analysis suggests an 8.3% downside from the current market price, with a total expected return of negative 7.3% due to the price downside and dividend yield. Therefore, a hold rating is recommended for Nicolet Bankshares [1].
