Unity Bancorp's 15-minute chart recently exhibited a Golden Cross in the KDJ indicator, accompanied by a Bullish Marubozu candlestick formation on July 16, 2025, at 15:15. This shift in momentum suggests that the stock price may continue to rise as the buyers maintain control of the market, reinforcing a bullish outlook.

Unity Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: UNTY) reported a record-breaking net income of $16.5 million for the second quarter of 2025, a significant increase from the previous quarter. The company's net income per diluted share was $1.61, up from $1.13 in the first quarter. The robust performance was driven by one-time gains from investments in Patriot National Bancorp Inc. and stable loan growth [1].

Key financial highlights for the quarter include:
- Net interest income of $28.6 million
- Expansion of the loan portfolio by $37.5 million, reflecting strong origination capabilities
- Total deposits increasing by $12.0 million

The company's President and CEO, James A. Hughes, highlighted the quarter's strong performance, noting a return on assets of 2.51% and a return on equity of 21.15%. Loan balances increased by $37.5 million during the quarter, while total deposits rose by $12.0 million. Hughes expressed optimism about the company's future, citing robust loan demand and expectations of economic growth amid stabilizing inflation and potential interest rate cuts [1].

Unity Bancorp also announced plans to open a second location in Morris County, New Jersey, further expanding its branch network and services. The company's total assets stood at approximately $2.9 billion as of July 2025, with total deposits reaching $2.2 billion [1].

While the net income was significantly boosted by one-time gains, there are concerns about the sustainability of financial performance moving forward. The company's reliance on pre-tax one-time gains and credit loss releases suggests potential volatility in future earnings, which could affect investor confidence [1].
