An update from Nicolet Bankshares ( (NIC) ) is now available.
On January 20, 2026, Nicolet Bankshares reported record results for 2025, with net income rising to $151 million from $124 million in 2024 and diluted earnings per share climbing 21.5% to $9.78. The company highlighted strong profitability metrics, including a 1.68% return on assets, an 18.53% return on average tangible common equity and a net interest margin of 3.76%, supported by a $497 million, or 7%, increase in core deposits and 3% loan growth during the year. Fourth-quarter 2025 net income was $40 million, slightly below the prior quarter but up from the same period in 2024, as lower funding costs from interest rate cuts helped offset modest pressure on asset yields. Asset quality remained solid, with nonperforming assets at 0.35% of total assets and negligible net charge-offs, while total assets reached $9.2 billion and total capital increased to $1.3 billion at year-end. Against this backdrop, the board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.32 per share, payable March 16, 2026 to shareholders of record on March 2, 2026, and management positioned the strong 2025 performance as a foundation for integrating its proposed merger with MidWestOne Financial Group and reinforcing its standing among top-performing community banks.
