Where NBBK is headed

The 2023 IPO gave it capital, the post-SVB regional bank wreckage gave it deposit share, and the migration into cannabis banking, mortgage warehouse lending, and specialty commercial has given it a yield mix that most $6bn-asset community banks simply cannot replicate. That is the setup going into the back half of 2026.
