Partial Published before the outcome was known, scored automatically when the window closed on January 10, 2026.
Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 54% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published October 12, 2025
Shares look beaten down, yet the bank's core business and dividend remain solid. Buying has been weak lately, but signs suggest the pressure may be easing, so adding in steps makes sense. Q3 results and the call on Oct 28 could steady nerves. A bearish article raised worry, but steady credit and clear plans for loan profits and deposits could lift the stock in the next 0-3 months if management explains how they will protect margins and keep customer money.
Primary drivers
- Share price looks very beaten down and is starting to show signs of stabilizing
- Solid business health and a reliable dividend that pays you to wait
- Upcoming Q3 results and Oct 28 call could provide clarity and calm worries
- Concerns from the Oct 9 bearish article may fade as facts replace fear
How it played out
NWBI: target stayed out of reach
Lyra published NWBI at $11.89 on 2025-10-12 with 16% expected growth over a short-term window ending 2026-01-10. The thesis pointed to a beaten-down share price, signs of stabilization, solid business health, a reliable dividend, the Q3 results and Oct 28 call, and the chance that worries from an Oct 9 bearish article would fade.
Inside the window, NWBI rose but never reached the $13.56 target. The peak was $12.91 on 2025-12-11, with an 8.6% gain. It ended at $12.23 on 2026-01-10. The thesis partly played out, but the target was missed.
Prices are shown split- and dividend-adjusted, matching what public charts show today.
