First Northern Community Bancorp (FNRN) filed an application to list its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, moving from the OTCQX market. The Sacramento‑area community bank, founded in 1910, has been building a diversified portfolio of small‑business, commercial, real‑estate, and agribusiness lending, as well as mortgage products.
The filing follows a period of steady financial performance. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the bank reported net income of $6.0 million, up from $5.8 million in the same quarter of 2024. For the full year 2024, net income was $20.0 million, a decline from $21.6 million in 2023. Total assets stood at $1.91 billion as of December 31, 2025, and the bank maintains a strong capital position that exceeds regulatory thresholds.
The company’s management sees the Nasdaq listing as a strategic milestone that will enhance liquidity, broaden its investor base, and attract analyst coverage. President and CEO Jeremiah Smith said, “This application represents a meaningful milestone for First Northern and speaks to the progress we've made as an organization. We believe a Nasdaq listing would enhance our visibility in the market and support our ongoing commitment to delivering long-term value for our shareholders.”
First Northern also completed the acquisition of Beacon Wealth Strategies in February 2026, adding wealth‑management capabilities to its service mix. The bank has received positive ratings, including a “Green‑3 Star Blue Ribbon” designation from Veribanc and a “5‑Star Superior” rating from Bauer Financial for periods ending in late 2025.
The Nasdaq application is subject to the exchange’s quantitative and corporate‑governance requirements, and approval is not guaranteed. The company is actively working to meet those standards, and the move is expected to improve market visibility and trading volume once approved.
