(Yahoo!) New York Community Bancorp played the role of rescuer during a 2023 regional banking crisis by purchasing some assets of the failed Signature Bank. Now it is experiencing some trouble of its own.
The stock of the Hicksville, N.Y.-based lender fell 46% Wednesday after it reported a surprise net loss of $252 million for the fourth quarter and announced it slashed its dividend.
It recovered some of those losses by 11:30 a.m. ET, when it was down 34%, but it is still on track to post the largest one-day percentage drop in the stock’s history.
