As of Jun 18, 2026. Market Open.
Last week she was going to sell this, but this morning she woke to see the game has completely changed. (Shares soaring 32%.) One bank's loss is another's gain. Signature Bank is hugely accretive to NY Comm's earnings with total book value rising 15%. NY is paying down debt, reducing reliance on costlier wholesale borrowing and the yield is capital neutral, so there's no need to raise capital.
NYCB is the second largest multi-family portfolio lender in the US, it trades at 8x earnings, under book value and supports an ROE of 30%. We like that cash reserves are growing, while retiring debt and buying back shares. It pays a good dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 20% of cash flow. We recommend a stop-loss at $10, looking to achieve $15 -- upside potential over 21%. Yield 5.6%
(Analysts’ price target is $15.34)
