NYCB Faces Extended Losses, Delays Profitability to 2026
The bank's struggles with commercial real estate exposure lead to a fourth consecutive quarterly loss and a revised profit timeline.
- New York Community Bancorp reported a net loss of $289 million, or 79 cents per share, in the third quarter, falling short of analysts' expectations.
- The bank's profitability goal has been pushed back to 2026 due to ongoing challenges in the commercial real estate sector.
- Provisions for credit losses increased significantly to $242 million, reflecting heightened risk in the real estate market.
- Net interest income dropped 42% year-over-year, affected by higher interest-bearing liabilities and increased costs of funds.
- NYCB has undertaken cost-cutting measures, including job cuts and asset sales, to stabilize its financial position.
