"New York Community Bancorp: Unraveling the Troubles and Stock Plunge"
TL;DR Summary
New York Community Bancorp's stock plummeted 38% after reporting an unexpected loss for the fourth quarter, attributed to significant charge-offs related to two loans in its portfolio. The bank is working to rebuild its capital following recent acquisitions and has slashed its dividend by 71% to meet more stringent capital requirements. While the stock may appear cheap, investors should be cautious due to lingering effects of the Federal Reserve's higher interest rate policies and concerns about the commercial real estate market. The bank's credit rating was downgraded to junk status, and it faces governance risks as it seeks to fill key executive roles.
