New York Community Bancorp shares concluded with a 6.7% increase, subsequent to Moody’s downgrade of its credit rating to junk. The shares have plummeted approximately 31% in February alone, following an unexpected fourth-quarter loss and a reduction in dividend amid escalating commercial real estate losses. This steep decline comes amid ongoing concerns about the bank’s exposure to troubled commercial real estate loans.

The bank closed at $4.48 on Feb. 7, according to data from Yahoo Finance. The performance of the bank has sparked concerns, particularly given that NYCB acquired the failed crypto bank Signature last year its current share price levels approach those seen in 1997.
