About the Lawsuit
NYCB and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.
On January 31, 2024, pre-market, the Company announced its 4Q 2023 financial results, disclosing a quarterly net loss of $252 million, due to “a $552 million provision for loan losses,” which was “primarily attributable to higher net charge-offs” and “a significant increase in the ACL [allowance for credit losses]” coverage ratio, as well as slashing its quarterly dividend to $0.05 per common share.
On this news, the price of NYCB’s shares fell $3.90, or 37.57%, to close at $6.47 per share on January 31, 2024, on unusually heavy trading volume.
The case is Lemm v. New York Community Bancorp, Inc., et al., No. 24-cv-903.
