On Monday, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods adjusted its outlook on New York Community Bancorp (NYSE:NYCB), decreasing the share price target to $3.75 from $7.50. The firm maintained a Market Perform rating on the bank's stock. This revision follows a significant and costly capital raise by NYCB last week, which was deemed essential for strengthening the company's balance sheet and rebuilding investor trust.
The analyst from Keefe, Bruyette & Woods highlighted the capital raise's impact on the bank's future, noting the shift in focus to NYCB's earning potential. Projections now estimate a 6.2% return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) for the year 2025, which justifies a price-to-tangible book value (P/TBV) of approximately 55%, equating to $3.75 per share.
The report further suggests that NYCB's stock is likely to remain within a narrow range in the near term, specifically between $3.00 and $4.00 per share. Investors and analysts are now looking ahead to the upcoming 10-K filing deadline on March 15, which will provide a detailed view of the bank's financials. Moreover, a strategic update expected in late April will be a significant event for the company, potentially offering insights into NYCB's future direction and strategy.
