On Friday, New York Community Bancorp (NYSE:NYCB) had its stock price target reduced by DA Davidson from $5.00 to $4.00, while the firm kept a Neutral rating on the stock. This adjustment follows recent disclosures by NYCB, which have raised concerns over the company's internal controls and leadership changes.
NYCB recently released two 8K filings after the market closed. The first disclosure revealed that the company's management had identified a material weakness in its internal controls. The assessment of these controls has not yet been completed.
The second 8K detailed a significant leadership transition. On February 23, Tom Cangemi stepped down as CEO and President, although he will continue to serve as a board member. Sandro DiNello was appointed as the new president and CEO on February 29, after being named Executive Chairman earlier on February 6.
The firm from DA Davidson noted that the bank's stock is currently disconnected from its fundamentals, trading at a price to tangible book value (P/TBV) of 0.36X. In light of the increased risks stemming from the internal control issues and the management changes, the firm has adjusted its target P/TBV down to 0.3X from the previous 0.4X.
The price target revision reflects the heightened uncertainty surrounding New York Community Bancorp (NASDAQ:CTBI)'s operations. The company's internal challenges and executive shakeup have influenced the analyst's outlook, prompting a conservative valuation approach. The new target price represents the firm's current view of the stock's value in the face of these recent developments.
