This was echoed by <em>SA Analyst Patrik Mackovych<\/em> in his May 30th analysis:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<p>the FDIC must identify a financially sound and secure institution. If the acquirer selects solid assets after completing these steps, these types of transactions <strong>can result in significant growth for the acquirer<\/strong>. Typically, the bank <strong>obtained a large proportion of healthy assets and liabilities at a substantial discount<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Rating Methodology<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Our rating consists of evaluating 5 areas: dividend yield, valuation &amp; price chart trends, the company&#8217;s revenue &amp; geographic diversification, capital &amp; liquidity strength, and whether the current macro environment helps or hurts their business. Each category is worth 20 points. A total score of 60 is a hold rating, below 60 is a sell, above 60 is a buy. A 100% would be a strong buy.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">A Dividend Yield at 6.5%<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">One glance at Seeking Alpha&#8217;s dividend info for this stock, and what grabs my attention is the almost <strong>6.5% dividend yield<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/58572054-16876094860173247.jpg\" alt=\"New York Community Bancorp - Dividends\" width=\"640\" height=\"317\" contenteditable=\"false\" data-width=\"640\" data-height=\"317\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">New York Community Bancorp &#8211; Dividends (Seeking Alpha)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In addition, for the dividend investor, what is notable is this bank has managed to keep its annual dividend of $0.68 the same for 5 years, without cutting it or stopping quarterly payments to shareholders. This tells me it has the capacity to return capital back to shareholders on a regular basis, which is a positive sign going forward as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/58572054-16876096988115535.jpg\" alt=\"NYCB - 5 years dividend growth\" width=\"640\" height=\"283\" contenteditable=\"false\" data-width=\"640\" data-height=\"283\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">NYCB &#8211; 5 years dividend growth (Seeking Alpha)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In comparison with two of its listed peers, <em>First Horizon<\/em> (FHN) and <em>Cullen\/Frost Bankers<\/em> (CFR), the latter being the parent company of Texas&#8217; <em>Frost Bank<\/em>, this stock wins among the three on dividend yield. Consider that the dividend yield for First Horizon is 5.45%, and for Cullen\/Frost it is a dividend yield of 3.36%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Therefore, <strong>yes<\/strong> I think this stock is competitive among peers as a stock to add to one&#8217;s dividend-income portfolio.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">An Undervaluation Opportunity waiting on next Price Dip<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Next, let&#8217;s talk valuation. The data I am referencing is the forward <em>Price to Earnings Ratio<\/em> and the forward <em>Price to Book Ratio<\/em>, taken from <em>Seeking Alpha<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">I am tracking the P\/E, which is currently at <strong>2.73<\/strong>, and has gotten an A+ grade from Seeking Alpha, as well as being almost 70% below the median for this sector. In addition, it is far below the S&amp;P 500 median P\/E of 14.93.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/58572054-16876102833855987.jpg\" alt=\"NYCB - P\/E ratio\" width=\"640\" height=\"209\" contenteditable=\"false\" data-width=\"640\" data-height=\"209\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">NYCB &#8211; P\/E ratio (Seeking Alpha)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">When it comes to tracking the P\/B ratio, it is currently below 1.0, which is the benchmark I use to gauge under or overvaluation. In this case, it is undervalued at a <strong>P\/B of 0.71<\/strong> and also 25% lower than the median for its sector.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/58572054-16876104672664635.jpg\" alt=\"NYCB - PB ratio\" width=\"514\" height=\"114\" contenteditable=\"false\" data-width=\"514\" data-height=\"114\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">NYCB &#8211; PB ratio (Seeking Alpha)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Although the stock appears undervalued, next let&#8217;s look at the current price chart as of the last market close.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Below, is the price chart for this stock as of market close on <em>Friday June 23rd,<\/em> with a <strong>last close at $10.47<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/58572054-16876108276387498.jpg\" alt=\"NYCB - price chart June 23\" width=\"640\" height=\"295\" contenteditable=\"false\" data-width=\"640\" data-height=\"295\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">NYCB &#8211; price chart June 23 (StreetSmartEdge trading platform from Charles Schwab)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In this chart, I am tracking the <em>50 day SMA<\/em> (blue line) vs the <em>200 day SMA<\/em> (red line), as in my prior analyses, and following where the 50 day crosses above or below the 200 day, and formation of lagging indicators of bullish or bearish trends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In looking at this chart, if an investor had bought during the March dip at around $7, by now they could have realized a near 50% gain on those shares.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">By now, it is trading well above its 200 day SMA and looks to me to be overbought somewhat, although the price could be reversing downward again as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">So although its P\/E and P\/B valuations look great, <strong>no<\/strong> I don&#8217;t think the current price is the best value although it is not bad either.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">I prefer for another dip to occur and <em>death cross<\/em> formation, to add some of this stock to an existing portfolio of bank stocks that include some of the big banks as well in order to spread portfolio risk, limiting exposure to regionals at this time to only a certain percentage of a portfolio.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">A Bank With Revenue &amp; Geographic Diversification<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Sometimes the phrase &#8220;regional bank&#8221; can be misleading, especially when some regionals have been penetrating broader markets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">This seems to be the case with this bank. Although it has deep roots in the New York City area, its major subsidiary Flagstar Bank has over 400 branches &#8220;including strong footholds in the Northeast and Midwest and exposure to high growth markets in the Southeast and West Coast&#8221;, according to company commentary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Other notable geographic mentions are: the Company is the second-largest multi-family portfolio lender in the country, the industry&#8217;s 6th largest sub-servicer of mortgage loans nationwide, 2nd largest mortgage warehouse lender nationally based on total commitments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In terms of revenue diversification, although interest income is the primary bread &amp; butter for this company, they also have been doing well with non-interest income as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">For instance, based on company info, some of their non interest income includes gain loan sales, net return on mortgage servicing rights, and net loan administration income, all of which have improved QoQ.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/58572054-16876155713009648.jpg\" alt=\"NYCB - Q1 results - non interest income\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" contenteditable=\"false\" data-width=\"640\" data-height=\"355\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">NYCB &#8211;

Higher Interest Rates<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">This bank, like many others, have benefited from interest income, and the environment of higher rates. The latest sentiment from rate traders, based on <em>CME Fedwatch<\/em> data, is another rate hike in July:<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/58572054-16876231161292439.jpg\" alt=\"CME Fedwatch - rate hike probability\" width=\"640\" height=\"339\" contenteditable=\"false\" data-width=\"640\" data-height=\"339\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">CME Fedwatch &#8211; rate hike probability (CME Fedwatch)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">I would argue this bank has benefited from this extended period of high interest rates due to Fed decisions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Consider that from their Q1 results, their <strong>NII rose 46% QoQ<\/strong>, and <strong>NIM was up 32 bp QoQ<\/strong>.

As an equities analyst, this is a positive sign to look forward to as someone covering the banking sector.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Risks to my Outlook<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">One potential risk to my bullish outlook on this stock is that Wall Street grows concerned about the <em>credit risk<\/em> exposure this bank has on its books, and jittery investors avoid buying this bank for that reason. The other potential risk is the amount of uninsured deposits this bank holds, since as we saw in March those types of deposits are more prone to bank runs, after the <em>Silicon Valley Bank<\/em> failure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In terms of the credit risk, I can say from the company&#8217;s own recent quarterly remarks that they seem to be managing well, with non performing loans barely 0.20% of total, and <strong>no net charge-offs in Q1<\/strong>, along with a declining trend in net charge-offs since Q12022.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/58572054-16876163631916928.jpg\" alt=\"NYCB - asset quality\" width=\"640\" height=\"117\" contenteditable=\"false\" data-width=\"640\" data-height=\"117\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">NYCB &#8211; asset quality (NYCB)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In terms of uninsured deposits, according to the bank&#8217;s quarterly presentation: &#8220;uninsured deposits, net of collateralized deposits, total $28.7 billion or approximately <strong>34% of total deposits<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">So, over 60% of their deposits are insured.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">By contrast, according to a Time magazine story, &#8220;more than 85% of the bank&#8217;s (Silicon Valley Bank) deposits were uninsured, according to estimates in a recent regulatory filing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">My counterargument to a jittery Wall Street, therefore, is that although credit &amp; deposit risk are important things to keep an eye on in the next few quarters at the regional banks, at this time it appears those risks are under control at this specific bank, and it is also not exposed to the level of uninsured deposits that led to some of the spring bank failures.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In conclusion, my rating of <strong>Buy<\/strong> is in line with the sentiment of Seeking Alpha analysts as well as Wall Street which both gave this stock a Buy rating, as shown below, but my rating is more bullish than Seeking Alpha&#8217;s quant system which gave it a <em>Hold<\/em> rating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">\n<figure class=\"regular-img-figure\" contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifintechworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/58572054-1687617730524234.jpg\" alt=\"Comparison of ratings\" width=\"307\" height=\"165\" contenteditable=\"false\" data-width=\"307\" data-height=\"165\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/picture><figcaption>\n<p class=\"item-caption\">Comparison of ratings (Seeking Alpha)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">To reiterate, my rating is not a <em>Strong Buy<\/em> because I think there could be a price-dip opportunity if one waits for the next death cross formation, as I like this stock in the under $10 range.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">This bank&#8217;s positives are dividend yield at 6.5%, strong capital, undervaluation on P\/E and P\/B, revenue &amp; geographic diversification, and a favorable interest rate environment from a macro perspective as long as the Fed keeps rates the same or higher for a longer period&#8230; helping drive NII and NIM.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">The bank&#8217;s price chart from Friday shows it trading well above its 200 day SMA, however, which is starting to make it look overbought.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall-full-content invisible no-summary-bullets\">In closing, this is yet another of the regionals I added to my watchlist because it has strong financial fundamentals along with potential value buying opportunity, and the dividend yield itself is great reason to add a modest position in this stock to an existing portfolio of dividend-income bank stocks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/seekingalpha.com\/article\/4613522-new-york-community-bancorp-high-dividend-yield-buy-opportunity-regional-banks?source=feed_all_articles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview In the wake of the failure of Signature Bank (OTCPK:SBNY) this spring, one regional bank emerged to take it over, under the watchful eyes &amp; coordination of the FDIC, and now is worth keeping on an investor watchlist in my opinion.
