New York Community Bancorp says its board of directors has approved a one-for-three reverse stock split expected to become effective in mid-to-late July.
An investment from a group that included former U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's Liberty Strategic Capital stabilized the stock, but trading remains rangebound. NYCB shares dipped nearly 2% before the bell on Thursday. Reverse stock splits typically boost prices by reducing the number of outstanding shares.
The biggest US banks proved to the Fed they would all be able to withstand a severe global recession, demonstrating strength while they push regulators to adjust a set of proposed capital rules.
