Regional Bank Stocks Are Taking A Beating Thursday: What's Going On?
Portfolio Pulse from Adam Eckert
Regional bank stocks, including New York Community Bancorp Inc (NASDAQ:NYCB), are experiencing significant declines after NYCB reported disappointing financial results and cut its quarterly dividend. This has raised concerns about the health of the banking sector, especially following the collapse of Signature Bank, which NYCB acquired certain assets from. The SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (NYSE:KRE) and other regional banks like Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp (NYSE:MCB), Western Alliance Bancorp (NYSE:WAL), and Valley National Bancorp (NASDAQ:VLY) also saw sharp declines. The banking sector's vulnerability is partly attributed to significant exposure to commercial real estate, with a substantial amount of debt needing refinancing soon.
