NYCB shares rebound after troubled regional bank announces $1 billion capital raise
- SUMMARY
Struggling regional bank New York Community Bancorp has secured a $1 billion capital infusion from investment firms, including former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin’s Liberty Strategic Capital.
As part of the deal, Mnuchin and other new members will join the bank’s board.
The cash infusion is part of a leadership shake-up at NYCB, which has been facing financial challenges.
The bank’s shares had fallen sharply before the announcement, but rebounded after it was disclosed.
However, the stock remains below its January value.
The capital raise and leadership changes aim to address concerns raised about NYCB’s financial stability, similar to those that led to the failures of other regional banks in recent months.
