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.
