Flushing Financial Corporation Stock News

NEW YORK, Dec. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc., a leading specialist investment bank to the financial services and fintech sectors, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Stifel Financial Corp. (NYSE: SF), announces the upcoming index rebalancing for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Flushing Financial, a New York-based commercial real estate lender, is seeking to raise $70 million to shore up its capital, CNBC has learned. The bank's CEO, John Buran, has told potential investors that he intends to sell low-yielding bonds and loans backed by commercial real estate, including multifamily building loans, moves that would generate a loss and necessitate the sale of fresh stock...

The upcoming reinvestment of low-yielding loans and the rolling over of high-cost deposits will boost the net interest margin. Loan growth will likely remain weak due to New York's economy. FFIC is offering a dividend yield of 5.4%. Although the implied payout ratio is quite high at 85%, I don't think the company will cut its dividend.

Flushing Financial's earnings are under pressure due to increased interest expenses and loss on fair value adjustments in Q1 2024. Despite weak Q1 results, the bank's loan book quality remains strong with low LTV ratios and manageable past due loans. The bank is expected to see an increase in net interest income as loans are repriced, leading to a potential positive impact on the bottom line.

Loan growth will improve after the first quarter's dismal performance. New York's recent economic recovery will likely drive loan growth. The net interest margin will most probably stabilize soon as deposit migration will wane. FFIC is offering an attractive dividend yield of 6.7%. There is a risk of a dividend cut. However, most probably FFIC will ride out 2024 without any dividend cuts.
