Shares of New York Community Bancorp (NYCB) are trading higher during Wednesday's morning trading session, boosted by the bank's announcement of a loan sale. The regional lender has reached an agreement to sell approximately $5 billion worth of loans to JPMorgan Chase (JPM). This strategic move, as stated by the bank's CEO, is directly linked to efforts aimed at "improving our capital liquidity and loan-to-deposit metrics."

JPMorgan Chase is once again providing a lift to another troubled regional lender a year after it helped calm a banking crisis. This time, it's NYCB.
The asset manager previously held about 1.5 million shares in the regional lender worth about $15 million at the end of fourth quarter of 2023. The fund had increased its position in NYCB in the fourth quarter of 2023 before the troubled lender's stock rout. NYCB shares have plummeted 64% so far this year after it posted a surprise fourth-quarter loss and slashed its dividend in January wiping billions of its market value.
