Here’s a look at the top-moving stocks this morning.
New York City Bancorp (NYSE: NYCB)
New York City Bancorp is down 28.18% in premarket after a series of negative announcements. The bank disclosed a massive fourth-quarter loss of $2.7 billion. CEO Thomas Cangemi departed the company. It also showed weaknesses in its internal controls. This follows a rapid expansion in 2023, including acquisitions that propelled the bank over the $100 billion asset threshold, triggering new regulatory requirements. These developments led to downgrades and concerns over the bank’s ability to integrate its acquisitions and meet regulatory standards.
NetApp (Nasdaq: NTAP)
NetApp is up 17.09% in premarket as the company lifted its annual profit forecast, benefiting from resilient demand for cloud services. This comes amid enterprises investing in high-performance storage to utilize artificial intelligence for enhancing business productivity. The company’s modern approach to unified data storage, spanning all-flash and cloud environments, is resonating well with customers. NetApp now expects its full-year 2024 adjusted profit per share to be between $6.40 and $6.50, an increase from the prior range of $6.05 to $6.25.
