We've been asking ourselves recently if the market has placed a fair valuation on New York Community Bancorp. Let's dive into some of the fundamental values of this mid-cap Finance company to determine if there might be an opportunity here for value-minded investors.
New York Community Bancorp Has Attractive P/B and P/E Ratios:
New York Community Bancorp, Inc. operates as the bank holding company for Flagstar Bank, N. The company belongs to the Finance sector, which has an average price to earnings (P/E) ratio of 14.34 and an average price to book (P/B) ratio of 1.57. In contrast, New York Community Bancorp has a trailing 12 month P/E ratio of 2.4 and a P/B ratio of 0.63.
When we divide New York Community Bancorp's P/E ratio by its expected EPS growth rate of the next five years, we obtain its PEG ratio of -24.4. Since it's negative, the company has negative growth expectations, and most investors will probably avoid the stock unless it has an exceptionally low P/E and P/B ratio.
