More News From Comstock Holding Companies, Inc.

Back to Newsroom

Shares of Comstock Holding Companies, Inc. (CHCI - Free Report) have declined 7.3% since the company reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, underperforming the S&P 500 index’s 1.4% decline during the same period. Over the past month, the stock has fallen 8.8%, compared with a 3.7% gain for the broader benchmark index.

Comstock reported first-quarter 2026 earnings per share of 19 cents, which rose from 15 cents a year earlier. 

Revenue of $17.4 million denoted a 38% rise from $12.6 million in the year-ago quarter, while net income rose 25% to $2 million from $1.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA climbed 6% year over year to $2.2 million. The company also expanded its managed portfolio to 100 assets from 76 in the prior-year period. 

Portfolio Growth and Leasing ActivityComstock continued to benefit from growth in its asset management and property management operations during the quarter. Stabilized commercial assets were 93% leased as of March 31, with seven commercial leases signed during the quarter covering about 38,000 square feet of office and retail space.

Residential assets were 94% leased, with 150 units leased during the quarter.
The company highlighted strong demand for trophy office space at Reston Station. 96% of the 1.3 million square feet of trophy-class office space across Reston Station’s five office towers is currently leased or reserved.

Comstock’s ParkX subsidiary also posted notable growth, with revenue increasing 106% from the prior year. The business secured 13 new contracts during the quarter, including five new third-party agreements.

Management Commentary and Revenue DriversChairman and Chief Executive Officer Christopher Clemente attributed the quarter’s performance to the company’s focus on strategically located mixed-use and transit-oriented assets. He said expanding assets under management have helped generate diversified recurring fee-based revenue streams while supporting long-term growth.

The company also emphasized the benefits of its debt-free balance sheet and fee-based business model. Management noted that long-term asset management agreements and vertically integrated operating subsidiaries provide recurring revenue streams and downside protection.

Adjusted EBITDA growth was primarily driven by increases in recurring fee-based revenue from Comstock’s operating property management subsidiaries and higher asset management fees tied to portfolio expansion.

Comstock also pointed to transaction-related revenue generated by acquisitions completed through its Institutional Venture Platform (“IVP”), which contributed to development pipeline growth and additional fee-based revenue opportunities.

Expansion Initiatives and Development PipelineThe company continued to expand its development and investment platforms during the quarter. In March 2026, Comstock acquired The Reed, a 417-unit multifamily property in Rockville, Md., through its IVP platform. Early in the second quarter, it also acquired Woodland Pointe, a fully leased office complex in Herndon, Va., which includes an existing 185,000-square-foot office building and a future build-to-suit office project.

Comstock also recently launched a Data Center Platform focused on joint venture opportunities tied to data center development. Management said the initiative is intended to capitalize on growing demand for data center capacity and create additional fee-based revenue opportunities.

In addition, the company expanded into mall management through its assumption of management responsibilities for Dulles Town Center in Virginia beginning May 1. The assignment includes property management, leasing, tenant relations and redevelopment evaluation services.

Other DevelopmentsComstock highlighted several operational milestones during the quarter, including a record-setting $10.3 million condominium sale at JW Marriott Residences Reston Station, surpassing the previous Virginia condominium sales record of $6 million.

The company also continues to advance major projects at The Row at Reston Station. BLVD Haley, a 419-unit luxury residential tower, remains on track for full delivery by the second quarter of 2026, while Ebbitt House — the first expansion of Washington, D.C.’s Old Ebbitt Grill — is also nearing opening.

Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd (TSX:AEM) has struck a series of deals worth about $3 billion to build a regional gold mining hub in northern Finland, sending shares of takeover targets sharply higher.

The Canadian miner said it will acquire Rupert Resources Ltd (TSE:RUP) in a share-based transaction valued at about C$2.9 billion, alongside a C$481 million cash purchase of Aurion Resources (TSX-V:AU) and a $325 million deal to buy B2Gold Corp. (TSX:BTO)’s 70% stake in Fingold Ventures.

The transactions are aimed at consolidating assets in Finland’s Central Lapland Greenstone Belt, including the Ikkari gold project located about 50 km from Agnico’s Kittila mine, its largest European operation.

Shares of Aurion jumped about 44% in Canada, while Rupert surged roughly 65% following the announcement.

Jefferies analysts said the combined transactions, valued at roughly $2.8 billion, are expected to be modestly accretive, estimating about a 2% increase to net asset value per share, helped by potential synergies of up to C$500 million.

The Rupert acquisition implies a valuation of about 0.54 times net asset value and includes contingent cash payments tied to project milestones. The deal carries a premium of about 67% to Rupert’s last closing price and is expected to close in early third quarter 2026, alongside the Aurion transaction.

The Fingold Ventures purchase is set to close earlier, in April 2026, and will give Agnico full control of the project, as Aurion owns the remaining 30% stake.

As part of the agreement, B2Gold will also enter a collaboration arrangement with Agnico focused on knowledge sharing in Nunavut, where B2Gold is advancing its Goose project.

Agnico said the deals would help establish Finland as a core production region, with output potentially rising to about 500,000 ounces per year, more than double expected 2026 production from Kittila.

Jefferies said the move underscores Agnico’s strategy of building regional platforms to unlock operational synergies, rather than pursuing geographically dispersed acquisitions.

“We favor regional consolidation, as it leads to real operational synergies versus only G&A synergies,” analysts wrote.

“In this case, there are opportunities for AEM to extend the Ikkari open pit onto the Fingold Ventures area, i.e., removing the property boundary, and the company sees up to C$500 million in operating, development, and construction synergies.”

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- B2Gold Corp.

As I reflect on our performance over this past year, the past decade, and nearly twenty years of operations, I am deeply proud of the value we have created and the way in which we have created it – through strong governance, responsible practices, and a long-term commitment to our stakeholders. We have successfully navigated dynamic changes and evolving expectations while maintaining our high standards of responsible mining, and I admire the people, past and present, who have worked tirelessly to get us to where we are today. Together, we can create enduring value for all of our stakeholders, while upholding the level of operational excellence, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility that defines B2Gold. Congratulations to all on this achievement, I look forward to B2Gold’s continued success.”

Highlights from the Tenth Annual "Raising the Bar" Responsible Mining Report and Sustainability Strategy

In 2025, B2Gold issued its inaugural Sustainability Strategy outlining the Company’s priorities and goals, driving long-term commitments and proactive impact and risk management. The Sustainability Strategy outlines the Company’s sustainability purpose and vision and identified five pillars for success including: sourcing with integrity; healthy and safe workplaces; thriving communities; nature, water and climate resilience; and responsible closure. These pillars provide actionable pathways for global teams to execute on their unique site-specific priorities, through collaboration and innovation, and build a positive legacy with the communities we serve.

Economic Contribution 

As a responsible gold miner, B2Gold aims to create and distribute economic value among its stakeholders. B2Gold’s economic performance is measured by the economic value that it generates for others, including payments to governments through taxes and royalties, local hiring and procurement and investment in communities. In 2025, B2Gold: 

Achieved total consolidated gold production of 979,604 ounces (including 14,554 ounces of pre-commercial production from the Goose Mine); Generated $3 billion in annual revenue; Paid $1 billion to governments (through taxes and royalties); Paid $344.8 million in employee wages and benefits; andInvested $14.3 million in its local communities1. 
B2Gold is committed to maximizing local and national economic benefits from its contracting and purchasing. The Company is conscious of the high priority that host communities and governments place on local procurement. In sourcing the goods and services necessary to run its operations, B2Gold gives preference to local businesses where possible, provided they meet minimum safety, quality, ethical, and cost requirements. In 2025, over $1 billion of goods and services were procured from local and host-country businesses (including companies registered with in-country subsidiaries). Several 2025 success stories are outlined in the Report. 

People 

As a reputable corporate citizen, B2Gold generates national employment and opportunities for people to develop their careers, trains employees to acquire new skills, and opens doors to women, under-represented groups and previously disadvantaged people. The Company fosters positive and productive engagement with employees, provides safe workplaces, and believes that investing in people attracts and retains talented individuals and assists in their abilities to provide for themselves, their families and their futures. 

At the end of 2025, B2Gold employed 6,3272 people across all operations. The Company continues to maintain high local employment rates by targeting recruitment efforts at regional and national levels. Across all operations, 97% of the total workforce, and 58% of Senior Management3 were comprised of national4 employees. 

B2Gold values a diverse workforce. In recent years, the Company has made significant strides in advancing its Equity, Diversity and Inclusion initiatives. In 2021, the adoption of a Diversity Policy by the Company’s Board established a target of 30% female representation on the Board and in management-level positions, underscoring its commitment to promoting and achieving gender diversity at all levels of the organization. B2Gold is pleased to report that as of the end of 2025, 40% of Company directors identify as female.

Health and Safety 

As a result of B2Gold’s focus on injury prevention, the Company is once again pleased to report that it has maintained a zero-fatality workplace for the tenth consecutive year. Additionally, B2Gold’s injury rates remained low in 2025, with a Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) of 0.09.5 This slight increase in LTIFR is primarily due to an increased risk profile from mine construction at the Back River Gold District in Nunavut and development at the Gramalote Project in Colombia. The Company’s performance reflects the period of growth and underscores the Company’s position as a top safety performer within the industry. 

In 2025, the three mature operations all achieved remarkable safety milestones. At Fekola, the team surpassed over 23 million LTI-free worker hours; at Masbate, the team achieved seven years LTI-free (over 45 million worker hours); and at Otjikoto, the team achieved the lowest TRIFR in the mine’s history. These accomplishments reflect the sustained improvements in safety performance across our operations and the dedication of our global teams to B2Gold safety culture and to ensuring every employee and contractor return HOME-SAFE.6 

Communities 

B2Gold maintains its social licence to operate by building trust-based relationships, actively engaging with stakeholders, and implementing community investment activities based on local ownership and development priorities. Highlights of the 2025 community investment programs include: 

At the Fekola Complex, B2Gold implemented its second large scale agricultural project, the 60-ha Bafarato Agricultural Project and continued its partnership with Global Affairs Canada supporting the FEMA Project. The FEMA Project aims to improve conditions for women and children living in artisanal mining communities within the Fekola Mine’s area of influence; the project was initiated in March 2022 and will continue until 2027.
At the Masbate Gold Project, investment continued to focus on education, access to health services and facilities, and programs that enhance local economic opportunities, including skills training and small enterprise support. The Training for Employment Program reached its sixth year of partnership in 2025 and remains a powerful driver of economic mobility by equipping individuals with the skills and training needed to build sustainable livelihoods.
At the Otjikoto Mine, B2Gold Namibia continues its investment activities in the Ombili Primary School in Otjiwarongo, which is expected to be completed and handed over to the Namibian Government by the end of 2026. This initiative serves as a wonderful example of how partnership can create lasting benefits that extend well beyond the mine’s operational life.
At the Back River Gold District, B2Gold Nunavut continues to strengthen its close relationships with the Kitikmeot Inuit Association and communities across Canada’s Arctic. The Company is investing in collaborative projects throughout the Kitikmeot region that promote community wellness, support youth through sports, recreation, and education, and advance initiatives focused on women and Elders. In 2025, B2Gold also committed approximately C$11 million to support the construction of modular public housing units across Kitikmeot communities in partnership with the Government of Nunavut and the Nunavut Housing Corporation, recognizing the important role that safe and adequate housing plays in supporting healthy and resilient communities. Launched in September 2025, the Kitikmeot Social Investment Program is a notable initiative that seeks to help support sustainable investments in Kitikmeot Communities with positive multi-year impacts. B2Gold Nunavut remains committed to working alongside the Kitikmeot Inuit Association to advance further initiatives that ensure the benefits of the Back River Gold District reach the communities of Cambridge Bay, Kugluktuk, Gjoa Haven, Taloyoak, and Kugaaruk.
Environment 

Our environmental strategy revolves around proactive identification, mitigation, and management of environmental impacts. In 2025, B2Gold finalized its “No Net Loss Roadmap,” which identifies opportunities to strengthen biodiversity management practices and address potential gaps related to the Company’s commitment to no net loss of critical habitat. The roadmap is intended to support site teams in identifying and managing potential impacts to critical habitat and in developing appropriate mitigation and conservation measures in collaboration with relevant stakeholders.

B2Gold remains firmly committed to reducing greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, with a target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 30% by 2030 against a 2021 baseline for its Fekola, Masbate and Otjikoto operations. Decarbonization and climate management highlights are presented in the following pages.

Approach to Reporting 

B2Gold is committed to the transparency of its sustainability risks, management and performance. The Report is aligned with the Global Reporting Initiative Sustainability Reporting Standards and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board Mining and Metals Sustainability Accounting Standard. The Company firmly believes that the mining industry has an opportunity to contribute positively to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and it has reported its contribution in this regard since 2018. 

Highlights from the 2025 Climate Strategy Report 

2025 Highlights 

B2Gold is committed to a GHG emissions reduction target of a 30% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030 against a 2021 baseline for its Fekola, Masbate and Otjikoto operations. 
The Fekola, Masbate, and Otjikoto operations developed site-specific GHG emission action plans to address the unique climate risks and decarbonization opportunities of each location, increasing site ownership and contributing to global climate targets.
The Company expanded its use of renewable energy through the commissioning of an 8.2- megawatt (“MW”) solar plant at the Masbate Gold Project that is expected to reduce GHG emissions by approximately 8,800 tonnes annually when fully operational. At the Fekola Complex, the expanded solar facility reached full operational capacity in January 2025, adding 22 MW of solar capacity (for a total capacity of 52 MW). The expanded facility supplied approximately 23% of the site’s total electricity demand in 2025.
B2Gold’s consolidated Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions increased to an estimated 757 thousand tonnes CO2e compared to 699 thousand tonnes in 2024, due to the addition of the Back River Gold District. Total Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions for Fekola, Masbate and Otjikoto were an estimated 673 thousand tonnes of CO2e in 2025 (compared with 699 thousand tonnes in 2024 for our Fekola, Masbate and Otjikoto operations). The Company’s consolidated GHG emissions intensity was 0.77 tonnes CO2e per gold ounce produced in 2025 (compared with 0.89 in 2024), a modest decrease driven primarily by an increase in total gold production.  
The proportion of electricity consumed at B2Gold operations from renewable sources was 25% in 2025 (compared with approximately 22% in 2024). At Otjikoto, the proportion of electricity consumed from renewable sources was approximately 79%.
Looking Forward – 2026 and Beyond

The list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect B2Gold's forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements are based on the applicable assumptions and factors Management considers reasonable as of the date hereof, based on the information available to Management at such time.

NON-GAAP RECONCILIATION
(Dollars in thousands except per share amounts)

The following tables below provide a reconciliation of certain financial measures calculated under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") (as reported) and non-GAAP measures. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future financial performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes or includes amounts that are required to be disclosed in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the United States. The Company’s management believes the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with a greater understanding of the Company’s operating results in addition to the results measured in accordance with GAAP. While management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance, this information should not be viewed as a substitute for financial results determined in accordance with GAAP or considered to be more important than financial results determined in accordance with GAAP.

The following non-GAAP financial measures exclude pre-tax income and expenses associated with the fair value change in equity securities and loans held for sale, loss on sale of securities and other assets, severance, net gain on extinguishment of debt and loss due to pension settlement.

Positive Points Ciena Corp CIEN reported a 40% year-on-year revenue growth, reaching $1.57 billion for the quarter.The company expanded its adjusted gross margin to 44.9%, nearly quadrupling its adjusted earnings per share to $1.64 compared to the previous year.Ciena Corp (CIEN) has a strong and growing backlog, which increased by more than $600 million sequentially to $7.7 billion, providing excellent visibility into future demand.The company announced the industry's first multi-rail order from a leading hyperscaler, validating early market demand for its RLS hyper-rail platform.Ciena Corp (CIEN) is experiencing significant growth in its Routing and Switching segment, with an 88% year-on-year revenue increase, driven by its data center out-of-band management solution (DCOM). Negative Points Ciena Corp (CIEN) is navigating a constrained supply environment, which poses challenges in meeting the strong demand for its products.Operating expenses were elevated in Q2 due to higher variable compensation, impacting the company's overall cost structure.The company faces an imbalance of supply not keeping pace with demand, requiring strategic investments to secure supply and manufacturing capacity.Ciena Corp (CIEN) is experiencing inflationary pressures in the supply chain, which could impact future gross margins.The company's growth is heavily reliant on hyperscaler customers, with two cloud providers contributing more than 10% of its revenue, indicating potential concentration risk. Q & A Highlights Q: Can you discuss the multi-rail win with the first hyperscaler customer and how it aligns with your expectations?
A: Gary Smith, CEO: The early win with the hyperscaler, achieved through co-collaboration, is strategic for them due to the deployment's nature. It enables high-intensity training over greater distances with better amplification and density. This strategic decision to standardize on hyper-rail will roll out through 2027, with deal sizes varying but generally in the hundreds of millions over multiple years. We are ahead of our adoption expectations and engaged with most major hyperscalers.

Q: How does the increase in operating expenses relate to your revenue outlook, and what is the long-term trajectory for OpEx?
A: Marc Graff, CFO: About 90% of the OpEx increase is due to higher performance in orders and revenue, leading to increased variable compensation. The remaining 10% is for investments in supply security. Despite this, we continue to deliver operating leverage, growing revenue faster than OpEx, which will strengthen EPS over time.

Q: Can you elaborate on your pricing strategy amid substantial backlog and rising input costs?
A: Marc Graff, CFO: We are focusing on value exchange, balancing supply chain risks, and optimizing product mix. We are exploring pricing opportunities across all products and have managed to mitigate inflationary impacts through engineering cost reductions. This strategy has allowed us to raise gross margin guidance for three consecutive quarters.

Q: How do you see the TAM expansion to $50 billion by 2029, and what is Ciena's ability to gain share?
A: Gary Smith, CEO: The TAM is expected to double, driven by scale across, which could be an $8-10 billion market by 2029. The long-haul metro optical transport WAN market will exceed $20 billion. We believe we can take share with technologies like hyper-rail and our modem capabilities, especially as we enter new markets inside the data center.

Q: What is the outlook for the DCOM opportunity, and how durable is this business?
A: Gary Smith, CEO: DCOM is a significant part of our routing and switching growth and is a multiyear, multifaceted application within hyperscalers and potentially beyond. It's not a one-time opportunity; we see it as a growing application with a potential TAM of $1-3 billion by 2029.

Shares of Flagstar Bank have returned +8.5% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +8.1% change. The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), indicating that it could perform in line with the broader market in the near term.

Flagstar Bank has seen two consecutive quarters of positive non-GAAP profits and recently received a Fitch credit rating upgrade to "BB". FLG is trading at a discount to tangible book value and well below all-time highs, despite rising deposits and improved credit quality. Strategic portfolio shifts include reducing CRE exposure and expanding commercial and industrial lending, with deposits rising 1.3% sequentially to reach $66.8 billion.

Key Takeaways FLG Q1 EPS of 4 cents beat estimates, aided by higher NII and no credit loss provisions; shares fell 2.2%.FLG's NII rose 8% to $443M, with NIM up 41 bps to 2.15% due to lower funding costs and balance sheet moves.FLG's non-interest income fell 31% to $55M on weaker fees, loan income, and prior mortgage servicing sales. Flagstar Bank, National Association (FLG - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings per share of 4 cents, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 3 cents. In the year-ago quarter, the company had incurred a loss of 23 cents.

Results were primarily driven by an improvement in net interest income (NII), no provision for credit losses, and lower expenses. However, a decline in non-interest income acted as a headwind. Given the concern, FLG shares lost 2.2% during Friday’s trading session.

Results excluded certain non-recurring items. After considering these, the net income available to common shareholders (GAAP basis) was $13 million against a net loss of $108 million in the prior-year quarter.

FLG’s Quarterly Revenues Rise & Expenses DeclineQuarterly revenues were $498 million, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 10.6%. The metric rose 2% from the prior-year quarter.

NII was $443 million, up 8% year over year. The net interest margin (NIM) of 2.15% expanded 41 basis points from the year-ago quarter, driven by a lower cost of funds and balance sheet repositioning.

Non-interest income was $55 million, which declined 31% from the year-ago quarter. The decrease was mainly due to lower fee income, reduced loan-related income, and the impact of prior mortgage servicing business sales.

Non-interest expenses of $466 million decreased 12% year over year. Adjusted operating expenses were $441 million, down 9% from the first quarter of 2025, reflecting lower compensation, FDIC insurance, and general administrative costs.

Flagstar Financial’s Loans Decrease & Deposits IncreaseTotal loans and leases held for investment declined nearly 1% sequentially to $60.4 billion as of March 31, 2026. As of the same date, total deposits increased 1% sequentially to $66.8 billion.

FLG’s Credit Quality: Improving TrendNon-accrual loans were $2.7 billion, which decreased from $3.3 billion as of March 31, 2025. Net charge-offs were $78 million, which declined 32% from the prior-year quarter.

The company recorded nil provisions for credit losses compared with $79 million recorded in the year-ago quarter.

Flagstar Financial’s Capital Ratios StrengthenAs of March 31, 2026, the common equity tier 1 ratio was 13.24% compared with 11.90% as of March 31, 2025. The total risk-based capital ratio increased to 16.69% from 15.25% in the prior-year quarter.

The leverage capital ratio rose to 9.61% from 8.45% a year ago, reflecting improved capital strength.

Our View on FLGFlagstar Financial’s continued reduction in commercial real estate exposure and improving credit quality remain encouraging. While lower non-interest income and balance sheet contraction persist as concerns, solid C&I loan growth, margin expansion, declining credit costs, and disciplined expense management supported another quarter of profitability. Notably, recent credit rating upgrades by Fitch and Moody’s reflect improving confidence in the bank’s balance sheet strength, profitability outlook, and ongoing business transformation. Continued execution on balance sheet optimization and revenue diversification will be key to sustaining this positive momentum.

Flagstar Bank, National Association Price, Consensus and EPS SurpriseZions Bancorporation (ZION - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2026 earnings of $1.56 per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.43. Moreover, the bottom line surged 38% from the year-ago quarter.

Results were primarily aided by higher net interest income and growth in fee-based income. Higher loan and deposit balances, along with a provision benefit, provided additional support. However, a rise in non-interest expenses was a headwind for ZION.

“There's nothing special,” he said. “It's not making all that much money, it doesn't have that big of a dividend."

On the earnings front, Flagstar Financial, on April 24, posted first-quarter adjusted earnings of 4 cents per share, beating market estimates of 3 cents per share. The company's sales came in at $498.00 million, missing expectations of $520.49 million.

Flagstar Bank, National Association NYSE: FLG executives said the company has made significant progress stabilizing its balance sheet and repositioning its business model, while acknowledging that the turnaround remains a work in progress.

Speaking at an investor conference, Chairman and CEO Joseph Otting said that when current leadership arrived in March 2024, the bank faced “capital issues, liquidity issues, credit issues, and regulatory issues.” Otting said the company’s common equity tier 1 ratio now stands at 13.2%, while liquidity has increased to $27.5 billion from $6.5 billion.

“We really built now a solid risk governance structure that we're proud of,” Otting said, adding that the bank believes it is positioned to meet enhanced regulatory standards regardless of where they ultimately land.

Balance Sheet Shift Toward C&I Lending Otting said Flagstar is working toward a balance sheet mix of roughly one-third commercial real estate, one-third commercial and industrial lending, and one-third consumer cash flows, including mortgage-backed securities. The strategy follows what executives described as an overconcentration in multifamily lending, particularly rent-regulated multifamily exposure in New York.

The company has been building out its commercial banking platform, with Otting saying the bank has generated more than $2 billion of new loan outstandings in each of the past two quarters. He said Rich Raffetto, who joined the company to help lead the effort, has recruited more than 300 people into the strategy.

Lee Smith, Flagstar’s chief financial officer, said the bank had largely stepped back from originating new commercial real estate loans from March 2024 through the end of 2025 because it was overweight the asset class. He said CRE concentration to capital has declined from more than 500% in the first quarter of 2024 to about 365%.

Smith said the bank has begun originating new CRE loans again, but with a focus on “good quality” credits in areas such as the Midwest, South Florida and California, emphasizing short-duration, floating-rate loans rather than fixed-rate multifamily exposure in New York City.

Deposit Growth and Ratings Upgrades Otting said recent ratings upgrades have helped open the door to deeper commercial relationships, particularly with customers that had policies limiting deposits above FDIC insurance thresholds unless a bank met certain ratings standards.

He said Flagstar is adding about 75 new commercial and corporate banking customers per quarter. The bank reported $1.1 billion of core deposit growth in the first quarter, which Otting said occurred before the ratings increase.

Executives also said commercial lending is helping drive deposits. Otting said an ideal outcome would be for the bank to gather deposits equal to 30% to 40% of each loan made in the commercial sector. Smith said the bank currently has about a 90% loan-to-deposit ratio and expects to fund loan growth with deposits as it moves through 2026 and into early 2027.

CRE Runoff, Rent-Regulated Exposure and Credit Trends Otting said the bank originally modeled $600 million to $800 million of quarterly commercial real estate payoffs, but recent quarters have run closer to $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion. He said market liquidity has supported the reduction in real estate exposure, with agency lenders accounting for about half of the payoffs.

Smith said the faster runoff has reduced earning assets and created near-term pressure on net interest income and net interest margin. However, he said the broader strategy remains intact and may only shift the timing of certain targets from late 2027 into early 2028 if C&I growth needs additional time to replace CRE runoff.

On New York rent-regulated multifamily loans, Smith said the bank has about $8.8 billion of loans tied to properties that are more than 50% rent-regulated. He said Flagstar modeled a three-year rent freeze beginning in October, with operating costs rising 2.75% annually and market rents rising 2.1% annually.

Smith said the analysis showed little to no impact on net operating income for buildings that are 70% or less rent-regulated, because market-rate units could offset the rent freeze. For buildings that are more than 70% rent-regulated, he said the modeled NOI impact over three years was 7% to 8%.

Smith said $4.6 billion of the $8.8 billion book is pass-rated with a debt service coverage ratio of 1.5%, while the remaining $4.2 billion in criticized and classified loans has more than $500 million of charge-offs and allowance for credit loss coverage against it. He said the bank feels “more than adequately covered.”

Technology, AI and Expense Initiatives Executives also highlighted technology investments and cost reduction efforts. Otting said the bank has consolidated six legacy data centers into two co-location centers and aims to move from two core systems to one by the second quarter of next year.

Smith said that core consolidation is expected to generate $40 million to $45 million in annualized cost savings. He also cited additional opportunities from vendor expense reductions, real estate optimization, lower FDIC expenses and IT projects coming online over the next 18 months.

Smith said the company has taken more than $700 million of costs out while also investing in C&I banking, risk infrastructure and technology. He said the bank’s efficiency ratio target is 50% to 55%, while Otting is pushing the organization toward 50%.

On artificial intelligence, Smith said Flagstar has built a proprietary internal AI platform called StarIQ, which is available to all 5,400 employees. He said about 83% to 84% of employees use it regularly, and that the tool can analyze company records, policies and procedures, as well as assist with presentations and marketing materials.

Capital Returns Under Consideration Otting said the bank is on a “fun side of the mountain” with respect to capital after earlier challenges. He said the company has roughly $1.6 billion to $1.7 billion of excess capital based on current levels, though management is still focused on sustained profitability, continued loan portfolio improvement and the balance between C&I growth and CRE payoff activity.

Once those factors are further evaluated, Otting said management will make a recommendation to the board on what to do with excess capital. He noted that at or below tangible book value, a buyback would be “very attractive.”

Otting also offered a favorable view of the current regulatory environment, saying regulators are moving toward “sensible and logical regulation” and focusing more on end results such as capital and liquidity rather than prescribing specific processes.

This level of overvaluation indicates that investors might be paying a premium for the stock relative to its intrinsic value. The GF Valuation label categorizes Flagstar Bank as significantly overvalued, highlighting the potential risks for both new and existing shareholders. A stock priced well above its intrinsic value may not provide a sufficient margin of safety for investors, increasing the likelihood of a price correction in the future.

GF Value™ is GuruFocus' proprietary measure of intrinsic value, calculated from historical trading multiples, past business growth, and future performance estimates. Given the current valuation, investors should proceed with caution, as the price may not accurately reflect the company's long-term performance potential.
