Shares of Flagstar Financial, Inc. (FLG) tumbled 5.03% in intraday trading on Friday after the regional bank reported second-quarter earnings that fell short of analyst expectations.
The company posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.05, missing the consensus estimate of $0.07. While total revenue of $516 million beat the $491.61 million forecast, the bottom-line miss appeared to weigh heavily on investor sentiment. Net interest income came in at $440 million, and the company recorded a credit loss provision of $18 million, reflecting higher charge-offs and growth in its C&I loan portfolio.
Despite announcing a $250 million share repurchase program and providing full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $0.40 to $0.50, the stock declined as the market focused on the immediate quarterly earnings shortfall. The bank also reported its third consecutive quarter of profitability, but the results were not enough to offset concerns over the earnings miss.
