** Community lender BCB Bancorp's BCBP.O shares slide as much as 6.4%; last down 5.1% at $7.66

** BCBP will take an additional $15.1 million write-down on cannabis-related real estate owned property in Q4

** Separately, BCBP's Q4 results will also have $16.4 million additional net charge-offs, mainly related to its commercial and industrial loan portfolio

** One of three brokerages rates the stock "strong buy" and two "hold"; median PT $9.50 - data compiled by LSEG

** BCBP stock slumped 31.8% in 2025
