BCB Bancorp announced an underwritten public offering of common stock to support liquidity and fund the disposition of problem loans. The company also disclosed a significant credit deterioration, marketing approximately $210 million in classified problem loans for sale and transferring an additional $96 million of commercial real estate and cannabis-related loans to held-for-sale status. Consequently, BCB expects a third-quarter 2026 provision for credit losses between $112 million and $120 million, including an $87 million pre-tax loss on anticipated loan sales. A $50 million valuation allowance was recorded against net deferred tax assets due to cumulative losses. The company projects a net loss of $126.2 million to $136.1 million for the quarter. BCB Bancorp operates as a bank holding company providing retail and commercial banking services in New Jersey and New York.
