Pomerantz LLP Probes Metropolitan Bank Holding Over Financial Disclosures
Shares of Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. tumbled nearly 9% in late July after the firm reported second-quarter results that missed analyst expectations. Now, Pomerantz LLP is investigating whether the company or its leadership engaged in securities fraud or unlawful business practices during the period leading up to the decline.
The investigation follows a July 21 disclosure where the bank revealed that revenue and GAAP net income failed to meet market projections. Metropolitan also reported that its provisioning for credit losses surged to $13.3 million, more than doubling from previous periods. Management linked this spike to issues surrounding a single commercial and industrial loan alongside the charge-off of a commercial real estate asset.
Following the announcement, Metropolitan’s stock price dropped $8.88 per share to close at $90.19 on July 22. Investors impacted by these developments are encouraged to contact Danielle Peyton at Pomerantz LLP to discuss potential legal recourse. The firm, a long-standing player in securities litigation, currently reviews whether shareholders were misled by the company’s corporate conduct or representations regarding its financial health.
