OceanFirst Financial Will Likely Call Its Preferred Shares
OceanFirst Financial's Q4 performance was weaker than expected due to higher loan loss provisions, resulting in a lower net income of $21.9M. The preferred stock remains attractive with a current yield of 6.97%, but investors should be cautious of potential calls due to high future dividend costs. Management is considering partial redemption of preferred shares to manage capital costs. A full call would boost EPS on common shares by $0.10 annually.
