What the filing says
ConnectOne Bancorp completed a strategic balance sheet restructuring in Q3 2026, agreeing to sell approximately $750M in unpaid principal of non-relationship multifamily loans (61% NYC rent-stabilized) to a single purchaser, with closing expected in late October 2026. The sale triggered a $23.0M pretax loss recorded in Q3, plus an anticipated $7–8M in transaction costs in Q4. Net income fell to $29.9M (vs. $40.2M in Q2 2026 and $39.5M in Q3 2025), and diluted EPS dropped to $0.59 (vs. $0.80 and $0.78 respectively), though operating metrics strengthened: operating PPNR exceeded 2% of average assets and operating ROE topped 15%.
Why this rating
Sale is ~6.8% of total assets (~$1.1B market cap). Reduces concentrations and improves liquidity, but one-time loss offsets strong underlying operations. Modest relative to company size.
