Investigation of Banc of California by Pomerantz Law Firm
In a notable move, Pomerantz LLP has initiated an investigation on behalf of investors of Banc of California, Inc. (NYSE: BANC) after the company reported shocking financial results for the second quarter of 2026. This investigation aims to determine any potential engagement by Banc of California and its officials in securities fraud or other illegal business conduct.
On July 29, 2026, Banc of California released its quarterly financial results, revealing a staggering net loss of $251.3 million, translating to a loss of $1.61 per share. This result was a severe blow to investors and fell far below analysts' expectations, who had forecasted a gain of $0.40 per share. The company attributed this considerable loss to a restructuring of its balance sheet. As part of this restructuring, Banc of California sold off $2.3 billion worth of lower-yielding securities and redeployed more than half of that amount into higher-yielding, shorter-duration securities.
Additionally, the company announced plans to sell $827 million in certain commercial real estate loans and multifamily construction loans as part of its strategy. In the wake of this disturbing report, Banc of California's stock saw a dramatic drop, declining by $2.59 per share or 12.23% to close at $18.59 per share that same day. This drop prompted significant concern among investors, leading Pomerantz LLP to take action.
