The low interest rate environment has had a mixed effect on the
Savings & Loans industry. While most institutions have posted
declines in net interest income, record low mortgage rates have
helped to attract many new potential homeowners and increase
mortgage banking revenue. The Paragon Report examines investing
opportunities in the Savings & Loans industry and provides
equity research on New York Community Bancorp, Inc. (NYSE: NYB) and
People's United Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: PBCT). Access to the full

While the stock prices for many of these Savings & Loans
banks have fallen considerably over the past year, some banks pay
substantial dividends, which are attracting more investors due to
the low interest environment.
Presently New York Community Bancorp pays an annual dividend of
one dollar per share for a hefty yield of around 8.4 percent. In
the company's most recent quarterly earnings release New York
Community Bancorp CEO Joseph Ficalora said that despite "the
decline in market interest rates, the costs of regulatory change,
and the stubbornly high level of unemployment," New York Community
Bancorp remains supported by impressive loan growth and a boost in
mortgage banking income.
