Northeast Community Bancorp Gains After Shareholders Approve 2026 Equity Plan
NorthEast Community Bancorp shares moved up in midday trading Wednesday, outpacing regional banks. The company said shareholders signed off on a new equity incentive plan. The stock rose 14 cents to $24.39. Latest quote showed 8,764 shares had changed hands. The timing stands out since the move landed during a normal Nasdaq session, just two days after U.S. markets shut for Memorial Day. It also came less than a day after the White Plains, New York lender filed a Form 8-K with results from its annual meeting. According to Nasdaq’s 2026 calendar, Memorial Day on May 25 was a market holiday, while the next full closure isn’t until Juneteenth on June 19.
