Valley National's Providence deal is set to accelerate Chicago franchise growth through stronger deposits, a broader branch network and greater wealth-management scale.

NEW YORK and SOUTH HOLLAND, Ill., Aug. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Valley National Bancorp (“Valley”) (NASDAQ: VLY) and Providence Financial Corporation (“Providence”) announced today that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement whereby Valley will acquire Providence, parent company of Providence Bank & Trust. The acquisition is a continuation of Valley's recent investments to accelerate retail and small business growth, which began with the hiring of Patrick Smith as President of Consumer Banking in September 2025. Consistent with Valley's strategic focus to enhance its funding profile and expand in attractive target markets, Providence provides an attractive and established physical delivery channel in the Chicagoland area to supplement Valley's existing commercial presence in the market.

Valley National Bancorp continues to strengthen, with improving yield spreads and record net interest income since 2019. I favor the VLYPN Series C preferred shares for income investors, given their 8.05% yield and call protection until 2029. VLY has achieved robust loan and deposit growth, maintaining a loan-to-deposit ratio below 96% for eight consecutive quarters.

Valley National misses Q2 earnings estimates on higher expenses, while higher NII and non-interest income, and lower provisions offer support.

The Fed's recent hawkish pivot sharply increased interest rates, negatively impacting most income sectors. CMT preferreds emerge as a compelling sub-sector, offering potential protection against rising long-term rates. Screening CMT preferreds by reset yield and yield-to-call can help identify attractive opportunities.

Valley National Bancorp NASDAQ: VLY reported second-quarter 2026 earnings that management said reflected continued progress in deposit gathering, relationship-based lending, fee income growth and operating efficiency.
