Factset chart
The stock was temporarily halted for volatility as it fell about 48%, putting it just above $3 a share. It’s on pace for yet another record low, based on Dow Jones Market Data going back to 2010.
For the year, the stock is down more than 97%.
The declines come as federal regulators released their postmortems of their oversight of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank today.
For more on why a buyer hasn’t emerged to rescue First Republic, read the Journal’s Telis Demos. As one analyst put it: “It might cost you $30 billion of capital to buy the bank for free.”
