Profile

OceanFirst Financial Corp.OCFCFinancials

Provides commercial real estate, business, residential, and consumer lending, funded mainly by deposits. The franchise is concentrated in New Jersey, New York, Long Island, and nearby Northeast markets; management reports one consolidated banking segment.

Offers commercial real estate, commercial-and-industrial, residential, and consumer lending through OceanFirst Bank, with deposits as the main funding base. Fee lines include treasury management, trust and fiduciary services, deposit-account charges, mortgage banking, bankcard services, and swap income.

Operates as one consolidated banking segment, not separate reported divisions. The footprint is concentrated in New Jersey, New York, Long Island, Philadelphia, and other Northeast and Mid-Atlantic metro markets after the Flushing merger.

Competes through local-market presence, digital channels, service speed, broader products, and larger credits. Earnings and liquidity depend on interest rates, deposit flows, loan demand, commercial real estate credit, technology competition, integration work, and banking regulation.

Ownership

Institutions 137.93%Insiders 18.96%

A 13F quarter can total more than the shares outstanding — sub-advisers file the same block twice, and a filer's own share count can be a quarter stale. No split is drawn from it.

Shares outstanding 60.29M · Float

Float — provider float is below the insider stake.

The provider's float is smaller than the insider stake it should exclude, so it is not shown.
