Summary
First Republic Bank's stock dropped sharply as it seems increasingly likely that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) will take the troubled bank into receivership. The bank's stock has fallen 97% this year, with most of the losses coming after investors lost confidence in the bank following the failure of two regional lenders in March. The FDIC is reportedly asking other banks for potential bids on First Republic if the regulator were to seize the bank. However, there is still hope for a solution that doesn't include receivership, according to sources. First Republic is a regional bank that has focused on high net worth individuals and their businesses.
