However, we advise all investors to independently investigate BCB Bancorp to ensure all accessible information is consistent with the expectations about its upside potential and future expected returns. Understanding different market volatility trends often help investors to time the market. Properly using volatility indicators enable traders to measure BCB Bancorp's stock risk against market volatility during both bullish and bearish trends. The higher level of volatility that comes with bear markets can directly impact BCB Bancorp's stock price while adding stress to investors as they watch their shares' value plummet. This usually forces investors to rebalance their portfolios by buying different stocks as prices fall.

Although many of the other players in the banks—regional industry are either recovering or due for a correction, BCB Bancorp may not be performing as strong as the other in terms of long-term growth potentials. All things considered, as of the 24th of January 2023, we believe that BCB Bancorp is currently fairly valued with low probability of distress in the next two years. Our actual 90 days advice on the firm is Strong Hold.
