WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces an investigation of potential securities claims on behalf of shareholders of Provident Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: PVBC), the holding company for BankProv formerly known as The Provident Bank, resulting from allegations that Provident Bancorp may have issued materially misleading business information to the investing public.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Provident Bancorp securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. The Rosen Law Firm is preparing a class action seeking recovery of investor losses.

WHAT IS THIS ABOUT: On November 15, 2022, after market hours, Provident Bancorp announced that it would be unable to timely file its quarterly report for its third quarter 2022, but disclosed that it currently estimates a net loss of approximately $27.5 million. The Company explained that is still evaluating the actual level of losses “due to the recent decline in the cryptocurrency mining industry.”
