New Century falls on bankruptcy rumors-analysts

NEW YORK, March 8 (Reuters) - New Century Financial Corp. <NEW.N> shares fell as much as 34.1 percent Thursday on market speculation that the subprime mortgage lender would seek Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, analysts said.

Laura Oberhelman, a spokeswoman for Irvine, California-based New Century, said the real estate investment trust does not comment on market rumors.

The rumors surfaced six days after New Century disclosed a criminal probe into securities trading and accounting, and said its survival might depend on getting help from its own lenders. Earlier Thursday, Greenlight Capital LLC, the REIT's second-largest shareholder, said its principal David Einhorn resigned on Wednesday night from New Century's board.

New Century shares fell $1.16 to $3.99 in afternoon trading, after earlier falling to $3.40.
