Concerns (4)

Credit Risk Growth

risk
#80 of 973 • Bottom 8.1% in tier

Loan portfolio growing while delinquencies are rising. Expansion with deteriorating credit quality needs attention.

973 of 973 Community banks match · 1464 nationally
→ Stable -10 banks QoQ | QoQ rank improving

Liquidity Strain

risk
#108 of 643 • Bottom 16.6% in tier

Loan-to-deposit ratio above 90% - loan demand outpacing deposits. Bumping against liquidity limits, funding solutions needed.

Why this signature
Loan-to-Deposit Ratio: 91.86%
(Tier: 76.64%, National: 76.70%)
worse than tier avg
643 of 643 Community banks match · 1013 nationally
→ Stable -50 banks QoQ

Credit Quality Pressure

risk
#285 of 1308 • Bottom 21.7% in tier

Delinquencies rising year-over-year. Credit risk is building - underwriting tools or reserves may need attention.

Why this signature

(Tier: 0.89%, National: 0.95%)
better than tier avg
1308 of 1308 Community banks match · 1899 nationally

Margin Compression

decline
#185 of 305 • Bottom 60.3% in tier

Profitability above 0.75% ROA but margins eroding by at least 0.10pp YoY. Something changed - rising costs or falling yields need addressing.

Why this signature
Return on Assets: 1.55%
(Tier: 1.27%, National: 1.23%)
better than tier avg
