Credit Risk Growth

risk
#57 of 420 • Bottom 13.3% in tier

Margin Compression

decline
#16 of 84 • Bottom 17.9% 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.

Cost Spiral

risk
#11 of 31 • Bottom 32.3% in tier
