Flatlined Growth

risk
#3 of 150 • Bottom 1.3% in tier

Asset growth stalled (-2% to +2% YoY) despite healthy profitability (>0.25% ROA). Suggests untapped opportunity or strategic drift worth investigating.

Why this signature
Return on Assets: 0.54%
(Tier: 1.37%, National: 1.23%)
worse than tier avg
150 of 150 Mid-Market banks match · 687 nationally
→ Stable +32 banks QoQ

Liquidity Strain

risk
#62 of 334 • Bottom 18.3% in tier

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

(Tier: 84.20%, National: 76.70%)
worse than tier avg
334 of 334 Mid-Market banks match · 1013 nationally
