Flatlined Growth

risk
#115 of 512 • Bottom 22.3% 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: 0.90%
(Tier: 1.27%, National: 1.23%)
worse than tier avg

→ Stable +32 banks QoQ | QoQ rank improving

Liquidity Strain

risk
#220 of 643 • Bottom 34.1% 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: 104.52%
(Tier: 76.64%, National: 76.70%)
worse than tier avg
643 of 643 Community banks match · 1013 nationally
