Concerns (4)

Flatlined Growth

risk
#27 of 512 • Bottom 5.1% 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: 0.43%
(Tier: 1.27%, National: 1.23%)
worse than tier avg
512 of 512 Community banks match · 687 nationally
→ Stable +32 banks QoQ

Liquidity Overhang

risk
#87 of 739 • Bottom 11.6% in tier

Exceptional capital position (Tier 1 >= 16%, top quartile). Strong fundamentals - opportunity to deploy capital more productively.

Why this signature
Tier 1 Capital Ratio: 19.53%
(Tier: 15.83%, National: 17.06%)
better than tier avg
Loan-to-Deposit Ratio: 113.50%
(Tier: 76.64%, National: 76.70%)

NIB Deposit Bleed

decline
#55 of 198 • Bottom 27.3% in tier

Non-interest-bearing deposit share dropped 2+ pp YoY and now below the tier median. Cheap funding leaving for higher-yield competitors.

(Tier: 22.02%, National: 22.01%)
worse than tier avg
198 of 198 Community banks match · 238 nationally
↓ Shrinking -31 banks QoQ

Liquidity Strain

risk
#248 of 643 • Bottom 38.4% 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: 113.50%
(Tier: 76.64%, National: 76.70%)
worse than tier avg
643 of 643 Community banks match · 1013 nationally
