Strengths (2)

Revenue Diversifier

growth
#183 of 661 • Top 27.5% in tier

Top-quartile non-interest income relative to assets. Revenue less dependent on spread - more resilient to rate cycles.

Why this signature
Noninterest Income / Assets: 0.38%
(Tier: 0.57%, National: 0.66%)
but worse than tier avg
Return on Assets: 2.54%
(Tier: 1.32%, National: 1.30%)
better than tier avg
661 of 661 Community banks match · 923 nationally
→ Stable | QoQ rank declining

Credit Quality Leader

growth
#284 of 659 • Top 42.9% in tier

Best-in-class credit quality (delinquency in bottom 25% of peer group). Conservative underwriting paying off.

Why this signature
Delinquency Rate: 0.00%
(Tier: 0.92%, National: 0.98%)
better than tier avg
659 of 659 Community banks match · 920 nationally
→ Stable +1 banks QoQ | QoQ rank improving

Concerns (2)

Cost Spiral

risk
#20 of 138 • Bottom 13.8% in tier

Historically lean operator (efficiency < 75%) now seeing 5+ point efficiency ratio increase YoY despite strong profitability. Efficiency advantage eroding.

Why this signature
Efficiency Ratio: 42.35%
(Tier: 64.48%, National: 70.05%)
better than tier avg
138 of 138 Community banks match · 184 nationally
→ Stable +9 banks QoQ

Margin Compression

decline
#201 of 307 • Bottom 65.2% 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: 2.54%
(Tier: 1.32%, National: 1.30%)
better than tier avg
307 of 307 Community banks match · 413 nationally
→ Stable +8 banks QoQ
