Concerns (5)

Credit Risk Growth

risk
#231 of 936 • Bottom 24.6% in tier

Loan portfolio growing while delinquencies are rising. Expansion with deteriorating credit quality needs attention.

936 of 936 Community banks match · 1401 nationally
→ Stable -58 banks QoQ | QoQ rank improving

Flatlined Growth

risk
#149 of 529 • Bottom 28.0% 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: 0.57%
(Tier: 1.32%, National: 1.30%)
worse than tier avg
529 of 529 Community banks match · 719 nationally
→ Stable +34 banks QoQ | QoQ rank declining

Capital Thin

risk
#218 of 661 • Bottom 32.8% in tier

(Tier: 15.91%, National: 17.09%)
worse than tier avg
661 of 661 Community banks match · 923 nationally
→ Stable | QoQ rank declining

Liquidity Strain

risk
#305 of 691 • Bottom 44.0% in tier

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

Why this signature

(Tier: 77.95%, National: 79.03%)
worse than tier avg
691 of 691 Community banks match · 1092 nationally
→ Stable +81 banks QoQ | QoQ rank declining

Credit Quality Pressure

risk
#597 of 1256 • Bottom 47.5% in tier

Delinquencies rising year-over-year. Credit risk is building - underwriting tools or reserves may need attention.

Why this signature
Delinquency Rate: 0.53%
(Tier: 0.92%, National: 0.98%)
better than tier avg
1256 of 1256 Community banks match · 1820 nationally
