No matched strength signatures this quarter

Concerns (3)

Cost Spiral

risk
#7 of 12 • Bottom 50.0% 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: 61.51%
(Tier: 53.67%, National: 70.05%)
worse than tier avg
12 of 12 Large banks match · 184 nationally
→ Stable +9 banks QoQ | QoQ rank improving

Margin Compression

decline
#10 of 18 • Bottom 50.0% 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: 1.17%
(Tier: 1.39%, National: 1.30%)
worse than tier avg
18 of 18 Large banks match · 413 nationally
→ Stable +8 banks QoQ

NIB Deposit Bleed

decline
#3 of 3 • Bottom 66.7% in tier

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

Why this signature
Noninterest-Bearing Deposit Share: 22.04%
(Tier: 20.58%, National: 21.98%)
better than tier avg
3 of 3 Large banks match · 211 nationally
↓ Shrinking -26 banks QoQ
