Liquidity Strain

risk
#8 of 334 • Bottom 2.1% in tier

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

Margin Compression

decline
#9 of 84 • Bottom 9.5% 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: 1.73%

Capital Constraint

risk
#10 of 37 • Bottom 24.3% in tier

decline

Cost Spiral

risk
#25 of 31 • Bottom 77.4% in tier
