decline
#1 of 5 · Bottom 1% in Large

Profitability above 0.75% ROA but margins eroding by at least 0.10pp YoY. Something changed - rising costs or falling yields need addressing.

(Tier: 1.19%, National: 1.12%)
worse than tier avg
5 of 5 Large banks match · 147 nationally

Credit Risk Growth

risk
#7 of 26 · Bottom 24% in Large

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

26 of 26 Large banks match · 759 nationally

Liquidity Strain

risk

(Tier: 81.72%, National: 78.04%)
better than tier avg
