Concerns (6)

Margin Compression

decline
#9 of 120 · Bottom 7% in Community

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: 1.11%
(Tier: 1.16%, National: 1.12%)
worse than tier avg
120 of 120 Community banks match · 147 nationally
→ Stable -9 banks QoQ | QoQ rank declining

Capital Thin

risk
#64 of 432 · Bottom 15% in Community

Tier 1 capital ratio in the bottom quartile of peers. Capital cushion thin relative to peers - regulator-watching cohort.

Why this signature
Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio: 0.00%
(Tier: 10.24%, National: 9.75%)
worse than tier avg
432 of 432 Community banks match · 505 nationally
→ Stable +11 banks QoQ | QoQ rank improving

Flatlined Growth

risk
#107 of 245 · Bottom 43% in Community

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: 1.11%
(Tier: 1.16%, National: 1.12%)
worse than tier avg
245 of 245 Community banks match · 308 nationally
↓ Shrinking -35 banks QoQ | QoQ rank improving

NIB Deposit Bleed

decline
#58 of 89 · Bottom 65% in Community

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: 16.85%
(Tier: 21.05%, National: 21.79%)
worse than tier avg
89 of 89 Community banks match · 98 nationally
→ Stable -10 banks QoQ

Cost Spiral

risk
#29 of 40 · Bottom 72% in Community

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

Why this signature
Efficiency Ratio: 63.93%
(Tier: 62.63%, National: 65.09%)
worse than tier avg
40 of 40 Community banks match · 50 nationally
↓ Shrinking -10 banks QoQ | QoQ rank improving
