Margin Compression

decline
#7 of 120 · Bottom 5% 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.

Cost Spiral

risk
#35 of 40 · Bottom 87% in Community

Why this signature
Efficiency Ratio: 74.02%
(Tier: 62.63%, National: 65.09%)
worse than tier avg
40 of 40 Community banks match · 50 nationally
