Signature Analysis

Strengths (1)

Non-Interest-Bearing Deposit Share

metric
Top 7% in Community

Non-Interest-Bearing Deposit Share is in the top decile of tier peers. Cheap (no-cost) funding is a larger share of the deposit base than at peers - structural NIM advantage in rising-rate environments.

Why this stands out
Current: 36.46%
(Tier avg: 21.05%, National avg: 21.79%)

Concerns (3)

Flatlined Growth

risk
#35 of 245 · Bottom 14% 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: 0.45%
(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

Efficiency Drag

risk
#86 of 152 · Bottom 56% in Community

Efficiency ratio above 80% - operating costs elevated relative to revenue. Margin improvement opportunity.

Why this signature
Efficiency Ratio: 86.76%
(Tier: 62.63%, National: 65.09%)
worse than tier avg
152 of 152 Community banks match · 163 nationally
→ Stable -9 banks QoQ | QoQ rank improving

Return on Assets

metric
Bottom 10% in Community

Return on Assets is in the bottom decile of tier peers. Earnings power per dollar of assets lags peers; warrants margin and cost diagnostics to identify the drag.

Why this stands out
Current: 0.45%
(Tier avg: 1.16%, National avg: 1.12%)
