Warning flags
These are factual readings from FDIC fields. A flag is a reason to read the number, not a finding that the bank is unsafe.
- Commercial real estate loans are at least 300% of capitalConstruction loans, multifamily loans, and other nonfarm nonresidential loans (not the owner-occupied ones) totaled $1,707,093,000, which is 335% of total risk-based capital. The 2006 supervisory guidance uses 300% as a level to look at more closely. From 2023-06-30 to this quarter, the same loan group was up 27%. That is below the 50% growth the guidance also mentions.
Held-to-maturity unrealized losses are not flagged. The FDIC file does not publish a held-to-maturity cost that we can subtract from fair value without guessing.
