The filing
Anb Bank is the third largest of the 12 the Mountain West banks nearest its size between $1B and $3B, with $2.85B in assets at 30 June 2026. Loans are 69.2% of deposits, 3rd of 12 against a median of 89.3%, and equity is 7.1% of assets, the lowest in the cohort. Loans grew -5.5% in the year, the slowest in the cohort, and deposits grew 1.2%; the cohort's median loan growth is +14.1%.
Noncurrent loans are 0.37% of the book, 3rd of 12 against a median of 0.49%; 0.27% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 2.3 times. Commercial real estate is 27.2% of loans, 7th of 12 against a median of 24.8%, and 166% of capital, below the 300% screen, with construction at 24% against the 100% screen.
Return on assets is 0.87%, 10th of 12 against a median of 2.06%, on an efficiency ratio of 78.0%, the highest in the cohort. Five years ago it was 1.21%. The question is cost: what the efficiency ratio does to earnings when the margin compresses.
