Commercial real estate is 22.1% of loans, the lowest in the cohort against a median of 36.6%, and 137% of capital, below the 300% screen, with construction at 26% against the 100% screen.
Return on assets is 0.99%, the highest in the cohort against a median of 0.71%, on an efficiency ratio of 65.3%, 2nd of 12. Five years ago it was 0.91%. The question is which of these lines moves first over the next four quarters, and against which peer.
