The filing
First National Bank of America is the second largest of the 7 Michigan banks between $3B and $10B, with $6.82B in assets at 30 June 2026. Loans are 161.8% of deposits, the highest in the cohort against a median of 93.8%, and equity is 8.1% of assets, the lowest in the cohort. Loans grew +5.2% in the year, 4th of 7, and deposits grew 3.7%; the cohort's median loan growth is +5.2%.
Noncurrent loans are 1.90% of the book, the highest in the cohort against a median of 0.99%; 0.87% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 0.6 times. Commercial real estate is 5.9% of loans, 2nd of 7 against a median of 23.5%, and 62% of capital, below the 300% screen, with construction at 41% against the 100% screen. CRE has grown +159.0% over 36 months, past the guidance's 50% prong.
Return on assets is 2.78%, the highest in the cohort against a median of 1.60%, on an efficiency ratio of 26.6%, the lowest in the cohort. Five years ago it was 3.85%. The question is where the nonperforming loans sit by category, and whether the allowance and the capital behind them hold under a loss path.
