The filing
Sunflower Bank National Association is the fifth largest of the 12 Texas banks nearest its size over $10B, with $15.65B in assets at 30 June 2026. Loans are 86.9% of deposits, 10th of 12 against a median of 81.6%, and equity is 12.3% of assets, 4th of 12. Loans grew +77.5% in the year, the fastest in the cohort, and deposits grew 87.0%; the cohort's median loan growth is +4.3%.
Noncurrent loans are 1.63% of the book, 10th of 11 against a median of 0.77%; 0.64% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 0.9 times. Net charge-offs are 0.90% of loans, the highest in the cohort. Commercial real estate is 35.3% of loans, 9th of 11 against a median of 27.7%, and 228% of capital, below the 300% screen, with construction at 18% against the 100% screen. CRE has grown +224.9% over 36 months, past the guidance's 50% prong.
Return on assets is 0.22%, 11th of 12 against a median of 1.33%, on an efficiency ratio of 75.2%, 11th of 12. Five years ago it was 1.05%. The question is whether the new lending seasons as cleanly as the book it joined, and what funded it.
