Loans are 52.5% of deposits, the lowest in the cohort against a median of 89.5%, and equity is 13.1% of assets, 2nd of 12. Loans grew +3.6% in the year, 8th of 12, and deposits grew 4.8%; the cohort's median loan growth is +4.9%.
Noncurrent loans are 0.24% of the book, 7th of 12 against a median of 0.24%; 0.75% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 6.5 times. Commercial real estate is 5.6% of loans, 2nd of 12 against a median of 28.7%, and 19% of capital, below the 300% screen, with construction at 3% against the 100% screen.
Return on assets is 2.57%, the highest in the cohort against a median of 1.47%, on an efficiency ratio of 23.2%, the lowest in the cohort. Five years ago it was 1.82%. The question this shape raises is what the liquidity earns, and what a rate path does to the securities book and the deposit base.
