Third Quarter 2010 Eighth District States Bank Performance

Compiled by Daigo Gubo

  • Profitability among banks in Eighth District states is up from a year ago but it may have reached a near-term plateau.
  • Net interest margins continue to expand, a welcome boost to earnings.
  • Provision expenses have come down but it is too early to determine if this is part of a broader trend.
  • Nonperforming loans continue to move upward contrary to the larger national trend.
  • The growth in other real estate assets held on bank balance sheets appears to be increasing.
