Bank of Gueydan (FDIC cert 8144) is a community bank — $74M in total assets, $57M in deposits, serving the Gueydan, Louisiana area. Community banks make up the largest share of U.S. banks by count but a much smaller share by assets.
Capital position is strong: Tier 1 capital ratio of 21.64% sits comfortably above the 8% well-capitalized regulatory threshold and the 10% well-capitalized-plus floor for community banks. Strong capital is the first line of defense against unexpected loan losses. Asset quality is elevated: non-performing loan ratio of 3.73% runs above 2%, suggesting the loan book carries more credit risk than peer banks. Elevated NPL can reflect specific portfolio concentrations or broader credit-cycle pressure. Liquidity is very high: 63.7% of assets in liquid form, well above peer norms. Very high liquidity sometimes reflects a bank still building out its loan portfolio or one operating under specific regulatory liquidity requirements.
Profitability is thin: ROA of 0.59% runs below the 1% benchmark. Thin margins can reflect cyclical net-interest-margin pressure, elevated provisions for loan losses, or operating-cost inefficiency. Health-score trend is declining materially over the most recent quarters. Declining trends warrant attention — banks in this pattern often face follow-on regulatory engagement and elevated supervisory scrutiny. Bank of Gueydan carries a composite BankHealth grade of B (72/100) as of the 2024-06 Call Report filing. The grade combines capital ratios (Tier 1), asset quality (non-performing loans), liquidity, and profitability into a single signal.
