Lamesa National Bank (FDIC cert 3292) is a community bank — $384M in total assets, $346M in deposits, serving the Lamesa, Texas 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 28.22% 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 normal: non-performing loan ratio of 1.37% sits in the typical 0.5-2% range for healthy U.S. banks. Some NPL is unavoidable in any meaningful lending portfolio. Liquidity is very high: 78.0% 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 solid: ROA of 1.15% sits at or near the 1% benchmark for healthy U.S. banks. Net interest income, fee income, and operating efficiency are all in workable shape. Health-score trend is improving: the bank's composite score is up materially over the most recent quarters in the dataset. Improving trends usually reflect either capital strengthening, asset-quality recovery, or sustained profitability gains. Lamesa National Bank carries a composite BankHealth grade of A (88/100) 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.
