(tangible common equity 9.8% in 2024). CRE stress (US office vacancy ~18% Q4 2024; prices down ~25% vs 2019) could lift NPLs and provisioning, hurting ROA. Competitive deposit pricing (retail rates ~1.1-2.0% in Q1 2025) and yield-curve swings compress NIM; cyber incidents rose 61% (2024 vs 2022).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"tbl_prdct green_head blur_tbl\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMetric\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2024 TCE ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.8%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUS office vacancy Q4 2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~18%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOffice price change vs 2019 (mid‑2024)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~-25%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRetail deposit rates Q1 2025\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~1.1-2.0%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCyber incidents change (2024 vs 2022)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e+61%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"get_full_prdct_green\" onclick=\"get_full()\"\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"BCG Matrix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44506849247315,"sku":"mtb-swot-analysis","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/3102\/1907\/files\/mtb-swot-analysis.webp?v=1776727124","url":"https:\/\/bcgmatrixtemplate.com\/products\/mtb-swot-analysis","provider":"BCG Matrix","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
