TEXAS RATIO
Ratio used to determine the credit problems of certain banks or regions of banks. It is computed by getting the amount of a bank’s non-performing assets and loans, and also delinquent ones for over 90 days, then dividing it by the company’s tangible capital equity and loan loss reserve. A ratio over 100 or 1:1 flashes a warning sign. Lobbyist Gerald Cassidy and other analysts at RDC Capital Markets designed the ratio.
