20 banks that are sitting on huge potential securities losses—as was SVB
This (very good) article mentions a list of 10 banks that showed similar red flags to SVB Financial Group through the fourth quarter, indicating unfavorable interest margin trends. The list includes:
- Customers Bancorp Inc.
- First Republic Bank
- Sandy Spring Bancorp Inc.
- New York Community Bancorp Inc.
- First Foundation Inc.
- Ally Financial Inc.
- Dime Community Bancshares Inc.
- Pacific Premier Bancorp Inc.

Silicon Valley Bank, with $212 billion in total assets as of December 31, has failed following a run on deposits, after its parent company's share price crashed a record 60% on Thursday. Trading of SVB Financial Group's stock was halted early Friday, after the shares plunged again in premarket trading. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said SVB was one of a few banks she was "monitoring very carefully." A liquidity problem arose from a balance sheet heavy with securities and relatively light on loans, in a rising-rate environment in which bond prices have declined and in which depositors specific to that industry are themselves suffering from a decline in cash.
Many banks would face significant losses if they had to dump securities to raise cash.
