Berkshire Bank Balance Sheet Analysis

As of June 30, 2024, Berkshire Bank had assets of $12,214,264,000, loans of $9,223,536,000, and deposits of $10,174,678,000. Long-term increases in deposits shows a bank's ability to raise funds to grow its loans and assets. Loan and asset growth may rise or fall depending on a bank's strategy for growth. Sharp rises and falls in assets, deposits, and loans can be problematic, indicating a loosening of lending standards, or financial distress leading to reduced lending. A big change in these figured can also be from a bank acquisition or merger.
