Pinnacle ranks among the best of the country’s 100 largest banks, according to a Forbes analysis. The firm landed at No. 27 on the list, higher than any other bank headquartered in Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina or Georgia.
“We measure and reward ourselves according to the metrics we believe are most highly correlated with long-term shareholder value, so it’s gratifying to see a third party independently verify that this approach works,” said M. Terry Turner, Pinnacle’s president and CEO. “Our financial strength is a result of how highly we excited and engage our associates, all of us pulling in the same direction and making the right decisions for the overall value of this firm. When you do what’s right and give people a workplace they love, they will elevate your company to success.”
The magazine’s analysts examined raw numbers from financial data provider S&P Global Market Intelligence to shed light on growth, credit quality and profitability for the country’s 100 largest banks and thrifts. They used 10 metrics in the ranking, including net interest margin, return on average assets and revenue growth. According to these measures, Pinnacle bested many of its top competitors throughout its footprint.
