Banking Industry: 20% Exceptional; Less Than 1% Poor According to BAUERFINANCIAL.CORAL GABLES Coral Gables, city (1990 pop. 40,091), Miami-Dade co., SE Fla., SW of Miami; inc. 1925. Founded at the height of the Florida land boom, Coral Gables is a noted planned city, with tree-lined boulevards and Mediterranean-style buildings. , Fla. -- The banking industry has been reporting record profits for the last five quarters. But there is much more to banking than profitability. That's why BAUERFINANCIAL Inc. uses a complex formula that factors in a host of relevant data, including but not limited to, the institution's capital safety levels, the quality of its loan portfolio, its ability to meet obligations, its historic performance, and, of course, profitability when issuing its star ratings. The good news is that, based on the analysis just completed, nearly 79% of the nation's banks and thrifts have earned a recommended rating (either 5-stars or 4-stars). (The rating scale is from zero to 5-stars, with 5-stars being the strongest.) Even better news, 20% of the industry has continuously earned the top 5-star rating for the last ten years...or even longer. That truly is exceptional, hence their designation DESIGNATION, wills. The expression used by a testator, instead of the name of the person or the thing he is desirous to name; for example, a legacy to. the eldest son of such a person, would be a designation of the legatee.
