The FDIC reports that the number of US lenders with financial, operational, or managerial weaknesses increased by eight to 52 in the last quarter of 2023. US bank profits dropped by 44% in Q4 as major firms covered costs related to failed banks. The banking industry saw unrealized losses on securities of $477.6 billion in Q4, a significant decline from the previous quarter.
