The dysfunctional financial industry exerts significant pressure on businesses and households, adversely affecting the real economy by restricting capital flow to productive investments and precipitating credit crunches. This study examines the effect of corporate attributes on the financial stability of quoted deposit money banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. Adopting an ex-post facto research design, the population comprised all 15 banks quoted on the floor of the Nigeria Exchange Group (NGX) as at 2022. Secondary panel data were sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Statistical Bulletin and audited annual reports of the sampled banks for the period 2014 to 2023. Panel regression analysis was conducted using STATA. The study found that bank size, liquidity risk, credit risk, and funding risk have positive and statistically significant relationships with financial stability, while profitability and capital adequacy ratio were statistically insignificant. The study concludes that bank-specific attributes are important determinants of financial stability in Nigeria and recommends that regulators and bank management prioritise liquidity buffers, credit risk governance, and stable funding structures to sustain long-term banking soundness
