This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Western Alliance Bancorporation pay? Western Alliance Bancorporation paid $1.68 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.42 for Sep 2026. At today's price of $75.88 that is a yield of 2.21%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Western Alliance Bancorporation on? Western Alliance Bancorporation is not in the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 or the Dow Jones 30, and is not on the US tech stocks list. ## Is Western Alliance Bancorporation profitable? Western Alliance Bancorporation earned $267 M of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, +6.7% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 2nd quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $956 M. Over 4 years profit has grown 1.6% a year on average. That is 28.6% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $250 M. For the full year, FY25 profit was $956 M (+23.4% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +8.9% on a year earlier and the margin moved −0.6 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +11.1% and revenue +11.8%. Profit and revenue are moving at about the same pace. ## How much revenue does Western Alliance Bancorporation make, and is it growing? Western Alliance Bancorporation reported $934 M of income in the Sep 2026 quarter, +8.9% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 11th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 13.9% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $3.3 B. The last four reported quarters add to $3.6 B. FY25 revenue was $3.3 B, +10.0% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +11.8% on average, against 13.9% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing slower than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +11.7%, against +10.6% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +11.3%, against +18.3% a year (rolling over). ## How much does Western Alliance Bancorporation keep from what it earns? Western Alliance Bancorporation's net margin was 28.6% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 0.6 percentage points lower than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 25.7% and 45.4%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why: the net margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason. ## How many of Western Alliance Bancorporation's loans have gone bad? Western Alliance Bancorporation does not report loan-quality figures this page can read, so this section says so rather than guess. No bad-loan figures are filed in a form this page can read, and none are guessed from the profit line. The income, margin and return sections carry what this business does report. Why: loan quality drives a lender, but its details (new bad loans, recoveries, money set aside) are not in our data for this company. The sections around this one carry what we can back up. ## How fast is Western Alliance Bancorporation's loan book growing? Western Alliance Bancorporation's revenue was $3.3 B in FY25, +10.0% on the year before, so the loan book is growing. The latest quarter was +8.9% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is 28.6%, −0.6 percentage points on a year ago. Interest income stands in for the size of the loan book; changes in interest rates can move it a few points in any year. In short: a lender grows well when its loan book grows, its margin stays steady and its loans stay clean. Quarterly loan-quality figures are missing here, so revenue growth and margin are the two we watch. ## What is Western Alliance Bancorporation's P/BV ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Western Alliance Bancorporation's P/BV is 1.1×, near the low end of its own history: it has been lower only 20% of the time. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 1.3×, over 5.3 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year book value grew while the price moved −5.1%. Price and book value moved together, so the multiple stayed in its range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved −8.4% a year; about +9.7% a year came from book-value growth and about −18.1 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying less). The split is approximate (price return minus book-value growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is low against its own past, so the book value trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Western Alliance Bancorporation business getting better or worse? Western Alliance Bancorporation's business is giving mixed signals. There is no clear direction across the growth lines, with ROE steady at 12.4%; each line tells part of the story. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. ## How much does Western Alliance Bancorporation earn on its equity and assets? Western Alliance Bancorporation earned a return on equity of 12% in FY25. Its lowest yearly reading on file was 12% in FY24. On its assets, every $100 earned about $1.09, before the effect of borrowing. For a lender the balance sheet is the business, so the return on equity and on assets have to be read together. That return is below the level a bank needs to grow its net worth quickly, which helps explain why its multiple is where it is. Why: the ROE chart shows the move, but the deposit-cost and bad-loan details behind it are not in our data. ## Does Western Alliance Bancorporation have too much debt? For a bank, borrowing is the raw material of the business, not a warning sign: it borrows money in order to lend it out. Its safety is read through its returns and its loans. Its safety is read from the bad-loan figures and the return on equity instead. For a manufacturer, debt is a claim on its profits. For a lender it is the stock it trades in, so the usual debt-to-equity test would mislead and is not used here. ## What is the Western Alliance Bancorporation shareholding pattern? 0.0% of Western Alliance Bancorporation's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so very few traders are betting against this stock. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 0.0 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Western Alliance Bancorporation from balance-sheet trouble? For Western Alliance Bancorporation, the Z-score is not used, because it was built for manufacturers, not lenders. For a lender, safety is read from its capital and bad-loan figures instead. ## How does Western Alliance Bancorporation rank in its industry?
