The Fundamentalytics view

Next results ~January 26, 2027 (estimated)

Western Alliance Bancorporation's trailing-twelve-month revenue grew 17.9% year on year, with a free-cash-flow margin of -6.9%.

Current signal Free cash flow diverging from earnings: TTM free cash flow grew 91.7% while net income grew 11.1%: a 81pp divergence.

Assembled from SEC-filed figures — the full workings are on this page and in our methodology. Observations, not recommendations.

Strengths

  • Fast growth. Revenue grew 17.9% over the last 12 months, against a median of 12.5% for regional banks companies we cover.
  • Shrinking share count. Diluted shares fell 1.2% in a year, so each share owns more of the business.
  • Net cash. Cash exceeds long-term debt by $4.0bn.

Things to watch

  • Burning cash. Free cash flow was -6.9% of revenue over the last 12 months.
  • Weak cash conversion. Free cash flow was -28% of net income over the last 12 months.
  • Missing expectations. Earnings per share fell short of the consensus estimate in 3 of the last four quarters.
  • Estimates being cut. Analysts' consensus for next year's earnings per share has fallen 5.4% over 90 days.

Moat

82 /100

Strong moat

How hard Western Alliance Bancorporation's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 10 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 18 / 20

    Net income has been a median 1.4% of total assets over 10 years.

  • Durability 19 / 20

    Net margin has been a median 37.9%; its worst year was 23.9%.

  • Discipline 15 / 20

    The diluted share count rose 6.0% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 1.8% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Medium. In this industry, AI could change how the product is made or sold, without replacing the core asset. The score above includes a 5-point deduction for that exposure (86 before it).
