Western Alliance: Mortgage Headwinds And Credit Cracks Appear In A Mixed Q1
Western Alliance faces significant challenges, including a 35% stock decline in 2025, mixed earnings, and a cautious outlook due to economic and mortgage market weaknesses. WAL's financials show some strengths, like deposit growth and stable capital, but potentially higher provisions and credit risks, especially in commercial real estate, are concerning. The company's net interest income and margins are under pressure due to falling asset yields, and its mortgage servicing business faces headwinds from a weak housing market.

Western Alliance Bank Shines On Margins, While Loan Chargeoffs May Cloud The Sky
Western Alliance Bancorp, a Phoenix-based regional bank, and parent of Western Alliance Bank, gets a buy rating for my initial coverage. I liked their 2024 loan growth and business segment penetration, solid margins, return on equity, and recent Fitch rating upgrade. Appearing very undervalued now, I gave this stock a 3-year price target of $82.22 (Dec. 2027), so currently it presents an undervaluation opportunity.
