Western Alliance Bancorp: The Easy Money Has Been Made, But More Upside Is Justified

Western Alliance Bancorp remains a 'buy' as shares are attractively valued and operational momentum continues. WAL has demonstrated robust deposit and loan growth, improved profitability, and prudent capital management, despite some margin compression. Asset quality is solid, with non-accrual loans at 0.85%, and uninsured deposit exposure remains just under the 30% threshold.
