WAL
Western Alliance Bancorporation
WAL closed at $82.97, with price above its 21-day EMA, 50-day SMA, and session VWAP, supported by above-normal volume and positive short-term momentum readings. Medium-term returns remain mixed, as the six-month decline and nearly flat 12-month performance contrast with recent one- and three-month gains. Profitability and single-digit earnings valuation provide fundamental support, while negative free cash flow, slightly lower net income, and adverse legal-news tone temper the broader picture.

Western Alliance (WAL) Reports Next Week: Wall Street Expects Earnings Growth
Western Alliance is set to report Q3 2026 earnings on October 19, with Wall Street expecting 6.6% year-over-year EPS growth to $2.43 per share and 4.3% revenue growth to $989.04 million.

The company missed expectations in the last quarter with a -4.72% surprise.
