Frequently asked questions
What is Western Alliance Bancorporation's revenue?
Western Alliance Bancorporation's trailing twelve-month revenue is $3.38B. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is WAL?
In its most recent fiscal year, WAL ran a gross margin of 61.10%, an operating margin of 22.88%, and a net margin of 18.37%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does WAL generate?
WAL produced $-2.79B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is WAL's balance sheet healthy?
WAL holds $3.60B in cash and equivalents against $6.32B in long-term debt, on $7.65B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
