Valuing Western Alliance Bancorporation stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Western Alliance Bancorporation's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Western Alliance Bancorporation's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 14x. In other words, Western Alliance Bancorporation shares trade at around 14x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Western Alliance Bancorporation's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.84. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Western Alliance Bancorporation's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Recently Western Alliance Bancorporation has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Western Alliance Bancorporation shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Western Alliance Bancorporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.48 per share.
While Western Alliance Bancorporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Western Alliance Bancorporation is investing more in its future growth.
Western Alliance Bancorporation's most recent dividend payout was on 28 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Western Alliance Bancorporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $46.614 up to $96.0511. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Western Alliance Bancorporation's is 1.435. This would suggest that Western Alliance Bancorporation's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
