What matters now

• Solid but not exceptional quality (59/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
• For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis

West Bancorporation, Inc (WTBA) currently trades at $28.43, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $24.86, implying the stock looks roughly 12.6% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 59/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, West Bancorporation, Inc generated revenue of $99.1M at a net margin of 35.6%. Revenue grew 16.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 13.9%. Net debt stands at $26.7M. Fundamentals as of Jul 27, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $18.64 (bear case) to $31.07 (bull case); at $28.43, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 70% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 42% fair-value upside, at -13%, WTBA screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.

Widest divergence: Multiples ($21.87) versus Asset-Based ($10.47). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
