West Bancorporation, Inc. (WTBA) 10Y Growth Potential Analysis (2026)

Invetso Score: 5.8/10 — Balanced · Last Updated: 2026-08-01

Overall Score

Revenue Growth

No fresh revenue trend or news catalyst was provided this month, so the growth outlook remains anchored to the prior baseline.

Profitability

TTM gross margin of 51.4% and operating margin of 24.4% remain solid, supporting steady earnings power.

Return on equity is 14.3%, but return on invested capital is still slightly negative at -1.4%, limiting the quality of growth.

Financial Health

Current ratio remains very low at 0.15 and cash ratio at 0.01, indicating tight near-term liquidity.

Net debt to EBITDA is 6.1x and interest coverage is only 0.5x, keeping leverage and debt service risk elevated.

Reinvestment Moat

Capex intensity is minimal at 0.5% of revenue, suggesting limited reinvestment burden.

The business still shows some efficiency support from a 24.4% operating margin and 1.88x fixed asset turnover, but there is no clear evidence of a widening moat.

Valuation

Valuation remains reasonable with P/E of 12.4x, EV/EBITDA of 14.6x, and free cash flow yield of 10.3%.

Price to book of 1.70x and price to sales of 2.39x are not demanding for a profitable bank.
