Western Alliance ( (WAL) ) has issued an update.
On December 19, 2025, Western Alliance Bancorporation’s Compensation Committee approved the establishment of the Western Alliance Bancorporation Executive Stock and Bonus Deferral Plan, an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement for select members of its Executive Leadership Team. The plan allows designated executives to defer 0%, 25%, or 50% of eligible annual cash bonuses and certain stock awards into deferred stock units, which follow the original vesting schedule and can earn dividend equivalents, with no company contributions permitted. Upon separation from service, executives receive deferred amounts in two or three annual installments, while any vested balance is paid in a lump sum to beneficiaries upon death, and deferred annual cash bonuses remain subject to the company’s Dodd-Frank Clawback Policy, signaling a tighter alignment of executive compensation with long-term shareholder and regulatory expectations.
The most recent analyst rating on (WAL) stock is a Buy with a $115.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Western Alliance stock, see the WAL Stock Forecast page.
