Western Alliance

‘Can’t unsee’

Western Alliance is also exposed to another recent blowup, the bankruptcy of the auto parts maker First Brands.

But in this case, a loan facility made to a fund managed by a subsidiary of the investment bank Jefferies “remains current, and we continue to receive principal and interest payments as modeled,” said Vecchione.

While this week’s reassurances have calmed markets for now, the sharp selloff in regionals last week is leaving a lasting mark on the industry. Shares of both Western Alliance and Zions plunged on Thursday after the banks disclosed problems with the Cantor Group.

Investors are ready to hit “sell” on any signs that the losses aren’t isolated, and share gains for the group will be capped for the foreseeable future because of these worries, said Timur Brazilian, who covers mid-cap banks for Wells Fargo. He cut his recommendation on Western Alliance to “sell” on September 29.

“You can’t unsee these events,” Braziler said in an interview. “The timer for any kind of sustainable outperformance within the regional group has gotten reset once again.”
