The company recorded Q2 2026 net income of $65.6 million, with total assets of $27.6 billion and a net interest margin of 2.81%. Management highlighted higher expenses, deposit competition and credit pressures, while maintaining an allowance for credit losses equal to 163% of non-performing loans and continuing dividends and share repurchases. For you as an investor, the key takeaway is that WaFd is pairing higher quarterly earnings per share with a relatively conservative credit stance, given the coverage of non-performing loans. The 2.81% net interest margin and contribution from non-interest income help support profitability at a time when deposit costs and borrowing expenses are under pressure. The bank is also actively returning capital to shareholders through dividends and buybacks, including 2.74 million shares repurchased in the quarter, which can support per-share metrics over time. At the same time, management is flagging ongoing challenges such as deposit competition, rising expenses and credit quality risks, which are outlined in recent SEC filings and are important for you to watch in upcoming quarters.New Risk • Apr 28New minor risk - Insider sellingThere has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: US$955k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.Recent Insider Transactions • Apr 28Executive VP & COO recently sold US$776k worth of stockOn the 24th of April, Kim Robison sold around 22k shares on-market at roughly US$35.28 per share.

Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.공시 • Mar 01WaFd and WaFd Bank Appoints Bradley M. Shuster and M.

속보 • May 08WaFd Posts Earnings Beat With Higher Shareholder Returns and Cautious Credit ApproachWaFd reported Q2 fiscal 2026 adjusted earnings of $0.83 per share, above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.74, supported by net interest income and non-interest income. The company recorded Q2 2026 net income of $65.6 million, with total assets of $27.6 billion and a net interest margin of 2.81%. Management highlighted higher expenses, deposit competition and credit pressures, while maintaining an allowance for credit losses equal to 163% of non-performing loans and continuing dividends and share repurchases. For you as an investor, the key takeaway is that WaFd is pairing higher quarterly earnings per share with a relatively conservative credit stance, given the coverage of non-performing loans. The 2.81% net interest margin and contribution from non-interest income help support profitability at a time when deposit costs and borrowing expenses are under pressure. The bank is also actively returning capital to shareholders through dividends and buybacks, including 2.74 million shares repurchased in the quarter, which can support per-share metrics over time. At the same time, management is flagging ongoing challenges such as deposit competition, rising expenses and credit quality risks, which are outlined in recent SEC filings and are important for you to watch in upcoming quarters.
New Risk • Apr 28New minor risk - Insider sellingThere has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: US$955k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.

Seeking Alpha • Nov 05WaFd: Preferred Shares Still Offering Attractive Income At 6.7% YieldSummary WaFd's merger with Luther Burbank Corporation has improved its loan-to-deposit ratio and reduced external borrowing, enhancing future net interest income and earnings potential. Despite the positive merger impact, WaFd faces risks from high loan-to-deposit ratios and lower-than-average allowance for credit losses, which could pressure earnings. WaFd's preferred shares offer an attractive 6.7% yield and trade at 73% of their call price, providing income and potential capital appreciation. I recommend WaFd's preferred shares for income investors, given their seniority to common shares and insulation from the bank's loan performance challenges. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

New Risk • Mar 03New minor risk - Shareholder dilutionThe company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 25% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.
