Executive Summary
West Bancorporation, Inc. trades at $28.43, with its short-term moving averages stacked above the longer-term ones — a bullish trend structure. Over a rolling month the price has gained 9.8%. Momentum indicators put RSI at 65.6 (approaching overbought) with MACD reading bullish. Price has been bracketed by support at $25.87 and resistance at $28.80.
Valuation screens as fair: a P/E of 12.6 sits below the sector average of 16.9. Revenue is growing at 18.0% on a 37.1% profit margin. The 3.67% dividend yield looks covered by current payout levels.
On a 1-10 scale the risk profile lands at 4 — moderate. With 30-day volatility of 24.1%, a beta of 0.56 and a maximum drawdown of 13.8%, position sizing matters here. The wider market backdrop reads extreme greed at 95 on the fear-greed composite.
Across every horizon the signals point the same way: buy, at a conviction of 6 out of 10.
