Fitch places Western Alliance on watch
Fitch Ratings said it placed Western Alliance Bancorporation's (WAL) and Western Alliance Bank's (WAB) BBB+ long-term issuer default rating and associated debt and deposit ratings on rating watch negative
The RWN follows Silicon Valley Bank’s failure on Friday, the agency said.
“Prior to this event, Fitch viewed WAL's funding and liquidity profile as supportive of its rating, but current market conditions have created liquidity stresses outside the baseline assumptions. The resolution of the RWN could include a range of outcomes, including the assignment of a negative or stable outlook, depending on market conditions and the impact to WAL's deposit franchise, long-term earning power and capitalization,” the agency said in a press release.
