West Bancorporation Sets Date for Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Results

Investors will get a detailed look at West Bancorporation’s financial performance later this month. The company confirmed it will release its fourth quarter and full-year 2025 earnings report before the market opens on Thursday, January 29, 2026. This announcement follows the bank’s recent recognition by Zacks Investment Research, which included it on a list of top income-generating stocks.

Earnings Call and Analyst Recognition

The formal earnings release will be followed by a conference call at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time (2:00 p.m. Central Time) on January 29. Interested parties can join by dialing 800-715-9871 and using the conference ID 7846129. A recording of the call will be accessible until February 12, 2026.

This reporting period comes amid positive analyst sentiment. Zacks Equity Research featured the institution in a report last Friday. It had previously assigned West Bancorporation a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) on October 27, 2025. Notably, the consensus earnings estimate among Zacks-covered analysts for the current year has been revised upward by 7.4% over the past two months.

Financial Performance and Shareholder Returns

The upcoming report will build on a robust third quarter. On October 23, the company posted net income of $9.3 million, or $0.55 per diluted share. This represents a significant increase from the $6.0 million, or $0.35 per share, earned in the same quarter the previous year. A key driver was the expansion of its net interest margin to 2.36%, up from 2.27%.

Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying West Bancorporation?

Shareholders currently receive a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share. Based on recent trading prices, this provides a forward yield of approximately 4.2%, which stands well above the regional industry average yield of 2.7%.

Operational Strength and Price Action

The bank’s operations are concentrated in high-growth areas surrounding Des Moines, as well as select markets in Minnesota. Management recently described its credit quality as “extremely strong.” For the first nine months of the year, net income reached $25.1 million, compared to $17.0 million for the prior-year period.

Trading around $23.84 as of Friday’s close, the company’s shares remain comfortably above their 200-day moving average of $20.13. The central question for the January 29 release is whether the bank can meet or exceed the recently raised earnings expectations and maintain its momentum in credit quality and margins for the final quarter. No additional corporate announcements were made yesterday.
