Western Alliance is also the latest regional bank to explore a sale, the Financial Times reported.

The bank’s stock plunged 53% on news of the potential sale. 

Western Alliance reportedly holds 71 billion in assets.

 

Western Alliance halted after its shares plummeted on Thursday.

Western Alliance denied the Financial Times report, calling it “categorically false” and said they are “considering all our legal options.”

PacWest Bancorp shares also tumbled nearly 60% in after hours trading on Wednesday on rumors of a sale.
