Buy WSBC now. The technical setup is bullish (stacked moving averages and positive MACD), sentiment from options positioning is decisively call-leaning, and Q4 2025 financials show strong YoY revenue and profit growth. With the stock at $35.29 versus a fresh $42 Street target, the risk/reward favors entering immediately rather than waiting for a perfect pullback.
Trend/momentum: Bullish. WSBC shows a positive and expanding MACD histogram (0.0146), indicating improving upside momentum. RSI(6) at ~56.8 is neutral-to-slightly-bullish (not overbought), suggesting room to run. Moving averages: Bullish alignment (SMA_5 > SMA_20 > SMA_200) supports an uptrend across short/medium/long horizons. Levels: Pivot ~35.204 is essentially current price (35.29), implying a reasonable entry area. Near-term resistance is R1 ~36.384 (first upside objective). Supports are S1 ~34.023 then S2 ~33.294. Pattern-based near-term odds: Model indicates slight weakness near term (next day/week marginally negative), but a stronger 1-month bias (+8.5%).
Intellectia Proprietary Trading Signals
Earnings backdrop: Q4 2025 net income rose strongly YoY (about +66%), supporting the bull case that profitability is improving.
Macro tailwind for banks if rates trend lower and curve steepens (explicitly cited in the Overweight initiation), which can support lending/valuation multiples.
Upside to target: Piper Sandler PT $42 implies meaningful upside from $35.
Technical uptrend intact with clear nearby resistance targets (R1 ~36.38, then R2 ~37.11).
Earnings quality nuance: Non-GAAP EPS (0.
missed estimates by $0.01—can cap immediate upside if the market focuses on the miss.
Options market depth is low (tiny daily volume), reducing the reliability of short-term options flow signals.
Regional bank sensitivity: If rate/credit expectations worsen, regional banks can re-rate quickly.
Hedge funds/insiders: Both neutral recently—no strong “smart money” confirmation in the provided data.
Latest quarter: 2025/Q4. Growth trends were strong: Revenue $255.45M (+75.14% YoY), Net Income $78.16M (+65.96% YoY), EPS $0.81 (+15.71% YoY). This points to improving profitability and operating momentum, even though the quarter included a small EPS miss versus consensus on a non-GAAP basis.
Recent Street change: Piper Sandler initiated coverage (2025-12-17) with Overweight and a $42 price target. Wall Street pros: Positive earnings backdrop; expects supportive macro (steady Fed cuts, modest yield-curve steepening, solid growth/credit). Wall Street cons: The thesis is macro-dependent—if the rate path or credit quality deteriorates, upside could compress. Influential/political trading check: No recent congress trading data available in the last 90 days; insiders and hedge funds are neutral per provided trends.
