<h3>Analyzing West Bancorp Financial Health</h3>
Companies that pay out steady cash dividends are attractive to income-seeking investors, and companies that are financially healthy tend to maintain their dividend payout schedule. For this reason, investors can find it insightful to see if a company has been increasing or decreasing their dividend payout schedule and if their earnings are growing.

West Bancorp Adapts to Economic Shifts to Support Investor Confidence

Monday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from West Bancorp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WTBA#NASDAQ">WTBA</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Thursday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 25 cents per share. On Tuesday, West Bancorp will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 25 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Tuesday. Shareholders who own WTBA as of the end of Monday's session are eligible to receive the 25 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on February 21, 2024. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.
