ThesisStreet consensus, scenarios, merits, risks, and invalidation triggers Thesis Summary First Western Financial Inc (MYFW) is demonstrating strong operational momentum, highlighted by its third consecutive quarter of net income growth and its sixth consecutive quarter of efficiency ratio improvement as of Q1 2026. The bank's private trust bank platform successfully integrates high-net-worth wealth management with private banking, creating a sticky, low-cost deposit base and recurring fee income. With net interest margin (NIM) expanding to 2.81% due to falling funding costs and disciplined loan pricing, MYFW is well-positioned to benefit from operating leverage and organic client acquisition driven by local M&A disruptions in its core Colorado and Arizona markets.

Different horizons, different questions. Our research · scenarios, merits, risks, and invalidation triggersResearch as of 20 Jun 2026 Scenarios · 12-month scenario targets Bear CaseDownside scenario $23.0020% Intensified deposit competition forces the bank to raise money market rates, halting NIM expansion. A slowdown in the Western U.S. real estate markets leads to higher non-performing assets, requiring a reversal of recent provision releases and higher credit loss reserves. Mortgage origination volumes remain stagnant, suppressing non-interest income. Base CaseCentral scenario $28.0050% Steady NIM expansion and high single-digit loan and deposit growth in line with historical trends. The bank maintains disciplined expense control, keeping quarterly non-interest expenses around $19.5-$20.2 million, which supports a gradual improvement in the efficiency ratio to the 71%-73% range. Tangible book value continues to compound at 3%-4% sequentially. Bull CaseUpside scenario $32.0030% Accelerated NIM expansion toward the management target of 3.15%-3.20% driven by faster-than-expected deposit repricing and robust high-yield loan originations. Mortgage banking revenues rebound strongly on lower interest rates, while wealth management assets under management (AUM) grow double-digits organically, driving significant operating leverage and pushing the efficiency ratio below 70%. Scenarios are anchored to street consensus at the research date, with our probabilities and rationale. Key Investment Merits
