WesBanco Sets Third-Quarter Call After June Results
The Wheeling holding company said third-quarter results are due after the close on October 21, with a call on October 22.
WesBanco, Inc. (WSBC), a diversified, multi-state bank holding company, said it will host a conference call at 3:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, October 22, 2026, to review financial results for the third quarter of 2026. Results are expected to be released after the market close on Wednesday, October 21, 2026.
President and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Jackson and Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Dan Weiss will take the call. Interested parties can access a live webcast through the Investor Relations section of wesbanco.com, or dial in at 888-347-6607, or 1-412-902-4290 for international callers. A replay will be available by dialing 855-669-9658, or 1-412-317-0088 for international callers, with access code 9592854, beginning at approximately 5:00 p.m. ET on October 22 and ending at 12 a.m. ET on November 5, 2026.

The announcement follows the second-quarter release of July 21, in which WesBanco reported net income available to common shareholders of $88.4 million, or $0.91 a share, for the three months ended June 30, 2026. Excluding after-tax restructuring and merger-related expenses, the company reported $0.92 of earnings per diluted share.
For that June quarter, WesBanco generated annualized loan growth of 8.3% over the sequential quarter and 3.5% year-over-year, as organic growth across all markets more than offset higher commercial real estate payoffs of approximately $345 million, which impacted year-over-year loan growth by 1.0%. It grew its commercial loan pipeline to a record $2.3 billion as of June 30, 2026, with an average loan-to-deposit ratio of 88.9%. Net interest margin increased 4 basis points year-over-year to 3.63%, primarily driven by lower funding costs and asset repricing. The efficiency ratio improved more than 1 percentage point both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter to a record low of 51.2%.
Jackson said the second-quarter performance reflected the continued success of the relationship-focused banking model and disciplined growth strategy, and that the company generated annualized loan growth of more than 8%, expanded the commercial loan pipeline to a record $2.3 billion, and generated positive operating leverage. He said the company was well-positioned for continued growth, particularly in Premier and expansion markets in Northern Virginia, Tennessee, and Florida. WesBanco was advancing organic growth in those targeted expansion markets and positioning the Florida franchise for continued growth through planned financial center openings during the first half of 2027.
Headquartered in Wheeling, West Virginia, WesBanco has $27.8 billion in total assets, with Trust and Investment Services holding $8.2 billion of assets under management and securities account values (including annuities) of $2.7 billion through its broker/dealer, as of June 30, 2026. The company describes a ten-state footprint spanning retail and commercial banking, trust, brokerage, wealth management and insurance.
A month earlier, as of March 31, 2026, total assets were $27.5 billion, with $7.8 billion of assets under management and $2.6 billion of securities account values.
On FINRA settlement date 2026-09-15, WesBanco ranked at 6.7% of real float short, with 6,257,780 shares short divided by 95,905,889 shares outstanding times a 0.9793 size-index free-float factor, a change of minus 0.8 percentage points versus the prior settlement. FINRA publishes settlement-date short interest about seven business days after the settlement date.
The October 22 call is the next scheduled venue for Jackson and Weiss to walk through third-quarter results after the June-quarter franchise update that paired record commercial pipeline and a 51.2% efficiency ratio with 3.63% net interest margin and 8.3% sequential annualized loan growth.
