Pattern Detected

Recent earnings releases in 2025 often showed fundamentally stronger results but produced mixed to negative next-day price reactions, suggesting a tendency toward cautious or contrarian trading around earnings.

Recent Company History

Over the past year, WesBanco has reported a series of earnings tied to the Premier Financial Corp. acquisition and subsequent integration. Q1 2025 showed a GAAP net loss but adjusted EPS of $0.66, followed by improving Q2 and Q3 2025 results with EPS of $0.57 and $0.84, supported by loan and deposit growth and a higher net interest margin. Earlier Q4 2024 results featured growing loans, deposits, and a 3.03% margin. The current Q4 2025 report continues this trajectory of scale, margin expansion, and efficiency gains.

This announcement highlights robust Q4 and full-year 2025 performance, with net income of $78.2M for the quarter, a 3.61% net interest margin, deposits of $21.7B, and loans of $19.2B. Integration of Premier Financial supported record wealth management assets and an efficiency ratio of 51.6%. Historically, earnings releases have produced mixed price responses, so tracking future credit quality metrics, expense trends, and ongoing merger synergies remains important for understanding the trajectory.

Key Terms

net interest margin, allowance for credit losses, non-performing assets, Tier I leverage, +4 more
8 terms
net interest margin financial
"net interest margin of 3.61% improved 58 basis points year-over-year"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
allowance for credit losses financial
"The allowance for credit losses to total portfolio loans at December 31, 2025 was 1.14%"
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
non-performing assets financial
"non-performing loans, and non-performing assets as percentages of the loan portfolio"
Loans or other credit exposures that are not producing expected income because borrowers have stopped making scheduled payments for a significant period (commonly around 90 days). Think of it like a business lending money that has gone quiet — the cash flow stops while the lender still carries the debt on its books. High levels of non-performing assets matter to investors because they reduce a lender’s earnings, tie up capital that could be used for growth, and signal higher risk of future losses.
Tier I leverage financial
"At December 31, 2025, Tier I leverage was 9.42%"
Tier I leverage is a simple safety ratio banks report that compares their core capital—mainly common equity and retained earnings—to their total assets and certain off‑balance exposures. It tells investors how much high‑quality capital a bank holds against every dollar of assets, like a cushion under a tightrope; a larger cushion means the bank is better positioned to absorb losses and is generally safer for shareholders and creditors.
Tier I risk-based capital ratio financial
"Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 11.38%"
The Tier I risk-based capital ratio measures a bank’s core financial cushion—common equity and retained earnings—expressed as a percentage of its assets after those assets are adjusted for how risky they are. Think of it as the padding a bank keeps relative to the weighted size of its loan and investment book; a higher ratio means the bank is better able to absorb losses, meet regulatory requirements, and support dividends or growth, so investors use it to judge safety and resilience.
common equity Tier 1 capital ratio financial
"common equity Tier 1 capital ratio ("CET 1") was 10.34%"
A bank’s common equity tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio measures the size of its strongest loss-absorbing capital—mainly common shares and retained earnings—relative to the bank’s assets after adjusting those assets for how risky they are (riskier loans count more). Think of it as the safety cushion compared with the weight of risky business; investors use it to judge a bank’s ability to survive losses, meet rules, and sustain dividends or growth.
total risk-based capital financial
"total risk-based capital was 13.88%"
The total amount of capital a regulated financial firm must hold as a cushion against losses, measured relative to how risky its loans and investments are. Think of it as a household emergency fund sized to match how many and how risky the bills and debts are; the bigger and riskier the obligations, the more capital is required. Investors watch this metric because it signals a firm's ability to absorb losses, meet regulatory requirements, pay dividends, and support growth without needing outside help.
tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio financial
"the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 8.13%"
Tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio measures how much of a company’s physical, measurable assets are funded by the pure ownership stake of common shareholders after removing intangible items like goodwill and patents. Investors use it like a safety cushion gauge: a higher ratio means more real, recoverable value backing assets and greater capacity to absorb losses, while a lower ratio suggests higher leverage or reliance on non-physical value.

Solid loan growth fully funded by deposit growth; net interest margin of 3.61% improved 58 basis points year-over-year

WHEELING, W.Va., Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- WesBanco, Inc. ("WesBanco" or "Company") (Nasdaq: WSBC), a diversified, multi-state bank holding company, today announced net income and related earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2025. Net income available to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $78.2 million, with diluted earnings per share of $0.81, compared to $47.1 million and $0.70 per diluted share, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2024. The fourth quarter of 2025 included dividends and redemption premium totaling $8.0 million, or $0.08 per share, related to the Series A preferred stock, which was redeemed on November 15, 2025. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, net income was $202.6 million, or $2.23 per diluted share, which reflected the impact of a day one provision for credit losses and other expenses related to the closing of the Premier Financial Corp. ("PFC") acquisition on February 28, 2025, compared to $141.4 million, or $2.26 per diluted share, for the 2024 period.

As noted below, WesBanco reported $0.84 of earnings per diluted share, in the fourth quarter, as compared to $0.71 in the prior year period, when excluding after-tax restructuring and merger-related expenses (non-GAAP measures). On a similar basis and excluding the after-tax day one provision for credit losses on acquired loans, WesBanco reported $3.40 per diluted share, for the twelve month period, which was a 45.3% increase compared to $2.34 per diluted share last year (non-GAAP measures).

Financial and operational highlights during the quarter ended December 31, 2025:

  • Deposit growth fully funded loan growth both year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter
  • Total deposits increased 7.2% annualized from the third quarter driven by demand and money market deposits
    • Total deposits increased 53.3% year-over-year to $21.7 billion, reflecting $6.9 billion of deposits from PFC and organic growth of 4.7%
  • Total loans increased 6.2% annualized from the third quarter despite commercial real estate ("CRE") payoffs of approximately $415 million in the quarter
    • Total loans increased 51.9% year-over-year to $19.2 billion, reflecting organic growth of 5.2% and $5.9 billion of loans from PFC
    • CRE payoffs totaled approximately $905 million for the year
  • Net interest margin of 3.61% increased 58 basis points year-over-year and 8 basis points quarter-over-quarter reflecting higher earning asset yields and lower funding costs
  • Reflecting the PFC acquisition, market appreciation, and organic growth, WesBanco Trust and Investment Services ("WTIS") assets under management increased to a record $7.9 billion
  • Efficiency ratio of 51.6% improved more than 8 percentage points year-over-year due to expense synergies generated from the PFC acquisition, as well as a continued focus on expense management and driving positive operating leverage
  • Successful execution of WesBanco's financial center optimization strategy with the closure of 27 locations on January 23rd

"2025 was another year of disciplined growth and strong execution for WesBanco as we continued our transformation into a regional financial services partner through our successful acquisition and integration of Premier Financial and its customers," said Jeff Jackson, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We delivered strong total and organic loan growth fully funded by deposits, strengthened our balance sheet, and improved our net interest margin. We achieved record levels of fee income and wealth management assets, while our focus on cost control drove our efficiency ratio into the low 50 percent range. Together, these underscore the strength of our organic growth-oriented business model and position us well to continue delivering value for our customers and stakeholders."

Balance Sheet
WesBanco's balance sheet, as of December 31, 2025, reflects both the PFC acquisition and organic growth. Total assets increased 48.2% year-over-year to $27.7 billion, including total portfolio loans of $19.2 billion and total securities of $4.5 billion. Total portfolio loans increased 51.9% year-over-year due to acquired PFC loans of $5.9 billion and organic growth of $657 million, driven by the commercial teams. CRE payoffs have continued to increase and totaled approximately $415 million during the fourth quarter of 2025 and $905 million for the year, more than 2.5 times the prior year-to-date period.

Deposits of $21.7 billion increased 53.3% year-over-year due to acquired PFC deposits of $6.9 billion and organic growth of $662 million, which fully funded year-over-year organic loan growth. On a sequential quarter basis, total deposits increased $385 million, also fully funding quarter-over-quarter loan growth, due to the efforts of our consumer and business teams more than offsetting the intentional runoff of $55 million of higher cost certificates of deposit. Reflecting the addition of PFC deposits, which included $1.3 billion of certificates of deposit, total demand deposits represented 49% of total deposits, with the non-interest bearing component representing 25%.

Credit Quality
As of December 31, 2025, criticized and classified loans, non-performing loans, and non-performing assets as percentages of the loan portfolio and total assets have remained low, from a historical perspective, and within a consistent range through the last five years. As expected, criticized and classified loans as a percent of total portfolio loans decreased 7 basis points from the sequential quarter to 3.15%. Net charge-offs for the fourth quarter were 0.06% of total loans.

The allowance for credit losses to total portfolio loans at December 31, 2025 was 1.14% of total loans, or $218.7 million. Excluded from the allowance for credit losses and related coverage ratio are fair market value adjustments on previously acquired loans representing 1.57% of total portfolio loans.

Net Interest Margin and Income
The fourth quarter margin of 3.61% improved 58 basis points year-over-year through a combination of higher loan and securities yields and lower funding costs, and improved 8 basis points sequentially. Deposit funding costs of 245 basis points for the fourth quarter of 2025 decreased 26 basis points from the prior year period. When including non-interest bearing deposits, deposit funding costs for the fourth quarter were 184 basis points.

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $222.3 million, an increase of $95.8 million, or 75.7% year-over-year, reflecting the impact of the benefits from the PFC acquisition, loan growth, higher loan and securities yields, and lower deposit and FHLB borrowing costs. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, net interest income of $814.3 million increased $336.1 million, or 70.3%, primarily due to the reasons discussed for the three-month period comparison.

Non-Interest Income
For the fourth quarter of 2025, non-interest income of $43.3 million increased $6.9 million, or 18.9%, from the fourth quarter of 2024 due primarily to the acquisition of PFC. Service charges on deposits increased $3.0 million year-over-year, reflecting the addition of PFC, fee income from new products and services and treasury management, and increased general consumer spending. Digital banking fees increased $1.3 million from higher volumes primarily associated with our larger customer base. Reflecting record asset levels, trust fees and net securities brokerage revenue increased $2.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively, due to the addition of PFC wealth clients, market value appreciation, and organic growth. Bank-owned life insurance increased $1.9 million year-over-year due to the addition of PFC. Other income decreased $2.0 million due to a $2.3 million gain in the prior year from the transfer of certain liabilities for future pension payments to a third-party insurance company. Gross swap fees were $3.4 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $1.3 million in the prior year period, while fair value adjustments were $0.5 million as compared to $1.9 million, respectively.

Primarily reflecting the items discussed above, as well as mortgage banking income, non-interest income, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, increased $38.8 million, or 30.3%, year-over-year to $166.8 million. Mortgage Banking income increased due to an approximate 43% year-over-year increase in residential mortgage originations primarily related to our larger customer base.

Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense, excluding restructuring and merger-related costs, for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $144.4 million, a $43.9 million, or 43.7%, increase year-over-year primarily due to the addition of the PFC expense base associated with approximately 900 employees and 70 financial centers, but were down slightly as compared to the third quarter, reflecting expense management. Salaries and wages of $61.7 million and employee benefits expense of $17.1 million increased due to higher staffing levels and higher health insurance costs. Amortization of intangible assets of $7.2 million increased $5.2 million year-over-year due to the core deposit intangible asset that was created from the acquisition of PFC. Restructuring and merger-related expenses of $3.5 million are primarily related to costs associated with the financial center optimization.

Excluding restructuring and merger-related expenses, non-interest expense during the first twelve months of 2025 of $548.6 million increased $153.2 million, or 38.7%, compared to the prior year period, due primarily to the expenses described above. Equipment and software expense of $62.6 million reflects the addition of PFC and the additional cost of operating two core systems until the conversion to one platform in mid-May. FDIC insurance expense of $20.9 million increased due to our larger asset size.

Capital
WesBanco continues to maintain what we believe are strong regulatory capital ratios, as both consolidated and bank-level regulatory capital ratios are well above the applicable "well-capitalized" standards promulgated by bank regulators and the BASEL III capital standards. At December 31, 2025, Tier I leverage was 9.42%, Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 11.38%, common equity Tier 1 capital ratio ("CET 1") was 10.34%, and total risk-based capital was 13.88%. In addition, the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 8.13%.

Fourth quarter 2025 preferred stock dividends totaled $12.9 million, reflecting the $2.5 million dividend and $5.5 million redemption premium on the Series A preferred stock, which was redeemed on November 15th, and a $4.9 million dividend on the new Series B preferred stock.
