UBSI

In the past six months (April 2026 - October 2026), United Bankshares, Inc. reported first-quarter 2026 earnings of $124.2 million ($0.89 diluted EPS) and declared a $0.38 per share dividend payable on April 1, 2026. For the second quarter of 2026, record earnings of $131.4 million ($0.95 per diluted share) were reported, with a $0.38 per share dividend declared on May 13, 2026, payable on July 1, 2026. On August 24, 2026, a third-quarter dividend of $0.38 per share was declared, payable on October 1, 2026, and a new stock repurchase program authorizing the buyback of up to 6.8 million shares was announced. In September 2026, Phil Poliquin was hired to lead the Government Contracting Business. The stock experienced a slight dip due to a broader financial sector pullback as investors shifted towards AI and technology, and regional banks faced pressure from surging Treasury yields, yet UBSI demonstrated relative stability and attracted institutional interest. Investors are anticipating the Q3 earnings report on October 22, 2026.
