WesBanco reported record commercial loan production of nearly $4 billion in the first nine months of 2026, driven by expansion into southern markets. The bank benefits from maturing loans rolling into higher interest rates, which protects net interest margins into 2027. Additionally, criticized and classified loans declined by $93 million, improving overall balance sheet health.

WesBanco is expected to report declining earnings despite revenue growth for Q3 2026, with an Earnings ESP of -0.61% and Zacks Rank #3 making an earnings beat unlikely. Hancock Whitney is projected to show stronger earnings growth of 10.7% year-over-year, but similarly faces a negative Earnings ESP of -0.20% despite its Zacks Rank #2 rating, making conclusive earnings beat predictions difficult for both banks.
