WesBanco Reports Record Commercial Loan Production and Improved Asset Quality in Q3 2026
WesBanco (WSBC) reported strong third-quarter 2026 financial results, highlighted by nearly $4 billion in commercial loan production during the first nine months of the year—a 70% increase compared to the previous year. This growth is largely driven by strategic expansion into high-growth southern markets like Florida and Tennessee through specialized loan production offices. The bank also demonstrated improved balance sheet health, with criticized and classified loans decreasing by $93 million (55 basis points) quarter-over-quarter to 3.19% of total loans. Additionally, management noted that upward asset repricing from maturing loans and bonds is helping protect net interest margins against rising deposit costs.
