United Bankshares (UBSI) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
United Bankshares Inc. (UBSI) demonstrates a positive financial outlook, evidenced by strong loan growth forecasts, with projected mid-single-digit organic loan growth of 5.0% for both 2025 and 2026. The company reported a 2% increase in end-of-period (EOP) deposits and consistent loan growth, particularly in the high-performing North Carolina and South Carolina markets, which saw increases of 12.5% year-over-year. Additionally, UBSI has announced its 51st consecutive year of dividend increases, indicating robust performance and appealing to dividend-focused investors, while a more favorable regulatory environment is anticipated to further bolster growth prospects.
Bears say
United Bankshares Inc. has experienced a decline in core loan yields, which fell 18 basis points to 5.98%, below the anticipated 6.10%, signifying weakening loan profitability. The net interest margin (NIM) also reported a decrease of 3 basis points to 3.49%, falling short of both consensus estimates and management's expectations, which could translate to lower earnings potential moving forward. Additionally, the company's outlook for 2025 operating earnings per share has been revised downward due to anticipated reductions in net interest income and mortgage banking fee income, reflecting broader concerns about credit volatility and operational disruptions.
