Additional Reading from MarketBeat Media WesBanco Insiders Signal Confidence With Coordinated BuysWritten by Thomas Hughes. Published 10/21/2025. 
Key Points - WesBanco insiders bought in a coordinated show of strength that affirms the growth and capital return outlook.
- The stock is high-yielding at 4.8% and there is an outlook for distribution growth.
- Analysts and institutions also provide support and suggest that a robust upside is ahead.
WesBanco (NASDAQ: WSBC) insiders signal alignment and a high degree of confidence with coordinated purchases completed in September. The data tracked by InsiderTrades shows that 12 insiders — including the CEO, CFO, an EVP, and several directors — purchased shares in open-market transactions totaling more than $1.4 million on Sept. 17. The level of buying represents a multiyear high in insider activity and brings insider holdings to over 2.8% of the stock. Solving a Trillion-Dollar Problem with AI – and You Can Own a Piece With backing from Adobe and major investors, RAD Intel is gaining momentum fast. They've secured a potential Nasdaq ticker, and shares are still available at $0.81. Lock in your shares before the price changes The timing of these purchases is notable, coming after the second-quarter earnings release that confirmed the strategic benefits of WesBanco's acquisition of Premier Financial Corporation earlier this year, which expanded its territory and boosted revenue. The Q2 release was the first to reflect full integration, including a 75% year-over-year revenue increase, outperformance on both the top and bottom lines, and healthy credit ratios. The company maintains liquidity and credit reserve ratios well above Basel III standards and is in a good position to weather a financial crisis should one emerge. Institutions and Analysts Buy WesBanco in 2025 WesBanco is a small, regional bank headquartered in West Virginia with operations in eight states. The company has solid institutional support and analyst coverage, with institutions owning more than 60% of the stock and analysts rating it a Moderate Buy. The InsiderTrades data shows that institutions are buying robustly in 2025, at a pace of nearly $3 bought for each $1 sold, and analysts have been raising price targets. The seven analysts tracked remain steady in coverage with the Moderate Buy rating and see about 26% upside at the consensus price target. The trend in revisions is positive, pushing higher-end forecasts and adding roughly 15% to the consensus. If upcoming results remain favorable, that trend will likely continue to support the stock. WesBanco's 4.8% annualized dividend yield is another attraction. The dividend has been paid reliably and grown consistently over the past 14 years. The company pays only about 50% of projected earnings and has been outperforming estimates, suggesting capacity and precedent to continue dividends. Growth is modest — roughly 3% annually in 2025 — but is likely to be sustained in the foreseeable future, with potential for acceleration in upcoming quarters. WSBC: Undervalued with Strong Technical and Fundamental Support WesBanco trades at about 9x earnings, making it a value play after its acquisition. Even with a modest growth outlook — a high-single-digit CAGR — the company could trade in the low-7x range within two years and near 5x by 2030, implying the potential for the stock price to double or more over that period. The price-to-book ratio is near 0.80, further indicating value. If the company makes another acquisition, as is possible, that value could deepen. Technical factors also support an outlook for a rising share price. Trading volume spiked with the PFC acquisition; average volume is up about 25% and has been sustained, indicating increased market participation. Price action has been creeping higher over the past two years and is now aligned with a cluster of moving averages (including the 30- and 150-day EMAs), which can act as a launch pad for higher prices. Key resistance points are near $36 and $40 and may be tested before year-end.
