WesBanco Q1 2026 net income $84.4 million, diluted EPS $0.88 versus a year-ago loss
WesBanco reported first quarter 2026 net income available to common shareholders of $84.4 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, compared with a loss of $11.5 million, or $(0.15) per share, in the first quarter of 2025, which included merger-related charges from the Premier Financial acquisition. Excluding restructuring, merger-related and day one credit loss items, adjusted diluted EPS was $0.91 versus $0.66 a year earlier. The year-over-year comparison is distorted by the February 2025 acquisition, but the filing shows higher net interest income and margin.
