WHEELING, W.Va., July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- WesBanco, Inc. (Nasdaq: WSBC), a diversified, multi-state bank holding company, announced today that it has been recognized as one of America's High Growth Companies for 2026 by Business Insider. The distinction highlights the Company's sustained financial performance, disciplined execution, and ability to deliver consistent value to shareholders.
"This meaningful recognition underscores WesBanco's long-term strategy and disciplined approach to sustained growth," said Jeff Jackson, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We continue to execute with consistency and purpose, prioritizing responsible growth while delivering relationship-driven banking to the people, businesses, and communities we serve."
The 2026 list includes 500 large U.S. corporations selected from more than 3,000 publicly traded companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq. Companies were evaluated across key performance metrics, including revenue and profitability growth, investor value, and financial stability.
WesBanco's inclusion reflects its strong financial performance and disciplined execution, highlighted by a loan growth CAGR of seven percent since 2021, significant year-over-year earnings per share (EPS) and net interest margin (NIM) growth, and a strong return on tangible common equity ratio. This performance has been driven by a balanced mix of organic momentum and strategic initiatives, including the successful acquisition and integration of Premier Financial Corp. in 2025 as well as targeted Commercial and Retail expansion in high-growth markets such as South Florida and Tennessee, which have enhanced the Company's scale. Together, these efforts have strengthened the Bank's long-term growth profile and positions WesBanco as a growing regional financial institution.
