United Bankshares (ISIN US9099071071) stock was last at USD 46.06 on Nasdaq on October 6, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET, down 0.80 percent from the previous close. The next company checkpoint is the Q3 2026 report scheduled for October 22, 2026, before the market opens, according to MarketBeat.

Q2 EPS rose 11.8 percent

United Bankshares delivered diluted EPS of USD 0.95 in Q2 2026, up from USD 0.85 in Q2 2025. According to Simply Wall St, quarterly revenue reached USD 318.9 million, an increase of 6.2 percent, while net income rose 9.1 percent to USD 131.4 million. The reported profit margin was 41 percent, compared with 40 percent a year earlier.

The company operates through United Bank and provides commercial and retail banking, lending, treasury management, wealth management and mortgage services. Its investor-relations page says the group had more than 240 offices as of June 30, 2026, across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States, including West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina and Georgia, according to United Bankshares.

Consensus target stays above USD 46.06

MarketBeat's October 6, 2026 profile lists a Hold consensus based on 7 analysts, including 3 Buy ratings and 4 Hold ratings. The average target is USD 47.80, with a high of USD 50.00 and a low of USD 44.00, according to MarketBeat.

The average target lies 3.78 percent above the October 6 price of USD 46.06. That spread is narrower than the distance between the consensus range, so the next earnings release may carry more weight than the headline target alone.

Q3 report is set for October 22

MarketBeat lists consensus Q3 2026 EPS of USD 0.93 and expected revenue of USD 327.36 million. The report date is earlier than the next regular quarterly cycle, giving investors a defined checkpoint for whether the Q2 growth rates continue into the second half of 2026.

For investors, the key comparison is between the USD 0.95 diluted EPS delivered in Q2 and the USD 0.93 consensus estimate for Q3. The figures point to a modest sequential earnings decline in the forecast, while the Q2 year-over-year increase provides the stronger established trend.
