Analysis

United Bankshares, Inc (UBSI) currently trades at $48.32, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $43.83, implying the stock looks roughly 9.3% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 61/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).

Over the trailing twelve months, United Bankshares, Inc generated revenue of $1.2B at a net margin of 41.0%. Revenue grew 10.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 9.3%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $1.6B. Fundamentals as of Jul 18, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $32.87 (bear case) to $54.79 (bull case); at $48.32, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades near its 52-week high and 45% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 42% fair-value upside, at -9%, UBSI screens richer than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
