United Bankshares: The Dividend May Be Greater Than The Growth
United Bankshares' frequent acquisitions, including the recent Piedmont Bancorp deal, have led to deteriorating financial metrics and integration challenges. Key ratios like ROA, ROE, and capital levels have declined post-merger, with a sharp rise in credit loss provisions raising concerns about loan quality. Despite a strong dividend history and attractive yield, UBSI's valuation is high relative to peers, and organic growth remains weak.

June's Dividend Kings: 3 Ideal Buys In 25 "Safer" Dogs
Most Dividend Kings are currently overpriced, but six offer fair value where annual dividends from $1,000 invested exceed their share price. Three top-yield Dividend Kings—Altria, Northwest Natural, and Canadian Utilities—meet the ideal 'dogcatcher' standard for fair pricing and dividend safety. Analyst projections suggest select Dividend Kings could deliver up to 58% total returns by June 2026, with lower volatility than the market overall.
