AI CONVICTION THESIS

WesBanco clears the calibrated bar. All three legs are above the floor (Q52 V57 M70) and an active buyback provides the required corroboration. Nothing adverse survives the evidence test: the only insider figure on file is selling that rounds to 0.00% of shares outstanding, which the framework treats as unusable rather than adverse, and there is no negative earnings revision. Momentum at M70 is the strongest part of the case.
