United Bankshares: A Neat-And-Tidy Operator
United Bankshares, the holding company for West Virginia's United Bank, has notched up over 50 years of consecutive annual dividend growth. United has consistently outperformed peers on credit quality. This may stand it in good stead given current economic uncertainty.
