Company Report

Wells Fargo Earnings: Net Interest Income Guidance Unchanged; Trading Revenue Came in Strong

Wide-moat-rated Wells Fargo reported first-quarter EPS of $1.20 per share, ahead of the FactSet consensus estimate of $1.06 per share. Trading revenue came in quite strong at $1.4 billion, which was an all-time high for the bank. Excluding the one-time FDIC special assessment of $284 million for uninsured deposits of certain failed banks during the banking turmoil of early 2023, the core operating results came in at $1.26 per share. The first-quarter numbers resulted in a return on tangible equity of 12.3%, still below management’s medium target of 15%.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Wells should have several years left of slower expense growth, while a big regulatory catalyst—the lifting of the asset cap—remains.

Bears

Wells Fargo still has consent orders outstanding, including the asset cap, and has been on defense for years, raising the potential for structural damage to its competitive positioning.
