This summary was created by AI, based on 11 opinions in the last 12 months.

Wells Fargo (WFC) has faced persistent challenges, with experts noting that the bank has been cheap for decades but struggles with management issues and execution problems. Its return on equity (ROE) sits in the middle compared to peers, and it carries a riskier credit profile, evident in its higher non-performing loan ratios and elevated efficiency ratio. Recent earnings reports indicate mixed performance; while there was some growth, it failed to meet expectations due to higher severance expenses, leading to a decline in share value. Experts are cautious about the bank's traditional lending business, although there's optimism due to the lifting of asset caps that may allow for growth. Overall, the sentiment is one of careful observation as the company undertakes a turnaround under new leadership.

There are many questions about the planned turnaround and the CEO is too reluctanct to explain his plan.

Weakest of the big US money centre banks. A chequered recent last 10 years. 60% off of pre-pandemic highs. Hard to get behind them in this environment. Err to the side of safety and go with some of the more senior banks.

WAIT

Wells Fargo(WFC)

Aug 05, 2020
Well run until the whole fiasco. Hasn't performed well from the March 23 bottom. The Fed has been pumping money in, but Wells doesn't have a capital market to benefit from this. It's more tied to the economy. Not a bad bet right now as a value play compared to its peers. Taking proactive steps to conserve cash. Wait on the banks overall.

COMMENT

Wells Fargo(WFC)

Jul 24, 2020
US Banks? The big US banks have reported this week. All have pre-signalled what they expect loan losses from the pandemic to be. All the expected losses have been big, making this sector one he is suggesting patience with. He might suggest WFC as they have new executives in place. The company has been hurt and could be moving away from the issues dogging them in the past.

He does not own this one. It trades at about 0.6 times book value and has a great dividend. The market is telling you there are issues. Their sales methodology is a key concern. They are on the road to recovery. Retail banking will be tough as margins will be squeezed in a flat yield curve world. They also don't have the diversification of a larger global player. They are mostly a commercial retail bank. He doubts they will be able to grow organically like the other big US banks. Yield 7.8%

The very big picture is that we are around generational lows in interest rates. Coming out of this you may see the long end of the bond market selloff and this is good for banks. In terms of solvency issues coming out of COVID that would be a real risk. He bought two others as the market made a turn. In the last two weeks the banks gave up their gains. He is personally short WFC-N. It is now well below the lows. He believes the markets will correct but be careful of buying the weakest bank in the sector. JPM-N or C-N would be preferred to watch.

They did not have a good Q1 in earnings. Scandals are still hurting them. He questions how it is being managed. He would wait for better news. There are better US banks out there. Yield 8%

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Wells Fargo(WFC)

Mar 12, 2020
All banks are down. This one is down 42% so far this year and could possibly go further. In the long term it is a bank that will continue to survive. Interest rates are going so low that they can't make a spread on the money they loan out. Banks are much better capitalized and in far better shape than in the financial crisis. It's going to hurt but you will look back in 5 years and say this was an opportunity.

COMMENT

Wells Fargo(WFC)

Feb 14, 2020

Wells Fargo has gone nowhere. There has been poorly managed but they have a new CEO. However, he looks for companies with good organic revenue growth that are not in the penalty box that delivers on growth. He prefers JP Morgan. They keep growing earnings, raising dividends and has a good balance sheet.

It's fighting structural problems and cultural issues. He'd buy its peers instead. WFC is losing good employees. Look at JPM, the leader in this group.

WFC vs. BAC Trading at same valuation. WFC yield is a bit higher, but has more scandals which continue to hurt their brand. Missed earnings, and missed 8 of last 12 quarters. BAC is more diversified in capital markets. BAC has beaten 12 of last 12 quarters. BAC has outperformed WFC since 2011.

If you have to hold a bank, this is relatively well positioned. Buffet is a massive holder of this one. He does not follow any of the Canadian banks. WFC-T is probably one of the better banks in the US.

WFC vs. BAC A lot of banks have started to perform. Doesn't own either of these. Both have same price to book. WFC has a slightly higher dividend yield of 3.8%, whereas BAC is 2.2%. The fraudulent accounts scandal is still hurting the WFC brand. WFC revenue relies heavily on the yield curve. He prefers BAC, as they're a little more diversified with their capital markets division.

PAST TOP PICK

Wells Fargo(WFC)

Nov 08, 2019
(A Top Pick Nov 08/18, Up 5%) He bought this as the company has been under pressure following issues with their customers. They finally hired a new CEO, who was accepted by the market. There have been growth constraints placed on them by regulators and now they seem to be getting their act together. It is starting to follow the other US banks. He is happy to continue to hold.
