NYSE:WFC
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.
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.
They have a lot of baggage from scandals that hurt the stock. They've lost a lot of trust with American consumers. Buy the best, JPM, instead.
