BUY
Wells Fargo

She bought more today upon WF's positive quarter. WF reiterated their net interest income, but that doesn't look as positive as JPM's comments today, so it's silly the market is reacting this way. 17% total revenue growth and 45% net interest income up 45% YOY. All capital levels are good and reinstated share buybacks. EPS and revenue beats. None-interest income is -13% YOY. Trades at 0.9x book, better than JPM's.

COMMENT
Wells Fargo

He prefers the large central banks. He feels that depositors will pull money out of regional banks and place it in the large mega banks even at lower rates.. This could lead to more centralization of the banks in the U.S.

DON'T BUY
Wells Fargo

Still working out regulatory issues on selling practices.
Constrained on how fast can grow balance sheet.
Would prefer shares in JP Morgan.
Would look elsewhere in the sector.

COMMENT
Wells Fargo
Enough of being in the penalty box. The current CEO is getting punished for the mistakes of the past CEO. Shares are slowly moving up, though its peers are outpacing it.

Wells Fargo
A longtime favourite. Bank earnings began today. Things are not as bad as the bears say they are. Higher interest rates have actually benefited the banks.

BUY
Wells Fargo
WFC vs. JPM Likes its relatively low book-to-value valuation compared to other large US banks. Yield is 2.78%. He likes JPM as well, but he really likes the value of WFC. You want to start to be overweight US and global financials. Improving macro picture, and you're not going to have a bull market without financials. See his Top Picks.

They report Friday. He's bullish the banks which will benefit from rate hikes. WF has the most room to run. He owns a large position.

DON'T BUY
Wells Fargo
Lots of regulatory pressure, which is good because they have to focus on their core business. Core business and valuation have continued to improve. Retail focused, very defensive. But his preference now in this environment is the Canadian banks.

Buying January 50 call options? That trade is a surefire loser, because it would need a monster rally in a short time. However, he likes WFC as an investment. Five years ago, shares traded around $65, now $42. Sell the calls and buy the common stock. You get a 2.8% dividend yield at least. Trades at 8x 2023 earnings. He owns a large position.

(A Top Pick Feb 14/22, Down 17%) They sold it in March along with everything else. It is executing well, trades at 8X and models 23% per share growth. He would buy now.

His biggest holding. They've made a great progress under the current CEO, though shares remain down this year. It's the best bank to own as the Fed aggressively hikes rates. They just reported a top and bottom line beat with a positive forecast. Net interest income is up 36% YTD, way outperforming expectations. The high yield curve lets WF to print money (and the other banks). They have the widest net interest margin among the big banks at 2.83% (JPM is 2.09% for example). This means huge money. WF is a turnaround story that's working. WF has cut back staff to lower costs while peers are hiring more. Also, WF has a lot less capital markets exposure, which is hurting its peers who have more. True, loan losses are rising, but still below the historic norm. They have room to buyback shares in 2023.

BUY
Wells Fargo
Reported an amazing quarter today with a top and bottom line beat, underlined by cutting costs and driven by rapidly rising net interest margins. They raised their full-year net interest income forecast at 24% growth. Consumer banking was solid though their mortgage business has been awful. They have more interest rate exposure than their peers. Net interest income was up 36% YOY, more than enough to offset bad loans. Their story will get better as rates rise.
banks
BUY
Wells Fargo
US banks Net interest income from rising rates will be a boost. But mortgages and investment trading revenues will be horrible. The banks are trading at cheap valuations now, but when they report Friday they won't be clean quarters. Wells' mortgage business is significant, but WF has been shrinking it for the past 18 months and are the most sensitive to interest rates, so a rise will increase their margins.
