Most of this week's coverage centers on Wells Fargo's own analyst actions on other names rather than developments at the bank itself. The firm downgraded Netflix to underweight, citing an 8% drop in viewership time per subscriber and a weaker content slate, a call that has weighed on Netflix shares through the week. Separately, Wells Fargo upgraded Savers Value Village to Hold and initiated coverage with an Equalweight rating. Also noted is a report that Allspring Global Investments, a former Wells Fargo asset manager, is weighing a $4 billion sale, and a disclosure that Nykredit A/S opened a new $191.09 million position in WFC shares during the second quarter.
Wells Fargo next reports earnings on 13 October 2026, 23 days out, within a typical 20-trading-day holding window; the prior quarter showed diluted EPS of $2.00 against expectations, with a modest -0.2% reaction, following six beats in the last eight quarters and an average absolute move of 5.1%. Seasonality over this stretch has averaged a 4.1% gain across five years but rose in only two of them. Analyst coverage stands at 9 buys and 6 holds among 15 firms, with a consensus target of $100.46.

Last earnings call, Jul 14, 2026 AI summary
- What they said
- Wells Fargo reported a strong second quarter with broad-based revenue growth and improved profitability. Diluted EPS rose to $2.00 (up 25% YoY) and net earnings increased to $4.1 billion (up 17% YoY). Revenue grew 9% YoY (net interest income +5%, noninterest income +13%). Management highlighted efficiency gains (headcount down for 24 consecutive quarters), continued investments across growth areas (branches, advisors, markets, AI, cyber), stable credit performance with lower net loan charge-offs, and momentum in markets and transaction businesses. Management reiterated strategic priorities: grow fee-based revenues, balance NII and non-interest income, continue expense discipline, and deploy capital prudently (buybacks within capital targets). During Q&A they addressed NIM dynamics (expect modest Q3 compression then stabilization), deposit cost pressures (interest-bearing deposit growth), loan growth drivers (consumer auto, commercial new business), capital deployment (CET1 target ~10–10.5%, buybacks ongoing), and credit quality (healthy consumer and commercial portfolios).
- Guidance
- Management reiterated prior NII target of ~$50 billion (stated as $50 billion "plus or minus" consistent with earlier communications). They expect a modest NIM decline in Q3 with stabilization thereafter (potential stabilization in Q4). Deposit costs expected to inch up modestly in H2 due to growth in interest-bearing commercial and CIB deposits. Management expects RWAs to decline roughly ~7% under the proposed capital rule changes (pending finalization). CET1 target range ~10%–10.5%; buybacks to continue subject to capital, business, and market conditions.
- Risks flagged
- NIM compression from growth in lower-spread interest-bearing deposits and markets financing balances; potential volatility in short-term rates and macro conditions; competitive pressures in wholesale lending and non-bank capital deploying into higher-risk assets; uncertainty until finalization of proposed capital rules (affects capital deployment plans); potential second-order exposures from AI/data-center related lending and supply-chain financing.
