Description: WFC Wells Fargo January 28, 2026
Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) is a diversified financial services firm operating in four primary segments: Consumer Banking & Lending, Commercial Banking, Corporate & Investment Banking, and Wealth & Investment Management. The firm offers a broad suite of products-including deposit accounts, credit cards, mortgages, auto and personal loans, treasury services, capital markets solutions, and wealth-management advisory-serving retail customers, small-business owners, corporations, and high-net-worth individuals across the United States and select international markets.
As of the latest Q4 2023 earnings release, Wells Fargo reported a net interest margin (NIM) of **3.12%**, up 6 bps year-over-year, reflecting a higher-for-longer interest-rate environment. Total loans grew **5.4%** YoY to **$1.38 trillion**, driven by strong mortgage and commercial real-estate activity, while deposits rose **7.1%** YoY to **$1.96 trillion**, indicating resilient funding amid competitive rates. The bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio held at **12.5%**, comfortably above the regulatory minimum, supporting ongoing growth initiatives.
Key economic drivers influencing Wells Fargo’s outlook include the Federal Reserve’s policy stance-current funds rate at **5.25-5.50%**-which underpins NIM expansion but also pressures mortgage demand as housing affordability tightens. Additionally, corporate cash-flow trends and credit-quality metrics in the commercial sector remain pivotal, as a slowdown in business investment could temper loan-growth momentum. The wealth-management franchise is sensitive to equity-market volatility; a 10% equity-index correction historically reduces fee-based revenue by roughly **$300 million** in the subsequent quarter.
