I'm rating Wells Fargo a Strong Buy with a $97 price target, implying 21% upside from $80. Removal of the Fed's asset cap enables balance sheet expansion, supporting EPS growth to $8.07 by 2027. Key drivers include net interest income growth, fee-based revenue expansion, disciplined cost reductions and ongoing share repurchases.
WFC targets $13 billion in Q4 net interest income as deposit growth, consumer lending momentum and improving returns support its profitability outlook.
Influential investor Jim Cramer is sticking with Goldman Sachs (GS) and Wells Fargo (WFC) after their Q3 earnings prompted contrasting reactions on Wall Street. In the most recent Investing Club morning meeting, he identified GS as his “favourite bank stock”, and maintained that WFC remains worth buying despite its mixed quarterly earnings.
