Wells trades at 1.3x book value, but at low 10x PE. Just suffered two downgrades, which he disagrees with. Management is highly focused on cutting costs, improving new technology, and they're getting away from their problematic past. He likes it that WFC is out of favour, because it's an opportunity.

Legacy tarnish on management. There's such choice in the space, why would he pick one with management missteps? He likes the true blue of JPM, BAC, and MS.

Better options in banking sector (JP Morgan/Bank of America). If suffered losses, can sell and move on. Outlook for business not as good as other names. Not as well managed.

Sell the loss, even though in an RRSP?

Lots of ethical problems, under strict regulatory scrutiny, which holds back earnings and dividend growth. She got out when those problems started, not tempted to return. Sell, and look to JPM or MDLZ.

The CEO has steered a great turnaround their last report was great. He just added more shares. Banks are slumping, but they're slumping as a group. Don't give up on them.

COMMENT
Wells Fargo

The stock fell given misleading clients, but that's in the past. A different company now. A cheap stock and expects good earnings to come. A large money center bank now, but lacks the scale to compete with peers like JPM or BAC, both of which he prefers.

COMMENT
Wells Fargo

Bank earnings start on Friday, and he expects a good report, but the market will yawn.

Banks reported their Q2 today, but the reaction to Wells is so-so, muted. Office real estate is weak and the CEO talking about the regulatory environment tightening--you must be concerned about these.

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.

He expects a strong report. They had a nice upgrade today. Good loan loss reserves and they have a safe bond portfolio.

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

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.

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.
