The latest announcement is out from Wells Fargo ( (WFC) ).
In 2025, Wells Fargo’s independent directors approved total compensation of $40 million for Chairman and CEO Charles W. Scharf, following a recommendation from the Board’s Human Resources Committee based on a broad review of company and individual performance across financial and non-financial measures. The decision reflects board recognition of Scharf’s leadership in closing seven regulatory consent orders, securing the removal of the Federal Reserve’s asset cap, strengthening risk and control infrastructure, and driving improved financial metrics including net income of $21.3 billion, a 17% rise in diluted EPS, a higher ROE of 12.4% versus 11.4% in 2024, and fee-based revenue growth of 5%, while maintaining disciplined expenses, returning roughly $23 billion to shareholders through dividends and buybacks, and establishing a new medium-term ROTCE target of 17–18%.
The most recent analyst rating on (WFC) stock is a Buy with a $95.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Wells Fargo stock, see the WFC Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on WFC Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, WFC is a Neutral.
The score is driven primarily by solid underlying financial profitability and a constructive 2026 outlook (NII growth targets, strong capital position), tempered by negative TTM operating/free cash flow and increased leverage. Technical indicators are notably weak (bearish trend and oversold momentum), while valuation is supportive with a moderate P/E and a near-2% dividend yield.
