Wells Fargo price target raised to $104 from $100 at Truist

Truist analyst John McDonald raised the firm’s price target on Wells Fargo (WFC) to $104 from $100 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Core themes for the U.S. large-cap banks feel similar to last year’s, including ROTCE expansion levers, net interest margin healing, capital return, positive operating leverage capacity, and whether GSIBs can continue to outperform regionals, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Each of the stocks in the firm’s large-cap banks universe has an attractive mix of EPS growth and ROTCE expansion drivers, which set up a solid outlook for 2026, Truist says.
