Wells Fargo outlines post-Asset Cap growth strategy at UBS Conference
WFC
Guidance Update
Revenue Acceleration/Inflection
New Projects/Investments
  • Wells Fargo sees 2026 consumer spend rising year-over-year across debit and credit, with delinquencies remaining low and no signs of systemic credit deterioration; commercial loan utilization is still muted, while markets activity remains robust despite periodic volatility.
  • Since the Asset Cap lift, the bank has reallocated its balance sheet to high-growth areas—launching new credit card products, expanding auto lending via the Volkswagen/Audi partnership, and rebuilding markets capabilities, evidenced by record FX volumes and ramped-up trading assets.
  • Management expects total markets revenue to grow in 2026, driven by higher net interest income offsetting potentially flat fees; card pre-provision profit should improve as 2021–2022 vintages mature, and wealth & investment management net flows are accelerating amid increased hiring and lower attrition.
  • Consumer deposit momentum is returning, with new net checking account growth in 2025 materially outpacing 2024, supported by revamped incentive systems, enhanced digital marketing, and rising branch productivity.
  • The firm maintains a substantial CET1 buffer well above regulatory minimums, with a 1.5% GSIB surcharge in place and no near-term changes expected despite potential Basel III and GSIB recalibration.

Wells Fargo outlines growth strategy and guidance at UBS 2026 conference
WFC
Guidance Update
Hiring
  • Markets revenue expected to grow year-over-year in 2026, driven by higher net interest income and offsetting lower fees, with overall growth hinging on market volatility and client financing activity.
  • Credit card vintages launched in H2 2021–2022 are maturing now, setting the stage for meaningful pre-provision profit improvement beginning in 2026 as early cohorts compound.
  • New checking account growth accelerated in 2025 versus 2024—driven by digital marketing and branch productivity—with originations split roughly 60/40 between existing and new clients and further gains expected in 2026.
  • Wealth and investment management saw net asset flows pick up in H2 2025 across branch-based Premier, private client, and independent channels, supported by new hires and declining advisor attrition.
  • Continued expense discipline with headcount down for 22 consecutive quarters (≈70,000 reductions since 2020) and a substantial CET1 buffer maintained to support organic growth and absorb potential GSIB surcharge changes.

Wells Fargo outlines growth strategy and 2026 outlook at UBS Financial Services Conference
WFC
Guidance Update
Revenue Acceleration/Inflection
New Projects/Investments
  • Post-asset cap lifting, Wells Fargo’s strategy remains unchanged, focusing on balance sheet growth in consumer cards, retail banking, investment banking, and low-RWA markets financing that it began investing in 4–6 years ago.
  • The firm expects mid-single-digit average loan growth 4Q26 vs. 4Q25 (implying ~3.5% EOP growth in 2025), driven by strong card and auto portfolios while mortgages remain flat.
  • Markets revenue is projected to grow in 2026, with higher net interest income offsetting flat-to-lower fee income, depending on market volatility.
  • On the consumer side, checking account growth has accelerated due to enhanced digital and branch capabilities, and card pre-provision profit will improve as newer vintages mature starting this year.
  • Wells Fargo maintains a significant CET1 capital buffer, well above regulatory minimums, to support continued organic growth and absorb potential GSIB surcharge recalibrations.
