Wells Fargo rated Strong Buy with $97 target, 21% upside on Fed asset cap removal and growth prospects.

Wells Fargo is rated a Strong Buy with a price target of $97, suggesting a 21% upside from its current $80 price. The removal of the Federal Reserve's asset cap allows the bank to expand its balance sheet, supporting earnings per share growth to $8.07 by 2027. Key growth drivers include rising net interest income, expanding fee-based revenue, disciplined cost cuts, and ongoing share repurchases. Risks such as credit quality issues, net interest margin pressure, and regulatory capital constraints exist but current improvements support a positive outlook.

As of Oct 15, 2026 22:31 WIB, Wells Fargo shares trade at USD 81.55 on Pluang, up 0.80% for the day. The stock's market capitalization stands at $242.83 billion, with a dividend yield of 2.47%. Despite some risks noted in the earnings outlook, the stock shows steady investor interest with a typical hold time of 88 days.
