Analyst John McDonald writes the management is not "locked in" to any one net interest income (NII) outcome, citing recent volatility on the short end of the curve and the overall level of uncertainty in the environment as a driver for its tempered expectations.
The original forecast expected 1–2 rate cuts in 2025, while markets now expect about 3, analyst McDonald adds. It also assumed slightly higher 10-year yields than current levels. However, the CFO said a third Fed rate cut later in the year wouldn't significantly affect the company's 2025 net interest income forecast.
Oppenheimer analyst writes, "We think WFC and all the major banks will generally acquit themselves well in whatever the economic environment throws at them. We think WFC has high potential, but is relatively fairly valued for now, and we prefer BAC, C and USB at the point."
Analyst Chris Kotowski maintains a Perform rating for Wells Fargo.
Piper Sandler analyst says credit costs are a potential wild card for Wells Fargo. While the firm is still confident in the bank's overall risk profile, it expects credit loss provisions to be about $300 million higher per quarter than what was reported in Q1.
That's due to a higher forecast for loan charge-offs (50 basis points vs. 44 in Q1) and some extra cushion for loan growth. Analyst R. Scott Siefers notes this estimate may be cautious, especially since Wells Fargo's current reserves already factor in a 5.8% unemployment rate, but with so much economic uncertainty, a conservative approach feels safer.
Piper maintains the overweight rating with a price target cut from $77 to $75.
Price Action: WFC stock is up 0.88% at $63.06 at the last check Monday.

Wells Fargo Is 'Fairly Valued,' Its Conservative Approach 'Feels Safer:' Analysts

Truist Securities analyst John McDonald slashed price forecasts and updated estimates for big banks JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) and Wells Fargo &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">their first-quarter earnings release last week</a>.
JPM: The bank reported a net revenueof $46 billion (+8% Y/Y). It beat the consensus of $44.1 billion and EPS of $5.07, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44760533/jpmorgan-kicks-off-earnings-season-strong-investment-banking-wealth-management-lead-revenue-surge" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">exceeding the consensus of $4.62</a>.
McDonald maintained the 2025 earnings per share estimate at $18.35. He also trimmed the 2026 forecast to $19.30 (a reduction of 25 cents).

The analyst says the 2025 revision reflects an upward adjustment in revenue expectations as he aligns the net interest income (NII) estimate more closely with JPMorgan's ~$94.5 billion guidance and factor in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">stronger anticipated market performance</a>.
However, the analyst adds that these gains are expected to be partially offset by weaker projections for investment banking and asset/wealth management fees.
On the other hand, the 2026 EPS revision primarily stems from expected slower growth in fee income and increased provision expenses, says the analyst.
Consequently, McDonald cut the price forecast from $264 to $251 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/jpm/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">while maintaining a Hold rating</a>.

WFC: The U.S. banking giant reported GAAP EPS of $1.39, beating the&nbsp;consensus of $1.34 and revenue of $20.15 billion vs. analyst&#8217;s&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44759629/wells-fargo-doesnt-change-outlook-but-ceo-expects-volatility-and-slower-economic-environment-in-2025" rel="noreferrer noopener">expectation of $20.75 billion</a>.
The analyst revised the 2025 EPS estimate downward to $5.65 (a reduction of 35 cents) and lowered the 2026 EPS forecast to $6.60 (down 40 cents vs the prior estimate).
These adjustments reflect expectations of flat year-over-year NII in 2025 due to lower interest rate assumptions, as well as softer market-sensitive revenue streams, particularly from venture capital/private equity, wealth management, and investment banking, adds the analyst.
McDonald has a slightly more cautious stance on credit quality. Net charge-off (NCO) assumptions are up from 0.45% in first quarter to 0.64% in 2026. A $300 million reserve was built in the second quarter.
Consequently, the analyst reduced the price target from $84 to $73, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/wfc/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">while keeping a Buy rating</a>.

Wall Street kicked off the week with a rally in financial stocks, fueled by upbeat bank earnings and renewed risk appetite following Donald Trump's surprise decision to exempt new tariffs on critical <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/04/44785381/economist-accuses-trump-tariffs-of-wrecking-the-world-economy-predicts-ways-in-which-china-will-retaliate">tech products from China</a>.
The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) climbed 1.6% to $47.42 by 10:10 a.m. ET, breaking above its 200-day moving average for the first time since November 2023—a move often seen by traders as a potential bullish signal. 
The sector needs to climb another 4% to fully recover the losses it incurred after the April 2 tariff announcement.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs Delivers A Strong Beat</h3>
The improved sentiment in financial sector's rally was led by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), which rose 1.1% after reporting robust quarterly results that beat Wall Street expectations on both revenue and profit.
For the first quarter of fiscal 2025, Goldman posted earnings per share of $14.12, up from $11.58 a year ago and well ahead of the $14.761 billion revenue consensus. Key revenue drivers included equities trading, which brought in $4.19 billion versus an expected $3.8 billion, and net interest income of $2.90 billion, comfortably above the $2.28 billion forecast.
The firm also announced a massive share buyback authorization of up to $40 billion, sending a strong signal of confidence in its balance sheet and forward earnings power. Loans reached $210 billion, topping the $197.61 billion estimate, while total deposits rose 8.8% quarter-over-quarter to $471 billion.
CEO David Solomon says geopolitical volatility remains a headwind but struck an optimistic tone on trade policy. "I&#8217;m encouraged by Trump&#8217;s more gradual tariff process,&#8221; he added.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Broader Earnings Strength Buoys Sector</h3>
Stronger-than-expected results last Friday from JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Wells Fargo &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>), BlackRock Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) and Bank of New York Mellon Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BK#NYSE">BK</a>) helped lift sentiment across the board.
JPMorgan maintains its 2025 net interest income guidance despite macroeconomic headwinds tied to trade and inflation.
Goldman analyst Richard Ramsden found this encouraging. 
"JPM continues to be in strong strategic position for a wide range of economic conditions," Ramsden said, highlighting the bank's "best-in-class capital ratios and reserves,&#8221; Ramsden said in a note. He added that if the economy weakens, JPM should trade defensively, and if the outlook improves, the bank is likely to continue gaining market share.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traders Eye Technical Breakout In Financials</h3>
The breakout in the XLF fund above its 200-day moving average could signal further gains ahead. 
This level, long watched by technical analysts as a line between bullish and bearish territory, was last crossed from below to above in November 2023. Over the following one and two months, the sector gained 6.2% and 11.8%, respectively.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Key Gainers And What's Ahead</h3>
Banking and insurance names led Monday&#8217;s charge. Among the top gainers in the XLF ETF:
<ul>
<li>Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) rose 3.6% to $63.86</li>
<li>MetLife Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MET#NYSE">MET</a>) added 2.8% to $73.41</li>

<li>Prudential Financial Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRU#NYSE">PRU</a>) advanced 2.76% to $101.56</li>
<li>Globe Life Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GL#NYSE">GL</a>) climbed 2.56% to $122.56</li>
</ul>
Investors now turn their focus to Tuesday, when Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>) and Citigroup are scheduled to report their first-quarter earnings. 
Strong numbers from these names could reinforce the bullish momentum in financials and potentially extend the rally through the week.

President Donald Trump's aggressive trade tariffs extend beyond Wall Street, rattling the Treasury market and the U.S. dollar. The turmoil is now challenging the long-held narrative of &#8220;American exceptionalism&#8221; that has underpinned global confidence in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44710975/wall-streets-american-exceptionalism-trade-falters-as-dollar-stocks-bonds-all-slide">U.S. economy for decades.</a>
A broad trade-weighted measure of the dollar fell Friday to its lowest level since April 2022. The greenback is now down 10% since Trump's inauguration, raising concerns about its global reserve status.
Although recent March inflation reports showed cooling price pressures across both consumer and producer markets, bond markets didn't react <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44762609/producer-inflation-sharply-drops-yet-treasury-yields-rise-heres-why-a-fed-rate-cut-in-may-could-be-back-on-the-table">with the usual optimism.</a>
Long-dated Treasury yields climbed steadily all week, with the 10-year yield breaking past 4.50%  — a level not seen since February. The 30-year yield briefly hit 5%, signaling that bond vigilantes —investors who dump bonds in protest of policy mistakes — have returned.
Amid widespread selling of U.S. Treasury bonds and the dollar, gold reaffirmed its role as a haven, surging to a new all-time high above $3,200 per ounce.
On Wednesday, stocks skyrocketed after the Trump administration announced a 90-day suspension of tariffs for most trade partners — China being the notable exception, with levies surging to 145%. The move triggered the biggest one-day rally on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44720903/nasdaq-100-eyes-strongest-day-since-2008-as-magnificent-seven-add-15-trillion-in-historic-market-rally">Wall Street since 2008.</a>
Still, that positive momentum faded quickly. By the week's end, investor sentiment was once again clouded by uncertainty. The White House remains committed to its hardline tariff policy against China, even as Beijing retaliated with counter-tariffs on U.S. goods that now <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44756353/xi-jinping-says-there-are-no-winners-in-tariff-war-as-china-slaps-125-tariffs-on-us-goods-urges-trump-to-immediately-correct-wrongdoings">reach as high as 125%.</a>
Meanwhile, first-quarter earnings reports from banking giants including JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) and Wells Fargo Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) delivered encouraging numbers. Yet, investors remain cautious as the true impact of tariffs likely won't be visible until the second-quarter results.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44760533/jpmorgan-kicks-off-earnings-season-strong-investment-banking-wealth-management-lead-revenue-surge">&#8220;The economy is facing considerable turbulence,"</a> JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said.
More troubling are signs from Main Street. American consumers are growing increasingly pessimistic.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/44764554/consumer-sentiment-crashes-to-3-year-lows-as-inflation-expectations-spike-to-1981-highs">University of Michigan's preliminary consumer sentiment</a> index for April plunged to its lowest level since mid-2022. Expectations for inflation jumped sharply: one-year outlooks soared to 6.7%, the highest since 1981, while five-year expectations climbed to 4.4%, the highest since 1990.

Unpacking the Latest Options Trading Trends in Wells Fargo

Wells Fargo CFO Michael Santomassimo Says Certainly The Probability Of A Recession At Some Point Is Higher Than It Was

Wells Fargo &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) shares are trading lower on Friday. This is despite the company reporting earnings <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44759629/wells-fargo-doesnt-change-outlo%5b%E2%80%A6%5deo-expects-volatility-and-slower-economic-environment-in-202">higher than estimated</a>, coming in at $1.39, which was five cents ahead of estimates.
The stock may be about to trend higher. It is trading at a support level and stocks can rally off of support. This is why we have made it our Stock of the Day.
You can see on the chart that after the panic selling that occurred over the past two weeks, the shares found support around $60.40. This didn't happen due to a coincidence. There is support at this level because it was resistance in July.
Resistance becoming support is a frequent occurrence in financial markets.
Some people who sold around $60.40 came to think they made a mistake when the resistance was broken in October and the price moved higher. A number of them decided to buy shares back if they could eventually do so at the same price they sold them.

So when the stock fell back to this level, they placed buy orders. There were so many of these buyers that they formed a support.
Some of these buyers may become concerned that other buyers will cut in front of them by increasing the prices they are willing to pay. As a result, they increase the prices they are willing to pay. Other buyers do the same.
This bidding war could result in an uptrend forming.
If Wells Fargo reaches the $66.30 level, it may hit resistance again. There is resistance here because it was support, and just like resistance can become support, support levels can become resistance.
Some people who bought shares around $66.30 regretted doing so when the support broke and the price dropped below it. When the shares rallied back up to this price, some remorseful buyers placed sell orders. There were so many of them that it created resistance.
Sometimes, stocks sell off after reaching resistance. This happens when the sellers undercut each other, so the buyers will go to them. This could result in a snowball effect that pushes the price lower.
This is what happened when Wells Fargo hit this resistance before. There is a good chance that it will happen again.

Stock Of The Day: Is The Stage Set For A Wells Fargo Rally?

Market Summary

Benzinga Market Summary: China Increases Tariffs On US Goods To 125%, March PPI Comes In Softer Than Expected, Wells Fargo Slides After Mixed Q1 Report

Producer input prices fell far more than expected in March, aligning with a broader slowdown in consumer inflation seen the previous day, as the early effects of tariffs fail to materialize <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s">at the wholesale level.</a>
The Producer Price Index (PPI) increased by 2.7% year-over-year last month, well below the previous 3.2%, according to data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The figure was sharply below economists' forecast of 3.3%.
On a monthly basis, wholesale prices fell by 0.4% in March, following an upwardly revised 0.1% increase in February and missing expectations for a 0.2% gain. The decline was driven largely by goods prices, which accounted for over 70% of the drop in the index for final demand. 
Prices for final demand goods slipped 0.9%—the steepest monthly decline since October 2023, when they fell 1.4%. More than three-quarters of March's pullback in goods prices was due to a 4.0% drop in the index for final demand energy. Notably, gasoline prices plunged 11.1%, contributing to two-thirds of the overall decline in goods. 
Other categories that saw price drops included chicken eggs, beef and veal, fresh and dry vegetables, diesel fuel, and jet fuel. 
Core producer prices—excluding food and energy—rose 3.3% year-over-year, down from an upwardly revised 3.5% in February and below expectations of a rise to 3.6%. 
On a monthly basis, core inflation declined by 0.1%, reversing the 0.1% increase seen in February and falling short of the 0.3% gain economists had forecast.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h3>
Futures on major U.S. indexes advanced by 8:37 a.m. ET, with S&amp;P 500 contracts up 0.6%, despite China raising U.S. tariffs to 125% overnight. 
Dow Jones futures led the gains, up 0.8%, lifted by stronger-than-expected earnings from major banks, including JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co.

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>). 
Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar index pared earlier losses slightly, while Treasury yields climbed, with the 10-year yield rising 7 basis points to 4.43%.

Revenue fell 3% year over year to $20.15 billion. Analysts <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">expected $20.75 billion</a>.
The U.S. banking giant&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.wellsfargo.com/assets/pdf/about/investor-relations/earnings/first-quarter-2025-earnings.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> a 6% year-over-year drop in net interest income to $11.49 billion, driven by the impact of lower interest rates on floating rate assets, deposit mix, and pricing changes, lower loan balances, partially offset by lower market funding.

Noninterest income remained flat at $8.65 billion, including a gain on the sale of commercial non-agency third-party servicing business, an increase in asset-based fees in Wealth and Investment Management on higher market valuations, and higher investment banking fees, partially offset by lower results from venture capital investments, higher net losses on debt securities, and lower net gains from trading in Markets business.
Corporate and Investment Banking revenues increased 2% to $5.06 billion. Banking was down 4% to $1.77 billion, driven by the impact of lower interest rates, partially offset by lower deposit pricing and higher investment banking revenue on increased activity in debt capital markets.
Investment advisory fees and brokerage commissions are up 7%, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wellsfargo.com/assets/pdf/about/investor-relations/earnings/first-quarter-2025-financial-results.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">driven</a> by higher asset-based fees reflecting higher market valuations.
Investment banking fees increased by 24% due to higher activity in debt capital markets.
Average loans were down 2% year-over-year to $908.2 billion, driven by declines in commercial real estate and residential mortgage loans, up $1.8 billion sequentially driven by commercial &amp; industrial loans.
Average deposits were up $12.9 billion, or 1%, year over year, as growth in customer deposits was partially offset by a reduction in higher-cost CDs issued by Corporate Treasury.
Average deposits are down $2.3 billion to 1,339.3 billion year over year, down 1% sequentially due to a reduction in higher-cost CDs issued by Corporate Treasury and declines in wholesale deposits, partially offset by higher consumer deposits.
Chief Executive Officer Charlie Scharf commented, "We produced solid results with diluted earnings per share increasing 16% from a year ago reflecting fee-based revenue growth across many of our core businesses, continued expense discipline, improved credit results&#8230;"
"We expect continued volatility and uncertainty and are prepared for a slower economic environment in 2025, but the actual outcome will be dependent on the results and timing of the policy changes,&#8221; Scharf said.
Guidance: For fiscal year 2025, Wells Fargo&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.wellsfargo.com/assets/pdf/about/investor-relations/earnings/first-quarter-2025-financial-results.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">expects</a> net interest income to be ~1 to 3% higher than 2024 net interest income of $47.7 billion, unchanged from prior guidance.
