So, why am I bearish on WFC despite its nearly 20% rally from recent lows?
While Wells Fargo has expanded its loan book, surpassing $1 trillion for the first time since 2020, I am wary of deteriorating credit quality in its Commercial and Industrial (C&I) portfolio. The previous quarter saw credit loss provisions surge 22% year-over-year to $1.1 billion, with net charge-offs spiking 71% to $360 million. I am equally concerned about NIM compression, which was down 20 basis points last quarter despite loan growth.
