Wells Fargo Q2 EPS Jumps 22% on Tariff Refunds, Signaling Strong Profitability
WFC is trading near its 52-week low of $72.775 (14% above the low).
Summary
Wells Fargo expects a significant 22% year-over-year increase in Q2 earnings per share, primarily driven by tariff refunds. This positive guidance builds on the CFO's recent comments anticipating a "step up" in Q2 net interest income and follows strong Q1 results. The projected EPS growth represents a material positive development for the bank's upcoming quarterly performance. Separately, the company listed $6 million in zero-coupon notes, an amount that is negligible for a company of Wells Fargo's scale.
