Best Bank Stocks For 2019: Wells Fargo & Company(WFC)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Travis Hoium]

    Companies that get a bad reputation from consumers often do so because they don’t have to make their experience better to keep customers. Great examples of this are a cable company that operates as a monopoly in many areas, like Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA), or a bank you just can’t get away from, like Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC). Or even a company with all kinds of data about you that doesn’t seem to manage that data carefully, like Equifax Inc. (NYSE:EFX).

    Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG)took just a smidge of a haircut after releasing its first-quarter report, despite putting up huge ad revenue growth.What gives? 3M (NYSE:MMM) followed a knockout 2017 with a not-so-great start to the new year, but long-term investors shouldn’t sweat it too hard. Wells Fargo(NYSE:WFC) held its annual meeting today, and despite its CEO’s stated devotion to rebuilding customer trust, things don’t look so great for the bank — and could look even worse in a few weeks after Berkshire Hathaway’s (NYSE:BRK-A) (NYSE:BRK-B) annual meeting. Tune in to find out more.

    Frankel:Yeah. Buffett said in his letterthis year, about three months ago, thatshareholders shouldn’t pay much attention to Berkshire’searnings going forward. Basically,there’s an accounting change now that requireswhat they call unrealized gains on investments,meaning stocks they haven’t sold yet,to be included in earnings figures. Asmost listeners know,the stock market did not have a great first quarter to 2018. This wasespecially true for some of Buffett’s stocks.Wells Fargo(NYSE:WFC) had a particularly bad time.Coca-Cola, Kraft Heinz are all doing pretty poorly.This made Berkshire look like they lostover $1 billion,when in reality, theiroperating earnings, which is the earnings that are actually being generated by itsbusinesses, grewto a record high level, up almost 50% year over year. It wasactually about a $5 billion profit, and thechange in value of the company’sstock portfoliomade it look like a loss.

    As far as positive surprises go,Wells Fargo(NYSE:WFC) was probably the biggest positive surprise. I probably don’t have to tell most listeners, Wells Fargo hasn’t had the best couple of years,when it comes to their fake accounts scandal, the fallout from that, the other mini scandals along the way, and just recently, their punishment by the same Federal Reserve that says they’re not allowed to grow until they improve. They actually got the approval to buy backmore than twice the amount of stock that they did last year.One, that says a lot about how well-capitalized they are. Two, it alsosays a lot that theirmanagement’s willing to do that, that they think that their stock is at such a compelling bargain right now that they’re willing to spend over $25 billion on buybacks alone.
