Wells Fargo Reports Strong Q3 Results, Stock Surges
Wells Fargo has reported strong third-quarter results, with total revenue and per-share profitability surpassing analyst estimates. The bank's net income grew by 9% year over year to nearly $5.6 billion, while total revenue reached over $21.4 billion, a 5% improvement. Wells Fargo's stock has risen by more than 8% this week following these results.
The bank's improvements can be attributed to several factors. Fee-based income from commercial and consumer operations increased, along with higher vehicle loan originations. Additionally, total client assets for its wealth and investment management business grew. Average loans crept up by 2% to just under $929 billion in the third quarter. However, average deposits declined marginally to almost $1.34 trillion during the same period.
Wells Fargo's CEO, Charlie Scharf, spoke at CNBC’s Invest in America Forum on October 16, 2025, about the company's progress and the challenges in the banking sector. Although he has not publicly accepted the third quarter results, investors seem optimistic, reflected in the stock's performance.
