This week, Wells Fargo said that its wealth management fourth-quarter 2025 net income rose 29 per cent on a year ago to $656 million, on a 10 per cent rise in net revenue.

Net interest income rose 16 per cent to $993 million; noninterest income rose by 9 per cent to $3.367 billion. There was a $9 million provision for credit losses, contrasting with a $27 net release from a year before.

Total client assets stood at $2.509 trillion at the end of December 2025, a rise of 9 per cent.

For Wells Fargo as a whole, net income rose to $5.36 billion, up from $5.079 billion, the California-headquartered bank, and one of the largest lenders in the US, said. The bank achieved a return on tangible common equity of 14.5 per cent in the quarter, rising from 13.9 per cent a year ago.

“We have worked hard to balance short-term performance and investing for long-term success. We have funded significant increased investments in infrastructure and business growth by driving greater savings from efficiencies across the company,” chairman and CEO Charlie Scharf, said. “Over the past five years, gross expense reductions of $15 billion have allowed us to make these investments while reducing the total expense base.”

Since the start of 2026, Wells Fargo’s stock has fallen 6.6 per cent. Over 12 months to January 15, the price rose 17.1 per cent.
