On October 13, Wells Fargo fell 3.01% in Regular Trading, trading at $80.73 per share, with turnover of $440 million.
The move was driven by an earnings-related catalyst: third-quarter revenue came in at $21.87 billion, below the $22.31 billion market expectation, while net interest income of $12.52 billion also missed the $12.59 billion consensus, despite adjusted EPS of $1.87 edging above the expected $1.85.
Management commentary appeared to deepen the market reaction. The company said customer activity slowed markedly in the last few weeks of September and that this affected results. Although executives also described M&A and investment-banking pipelines as solid and said consumers and business clients remain healthy, the revenue shortfall and softer transaction activity overshadowed those positives. Broader weakness across large-bank peers after earnings also added pressure to sentiment.
