Fundamental quality
79
out of 100
Wells Fargo & Company is a mature, stable business: it earns money solidly (net margin 25.5%) but grows slowly (2.6% a year). On fundamental quality it scores 79 out of 100, profiling it as a company with solid fundamentals. Its weakest area is its financial strength. Whether it's cheap or expensive depends on the current price, which you can compute in the tool.
Wells Fargo is one of the largest banks in the U.S., heavily focused on traditional banking: mortgages, loans and deposits for individuals and businesses. It's emerging from years of regulatory problems that capped its growth.
EPS growth: 42.6% · Revenue growth: 2.6%
Net margin: 25.5% · ROE: 12.2%

The score combines growth, profitability and financial strength. Here its growth weighs in its favor, while its financial strength drags it down the most.
