Q3 2026 presentation

· Issued by Wells Fargo & Company

Summary by 6ix

Wells Fargo reported net income of $6.0 billion, or $1.87 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2026 (quarter ended September 30, 2026), on revenue of $21.9 billion, up 2% from the third quarter of 2025.

Key details

  • Net interest income, the earnings from loans and investments minus interest paid on deposits and borrowings, was $12.5 billion, up 5%. Noninterest income was $9.4 billion, down 1%. Noninterest expense was $13.7 billion, down 1%, with period-end headcount down 8% to about 194,000.
  • Average loans were $1.0 trillion, up 11%, and average deposits were $1.5 trillion, up 11%. Provision for credit losses was $1.0 billion, and net loan charge-offs were $983 million, or 0.38% of average loans (annualized).
  • The effective income tax rate was 16.4% and included $170 million of discrete tax benefits related to the resolution of prior period matters.
  • Wells Fargo bought back $2.5 billion of common stock, or 28.6 million shares, in the quarter and raised its quarterly common dividend to $0.50 per share from $0.45 per share in the second quarter of 2026. Its Common Equity Tier 1 ratio, a measure of core capital against risk-weighted assets, was 10.0% at September 30, 2026.
  • Wells Fargo expects 2026 net interest income of +/- $50 billion and 2026 noninterest expense of ~$55.7 billion, both unchanged from prior guidance, and fourth-quarter 2026 net interest income of ~$13 billion.

What’s still pending

  • The results are preliminary. Final results will be reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, and may differ materially.
  • The September 30, 2026 Common Equity Tier 1, liquidity coverage ratio and total loss absorbing capacity figures are preliminary estimates.
  • The 2026 and fourth-quarter 2026 figures are expectations. Wells Fargo says net interest income will depend on uncertain factors, including interest rate levels, deposit balances and pricing, and loan demand.

      • Increased Treasury Management and Payments revenue on higher deposit balances

      • Higher Lending revenue on higher loan balances

  • Noninterest expense up 4% YoY driven by higher personnel expense and professional and outside services expense, partially offset by the impact of efficiency initiatives

Summary Financials



  • Revenue decreased YoY on lower net interest income due to the impact of lower interest rates on crediting rates to our operating segments and lower noninterest income reflecting lower revenue from our venture capital investments and a decrease in lease income related to the sale of our rail car leasing business

  • Noninterest expense down YoY due to lower severance expense and lower lease expense associated with the sale of our rail car leasing business



‌Outlook

Net Interest Income

  • Expect 2026 net interest income (NII) to be +/- $50 billion, unchanged from prior guidance

  • Expect 4Q26 net interest income to be ~$13 billion

Net interest income performance will ultimately be determined by a variety of factors, many of which are uncertain, including the absolute level of rates and the shape of the yield curve; deposit balances, mix and pricing; and loan demand

Noninterest Expense

  • Expect 2026 noninterest expense to be ~$55.7 billion, unchanged from prior guidance

    ‌Net Interest Income Excluding Markets

    Wells Fargo & Company and Subsidiaries

    NET INTEREST INCOME EXCLUDING MARKETS

    We also evaluate the Company's net interest income excluding the net interest income of the Corporate and Investment Banking Markets (Markets) line of business. Markets net interest income includes interest income earned on the assets and interest expense paid on the liabilities of the line of business, as well as funding charges and credits using our funds transfer pricing methodology. Net interest income excluding Markets is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is useful because it enables management, investors, and others to assess the net interest income from the Company's lending, investing, and deposit-raising activities without the volatility that may be associated with Markets activities.

    The table below provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to a GAAP financial measure.

    ‌Tangible Common Equity

    Wells Fargo & Company and Subsidiaries

    TANGIBLE COMMON EQUITY

    We also evaluate our business based on certain ratios that utilize tangible common equity. Tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents total equity less preferred equity, noncontrolling interests, goodwill, certain identifiable intangible assets (other than MSRs) and goodwill and other intangibles on venture capital investments in consolidated portfolio companies, net of applicable deferred taxes. One of these ratios is return on average tangible common equity (ROTCE), which represents our annualized earnings as a percentage of tangible common equity. The methodology of determining tangible common equity may differ among companies. Management believes that return on average tangible common equity, which utilizes tangible common equity, is a useful financial measure because it enables management, investors, and others to assess the Company's use of equity.

    The table below provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to GAAP financial measures.
