S&P Global ‘positive’ on Wells Fargo as regulatory burden lifts

S&P Global ‘positive’ on Wells Fargo as regulatory burden lifts
SHARE

S&P Global has recently upgraded its outlook on Wells Fargo from “stable” to “positive”, following the U.S. bank’s release from a $1.95 trillion asset cap earlier this week. This significant development comes after the U.S. Federal Reserve imposed a punitive measure on Wells Fargo in 2018, restricting its balance sheet growth in response to governance and compliance concerns stemming from a fake accounts scandal in 2016.

After seven years of stringent oversight, the Fed’s unanimous decision to lift the asset cap signifies Wells Fargo’s successful efforts to address and rectify the issues that plagued the bank in the past. As a result, Wells Fargo’s stock soared to a three-month high, gaining nearly 8.3% in a year where the S&P 500 remained relatively stagnant.

S&P Global cited Wells Fargo’s improved governance, risk, and control profile as the reason for the positive outlook, noting that the bank has made significant strides in addressing its past shortcomings. The ratings provider also anticipates that Wells Fargo will now be able to expand its commercial and investment banking business, which was heavily impacted by the asset cap and had to turn away nonoperational deposits from customers.

While Wells Fargo was forced to carefully manage its wholesale deposits and markets business under the asset cap, its peers such as JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and PNC Financial have seen substantial asset growth during the same period. JPMorgan Chase’s assets grew by nearly $2 trillion, while Bank of America and PNC Financial added about $1 trillion and nearly $200 billion, respectively.

This positive outlook for Wells Fargo signals a new chapter for the fourth-largest U.S. lender, as it looks to capitalize on its newfound freedom to expand its operations and compete more effectively in the banking industry. The bank’s successful efforts to address past issues and improve its governance and risk management practices have positioned it for growth and success in the future.
