could be a rare opportunity to add U.S. Bancorp to your portfolio at a big discount.
After a few difficult years, could this bank turn the corner?
Like U.S. Bancorp, Wells Fargo doesn't have a large investment banking operation, so it too has been hard-hit by the coronavirus pandemic. Unlike U.S. Bancorp, however, Wells Fargo had been underperforming the financial sector for several years, due to its fake accounts scandal and numerous other misbehaviors that led the Federal Reserve to slap it with an unprecedented growth-restricting penalty.
In all, Wells Fargo has lagged the financial sector by a staggering 82 percentage points (total return of -46% versus a gain of 36%) since 2016 and now trades for just 65% of its book value. Just to put this into perspective, prior to its scandals, Wells Fargo was regularly in the same price-to-book-value neighborhood as U.S. Bancorp.
Wells Fargo has generally high asset quality and is highly profitable. If it hadn't added $8.4 billion to its loan loss reserves in the second quarter, the bank would have generated a $6 billion net profit. New CEO Charlie Scharf is doing a great job of helping the bank move on from its troubled recent history, and incoming CFO Mike Santomassimo has a fantastic track record when it comes to expense reduction, which is a major priority for Wells now.

Shares of Wells Fargo & Co. WFC, +1.33% rose 0.3% in afternoon trading Friday, after UBS analyst Saul Martinez backed away from his bearish view on the bank, citing potential expense leverage and a more balanced risk-vs.-reward profile given the stock's underperformance this year. The stock has tumbled 55.2% year to date, while the PHLX/KBW Bank Index BKX, +1.38% has dropped 33.0% and the S&P 500 SPX, +0.05% has gained 2.9%. From the post-COVID-19 closing lows, Wells's stock has gained just 7.0% while the bank index has rallied 35.2% and the S&P 500 has soared 48.6%. UBS's Martinez raised his rating to neutral, after being at sell the past four months, and lifted his price target to $24 from $21. He said that while revenue headwinds persist, he has greater confidence in expense reductions and sees potential for multiple expansion towards peer levels as valuations have been discounted to after the stock's underperformance. "Unlike many banks, Wells Fargo has ample room to reduce costs beyond 2022, an important differentiator in a persistently low interest rate environment," Martinez wrote in a note to clients

Wells Fargo WFC 0.11% & Co. posted its highest revenue since before the pandemic began as its fortunes revived along with the U.S. economy.
The San Francisco-based bank said Wednesday that its revenue rose 11% from a year ago to $20.27 billion, topping the $17.76 billion analysts had expected. That was due to fees and other noninterest income, which rose 37% from a year earlier to $11.47 billion.
Wells Fargo was the only lender among the four biggest to post an increase in revenue last quarter. It was aided by one-time gains, including higher valuations on its venture capital and private-equity investments. Mortgage banking income also quadrupled from a year earlier to $1.34 billion.
