Forward guidance
Wells Fargo expects results to continue to benefit from the rising interest rate environment with growth in net interest income expected to more than offset any further near-term pressure on noninterest income. Credit losses are expected to increase from current low levels, but no meaningful deterioration has been seen in consumer or commercial portfolios. Efficiency initiatives are on track, and the Federal Reserve stress test confirmed the company's strong capital position and capacity to return excess capital to shareholders through dividends and common stock repurchases.
Tailwinds
- Results should continue to benefit from the rising interest rate environment.
