Wells Fargo & Company has terminated its 2018 Consumer Financial Protection Bureau consent order related to compliance risk management programs. However, the bank still faces a $1.95 trillion asset cap imposed by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board in 2018. These restrictions persist despite ongoing efforts by regulators following the phony-accounts scandal that emerged nearly a decade ago.
Dividend Announcement and Buyback Program
The company announced a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.40 per share payable June 1, 2025, with record date May 9, 2025. Concurrently, Wells Fargo authorized a new $40 billion repurchase program set to activate after completing its current initiative. This move drove WFC shares higher by approximately 1.3% during Tuesday's trading session as investor sentiment improved.
Shareholder Approvals and Institutional Investments
Wells Fargo shareholders approved executive pay packages and director appointments with strong majority support. Pinebridge Investments significantly boosted its stake through Q4, increasing holdings by 179.4%. North Reef Capital Management acquired an additional 1.25 million shares in Q4, bringing total holdings to 2.125 million shares.
Market Strategy Adjustments
While institutional investors show confidence, Wells Fargo remains cautious about certain sectors like Arm Holdings due to tariff uncertainties. The bank's equity research team believes markets may have reached a long-term bottom earlier this month based on reduced panic and improving trade negotiations sentiment.
