Wells Fargo's Capital Plan Looks Like An Attempt To Attract Investor Attention


With the bank struggling to regain customer trust, investors have slashed the premium which Wells Fargo’s shares have demanded since the downturn. We maintain our $57 price estimate for Wells Fargo’s shares, which is slightly higher than the current market price. Wells Fargo’s quarterly dividend payout was 35 cents a share in 2014 – slightly higher than the pre-2008 figure of 34 cents. Wells Fargo’s capital plan for 2017 includes an increase in quarterly dividends from 38 cents a share to 39 cents starting from Q3 2017. Combined with $5.75 billion in repurchases over the remaining two quarters (half of the announced $11.5 billion figure), total repurchases for 2017 should be around $11.75 billion.
