Wells Fargo Just Got Unshackled. What Next?

WASHINGTON, DC - MAY 31: A Wells Fargo logo is displayed on a sign at an ATM on May 31, 2025 in ... More Washington, DC. (Photo by) Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) stock has increased by 3% over the past week and is up nearly 9% year-to-date. The recent uptick follows the announcement from the U.S. Federal Reserve last week stating that Wells Fargo will no longer be bound by the $1.95 trillion asset cap enforced on the bank's operations due to its prolonged sales practices scandal. The Federal Reserve highlighted that Wells Fargo has made significant strides in rectifying its previous issues, especially in governance and risk management areas. The $1.95 trillion asset cap had compelled the bank to limit its lending and deposit acceptance, resulting in it falling considerably behind competitors like JPMorgan Chase, which currently holds over $4 trillion in assets. Consequently, Wells Fargo altered its strategy to concentrate on businesses that yield higher returns and are less capital-intensive, such as investment banking and advisory services. Although the cap restricted growth, it also motivated the bank to become leaner and more efficient, enhancing its emphasis on risk management and operational discipline. Now that the limitation is removed, Wells Fargo can expand its balance sheet and earnings by acquiring more commercial deposits, which offer less expensive and more stable funding sources that can lower overall capital costs. This could enable the bank to reinvest in areas that benefit from its larger balance sheet. Separately, if you are seeking upside potential with a more stable experience than an individual stock, consider the High Quality portfolio, which has outperformed the S&P and achieved >91% returns since inception. Wells Fargo's Q1 figures were mixed. Net income grew by 6% year-over-year to $4.89 billion, while revenue decreased by 3%. Net interest income, a measure of the earnings from lending activities, fell by 6% year-over-year to $11.50 billion. Noninterest income, which encompasses fees from investment banking, brokerage, and advisory services, rose by 1% to $8.65 billion compared to last year's $8.64 billion. The banking industry has generally adopted a cautious stance regarding the near-term outlook due to geopolitical uncertainties, the U.S. imposing tariffs on trading partners, and concerns about inflation. Fears of inflation have pushed Treasury yields higher, with the 10-year yield exceeding 4.40%, up from 4.01% in early April, while the yield on the 30-year bond stands just below 5%. This may yield mixed consequences for Wells Fargo. Rising rates and market fluctuations could negatively impact the investment banking sector, as these factors frequently result in delays in IPOs, mergers, and acquisition activities. However, on the lending front, higher yields increase the gap between what banks earn from loans and what they pay on deposits, generally improving net interest income and overall profitability, although they could also affect credit quality to some degree. We assess WFC stock to be worth around $71 per share, which is slightly under the current market valuation. Refer to Trefis' estimate for Wells Fargo's valuation.

‘No Turnaround in Sight,' Says Wedbush About GameStop Stock

GameStop (NYSE:GME) is known for its fanbase of rabid retail investors, but the love is not one the company seems to reciprocate. For the past three years, the struggling video game retailer has failed to hold a conference call or provide guidance when releasing quarterly reports. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter With the company poised to report F1Q25 results tomorrow (June 10), Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter expects 'no improvement in their attitude toward investors.' But what about the actual results? For the quarter, Pachter expects net sales of $750 million, representing a 14.9% year-over-year drop, and EPS of $0.08. That compares to consensus expectations of $754 million and $0.04, respectively. Industry-wide, both hardware and software sales declined y/y, though software held up better thanks to a strong release lineup during the quarter. Hardware sales saw a sharp y/y downturn, largely because the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S have been on the market for several years now. However, Pachter expects hardware demand to rebound next quarter with the launch of the Switch 2. In Q1, profits should get a boost from a stronger software mix, while higher interest income – driven by recent share offerings – will help offset ongoing operating losses. Taking a leaf out of the MicroStrategy playbook, GameStop has also begun accumulating Bitcoin and now owns 4,710 BTC. That said, MicroStrategy trades at roughly 1.75 times the value of its Bitcoin holdings, indicating that investors assign it a premium beyond just its crypto assets. In comparison, GameStop trades at about 2.4 times the value of its cash, which now includes Bitcoin. This suggests investors are giving GameStop a similar kind of Bitcoin-related premium, even though its core retail business is being implicitly valued at just $8 per share. What Pachter finds 'baffling' is that GameStop's Bitcoin holdings are tiny compared to MicroStrategy's – just about 1% as much. Yet both stocks are receiving similar levels of crypto-related investor enthusiasm. While GameStop has seen some 'modest success' with its move into trading cards, Pachter thinks there's 'no potential for a rebound in GameStop's core business,' but that hasn't really mattered here. 'Despite a complete lack of an articulated strategy, GameStop has consistently been able to capitalize on the existence of 'greater fool' willing to pay more than twice its asset value for its shares—and so far, they've been right,' Pachter said. But in his view, GME shares are trading 'at a level that ignores the company's many challenges ahead.' As such, ahead of the print, Pachter rates GME shares an Underperform (i.e., Sell), along with a $13.5 price target, suggesting the shares will shed 54% of their value over the next year.

Wayve and Uber Partner to Launch L4 Autonomy Trials in the UK

LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wayve and Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) today announced a first-ever plan to develop and launch public-road trials of Level 4 (L4) fully autonomous vehicles in London. This announcement marks the UK as the largest market where Uber has announced an intention to pilot autonomous vehicles. These trials will combine Wayve's industry-leading Embodied AI platform with Uber's global mobility network, marking a significant step forward in bringing autonomous vehicles to the streets of Europe at scale. This opportunity has been enabled by the UK Secretary of State for Transport's announcement today of an accelerated framework for self-driving commercial pilots, a crucial step towards making the UK a world leader in this technology. Wayve and Uber will collaborate with the UK Government and Transport for London on the permitting and regulatory approval process prior to launch. London and other UK cities represent complex driving environments, with significantly different road layouts and traffic laws compared to locations in the US, where a majority of global L4 testing has until now been conducted. The lessons learnt from the UK will therefore be a major step forward in the development of L4 technology for deployment in cities around the world. Alex Kendall, CEO and Co-founder of Wayve, commented: 'This is a defining moment for UK autonomy. With Uber and a global OEM partner, we're preparing to put our AI Driver technology into real service on the streets of London, delivering on our AV2.0 vision for scalable autonomy. Our Embodied AI learns to drive anywhere, in any vehicle, and this trial brings us closer to bringing safe and intelligent driving to everyday rides across the UK and beyond.' Andrew Macdonald, President and Chief Operating Officer of Uber, added: 'We're excited to take the next step in our journey with Wayve, bringing autonomous mobility to one of the world's busiest and most complex urban environments. Wayve's globally scalable AV2.0 approach makes them an ideal partner to bring Uber's autonomous vision to reality in new cities around the world. Our vision is to make autonomy a safe and reliable option for riders everywhere, and this trial in London brings that future closer to reality.' Heidi Alexander, Secretary of State for Transport, said: 'Today's agreement, between two leading names at the forefront of the sector, is a fantastic vote of confidence in this new technology. 'By fast tracking pilots of self-driving vehicles to spring 2026, we are excited to see safety-first tests that will drive growth, create 38,000 jobs and add £42bn to our economy.' AV2.0: The Foundation for Global Autonomy Wayve's AI-first approach, known as AV2.0, moves beyond the constraints of traditional AV systems that rely on HD maps, hand-coded rules, or geofenced domains. Instead, Wayve's end-to-end Embodied AI learns from experience like a human driver, enabling it to adapt to new roads, vehicles, and cities with unprecedented efficiency. This capability was recently demonstrated in Wayve's Global Roadshow, where a single AI Driver navigated 90 cities in 90 days across Europe, North America, and Japan—handling dense urban streets, rural tracks, and complex highway conditions with minimal prior exposure. Alex Kendall, CEO and Co-founder of Wayve, commented: 'We drove through Tokyo, Milan, and Montana—all with the same AI model. That's the power of AV2.0. It's what gives us the confidence to launch a driverless ride-hailing service with Uber, starting in London and expanding to other cities around the world.' Next Phase of the Partnership In 2024, Wayve and Uber announced a multi-year collaboration to integrate Wayve's Embodied AI into vehicles operating on the Uber platform. This next phase moves the partnership into live operational trials on UK roads, building toward scaled deployment in key European markets. Further details on the OEM partner and trial timeline will be shared in the coming months. Wayve and Uber are committed to delivering safe, convenient, and intelligent autonomous driving services, unlocking new mobility opportunities while reinforcing the UK's leadership in next-generation transportation. About Wayve Founded in 2017, Wayve is the leading developer of Embodied AI technology for automated driving.
