Markets Rise on Iran Peace Hopes; Bank Earnings in Focus: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesApril 14, 2026 4:59 AM
IH Market News
U.S. equity futures edged higher on Tuesday, while oil prices declined, as investors reacted to signs of potential progress in efforts to end the Iran conflict. However, a continued U.S. blockade of Iranian ports into a second day has added tension, further disrupting shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, a wave of major U.S. bank earnings is set to dominate market attention, and luxury group LVMH (EU:MC) highlighted the conflict’s impact on sales.



Futures Tick Higher



U.S. stock futures moved modestly upward, supported by optimism around ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran aimed at securing a lasting ceasefire. Investors are also preparing for a busy earnings schedule from major financial institutions.As of 03:17 ET, Dow futures rose by 51 points, or 0.1%, S&P 500 futures gained 10 points, or 0.1%, and Nasdaq 100 futures climbed 72 points, or 0.3%.Wall Street’s main indices had already posted gains in the previous session, as initial disappointment over the lack of a breakthrough in weekend talks between the U.S. and Iran faded. U.S. President Donald Trump said the White House had been contacted by Iranian officials and expressed a desire to “make a deal,” adding that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.“[W]hile the meeting was certainly disappointing, it was hardly catastrophic, and if one looks closely, Trump seems to be pivoting aggressively away from kinetic escalation,” analysts at Vital Knowledge said.They added that their view of the situation is “relatively sanguine,” though the “economic fallout from what’s already occurred” could be “significant.”



U.S. Blockade Continues to Disrupt Shipping



At the same time, the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, which began Monday, has tightened constraints on oil flows already impacted by the conflict.Tehran has condemned the move as an “act of piracy,” with reports suggesting around 15 U.S. warships are involved. British maritime authorities said access has been restricted for vessels operating near Iranian ports and across key waterways in the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, and parts of the Arabian Sea.Despite these tensions, diplomatic efforts appear to be gaining traction. According to Reuters, talks between the U.S. and Iran have continued, with some progress toward a permanent ceasefire. Pakistan has offered to host further negotiations following the initial round held in Islamabad.Elsewhere, Israel and Lebanon are set to begin direct peace talks in Washington, with ongoing strikes involving Iran-aligned Hezbollah forces remaining a key obstacle.



Oil Prices Ease Below $100



The prospect of diplomatic progress helped push oil prices lower, with Brent crude falling 1.5% to $97.88 per barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate declining 3.4% to $95.78.However, the outlook remains uncertain. The OPEC reduced its forecast for global oil demand in the second quarter by 500,000 barrels per day in its first assessment of the Iran conflict’s impact.Even so, the group left its full-year outlook unchanged, indicating expectations that demand could recover later in 2026.



Bank Earnings Take Centre Stage



Attention is now shifting to corporate earnings, with several major U.S. banks set to report results.JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), and Citigroup (NYSE:C) are due to release quarterly figures before the U.S. market opens, followed by Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) on Wednesday.Analysts expect trading revenues and investment banking fees to support results, even as uncertainty tied to the Iran conflict persists. Earlier this month, Jamie Dimon warned that the conflict could trigger commodity price shocks, potentially sustaining inflation and pushing interest rates higher than currently anticipated.On Monday, Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) reported a 19% increase in first-quarter profit, driven by strong performance in trading and investment banking.



LVMH Highlights Impact of Iran Conflict



In Europe, shares of LVMH (EU:MC) fell in early trading after the company said the Middle East conflict had reduced group sales by at least 1%, dampening expectations for a continued recovery in the luxury sector.The group, which owns brands such as Louis Vuitton and Bulgari, reported a 1% increase in quarterly sales, missing estimates for 1.5% growth, according to Visible Alpha data cited by Reuters.Finance chief Cécile Cabanis said that “[w]hat we see today is still that demand is very much down” following disruptions to shopping activity in the Middle East after the outbreak of the Iran conflict.Rival Kering (EU:KER), owner of Gucci, is scheduled to report results after the close of European markets later in the day.JPMorgan Chase stock priceWells Fargo stock priceCitigroup stock priceBank of America stock priceMorgan Stanley stock priceGoldman Sachs Group stock price

Five key themes for markets in the week aheadApril 13, 2026 6:45 AM
IH Market News
Geopolitics is taking centre stage at the start of the trading week, with a planned U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz driving fresh volatility across markets. The move has pushed oil prices higher again, while upcoming inflation data and a busy earnings calendar could provide further direction for investors.



1. U.S. moves ahead with Hormuz blockade



The U.S. military has confirmed it will begin restricting maritime traffic linked to Iran through the Strait of Hormuz from 10 a.m. Eastern on Monday, following an order from President Donald Trump after weekend talks with Iran failed to yield progress.According to the Pentagon, vessels “entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas” will be targeted, while other ships transiting the strait will still be permitted to pass.The decision follows 21 hours of negotiations in Pakistan that ended without an agreement to extend a fragile two-week ceasefire. Vice President JD Vance, who led the U.S. delegation, said Iran rejected demands to halt its nuclear ambitions. Pakistan, acting as a mediator, urged both sides to “uphold their commitment to ceasefire.”Elsewhere, Israel and Lebanon are set to hold talks in Washington this week, although continued strikes on Hezbollah-linked targets have raised doubts about the durability of any broader regional truce.



2. Oil climbs back above $100



Crude prices surged again on Monday, breaking back above the $100 per barrel level.Brent crude rose 6.7% to $101.65, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate gained 7.1% to $103.42.Despite the rally, analysts at Pepperstone said the market response had been “relatively contained,” with investors interpreting the blockade largely as a negotiating tactic.“I’d not be at all surprised to see risk assets remain underpinned to a degree, with continued hope that a deal can be agreed likely to continue to encourage dip buying, even as crude benchmarks are likely to grind steadily higher as physical supply tightens further,” said Michael Brown, Senior Research Strategist at Pepperstone.Oil had dipped below $100 last week following the ceasefire announcement, which itself came after Trump warned Iran’s “civilization” could be destroyed if the Strait of Hormuz was not reopened. Even so, prices have remained well above pre-conflict levels.



3. U.S. producer price data in focus



Rising energy costs have heightened concerns about inflation globally and how central banks may respond.This week, attention will turn to U.S. producer price index (PPI) data for final demand, which will provide a clearer picture of price pressures in March—the first full month reflecting the impact of the Iran conflict.Recent consumer price data already showed a sharp increase, driven largely by higher fuel costs. Energy prices jumped 12.5% year-on-year, compared with just 0.5% in February.However, core inflation—which excludes food and energy—came in softer than expected, at 2.6% annually and 0.2% month-on-month.Given this, analysts believe the Federal Reserve may not place excessive weight on the headline figures alone. The upcoming PPI release could offer further clues on how policymakers approach interest rates in the months ahead.“A stronger-than-expected [PPI] reading would reinforce the case for a ‘higher for longer’ rate outlook, likely supporting the dollar and leaving EUR/USD’s recent rebound vulnerable to renewed downside,” said Laurence Booth, Global Head of Markets at CMC Markets.



4. Bank earnings take centre stage



The U.S. earnings season gathers pace this week, led by results from major Wall Street lenders.Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) is set to report first, with its shares up around 3% so far this year. Trading revenues have been supported by portfolio repositioning linked to developments in artificial intelligence, while its investment banking division has also delivered growth.However, the Iran conflict may weigh on outlooks. While volatility can boost trading income, elevated commodity prices could discourage dealmaking activity such as mergers and acquisitions, potentially affecting advisory revenues.Other banks reporting include JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), Citigroup (NYSE:C), Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS).Beyond banking, earnings are also expected from Netflix and PepsiCo.



5. European luxury sector results ahead



In Europe, attention will turn to the luxury sector, where several major groups are due to report.LVMH (EU:MC), owner of brands such as Louis Vuitton and Dior, is scheduled to release first-quarter sales, with geopolitical tensions likely to influence its outlook. Peers Kering SA (EU:KER) and Hermès (EU:RMS) are also set to report.According to Reuters, luxury sales in markets such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi have declined due to the conflict, weighing on the $400 billion sector.Elsewhere, ASML (NASDAQ:ASML) will report on Wednesday, with investors watching closely for updates on its ability to meet strong demand from artificial intelligence chipmakers.Goldman Sachs Group stock priceJPMorgan Chase stock priceWells Fargo stock priceCitigroup stock priceBank of America stock priceMorgan Stanley stock price

Markets edge lower as Hormuz blockade fears grow; Goldman Sachs earnings in focus: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesApril 13, 2026 5:50 AM
IH Market News
Futures tied to major U.S. equity indices pointed slightly lower at the start of the week, as concerns over a potential U.S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and stalled negotiations between Washington and Tehran weighed on investor sentiment. Oil prices moved back above $100 per barrel, with markets increasingly uneasy about the durability of a fragile U.S.-Iran ceasefire. Meanwhile, earnings from Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) are set to kick off the U.S. reporting season, while LVMH (EU:MC) is also due to release results.



Futures drift lower



U.S. stock futures declined on Monday as investors reacted to renewed geopolitical risks following President Donald Trump’s warning that a blockade could be imposed on the Strait of Hormuz after weekend talks with Iran failed to produce a breakthrough.As of 03:28 ET, Dow futures were down 239 points, or 0.5%, S&P 500 futures fell 40 points, or 0.6%, and Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 168 points, or 0.7%. Markets in Europe and Asia also showed signs of weakness, while oil prices surged and the U.S. dollar strengthened.Wall Street had closed mixed on Friday, with investors taking a cautious stance ahead of high-stakes negotiations in Pakistan. Although a temporary two-week ceasefire was announced last week, uncertainty remains over whether it will lead to a lasting resolution.Investors also digested data showing a sharp increase in consumer prices in March, largely driven by rising fuel costs linked to the energy shock triggered by the conflict. Oil prices have climbed significantly since late February, when tensions with Iran escalated and tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz—through which roughly 20% of global oil flows—was effectively disrupted.



Trump signals Hormuz blockade



On Sunday, Trump said the U.S. Navy would launch an “immediate” blockade of the Strait to restrict shipping activity.He warned that any vessel paying fees imposed by Tehran would not be guaranteed “safe passage on the high seas.”Later, the Pentagon clarified that the restrictions would target ships “entering or departing Iranian ports or coastal areas,” while allowing other vessels to continue transiting the Strait.The escalation follows 21 hours of negotiations between U.S. and Iranian officials in Pakistan, which ended without an agreement to extend the ceasefire. Vice President JD Vance, who led the U.S. delegation, said Iran had rejected demands to halt its nuclear ambitions. Tehran has not immediately commented, though Pakistan—acting as mediator—urged both sides to “uphold their commitment to ceasefire.”



Oil climbs back above $100



Crude prices surged again on Monday, reclaiming the $100 per barrel level.Brent crude rose 6.7% to $101.65, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate gained 7.1% to $103.42.Despite the sharp move, analysts at Pepperstone said the market reaction had been “relatively contained,” suggesting that traders may see the blockade as a negotiating tactic.“While it’s clearly a risk-averse start to the trading week, […] the general market reaction can be summed up as ‘could be worse’,” said Michael Brown, Senior Research Strategist at Pepperstone.Oil had briefly dipped below $100 last week after the ceasefire announcement, which followed Trump’s warning that Iran’s “civilization” could be destroyed if the Strait was not reopened. Even so, prices remained elevated compared with pre-conflict levels.



Goldman Sachs results ahead



Attention now turns to earnings from major U.S. banks, beginning with Goldman Sachs’ quarterly results before the market open.Shares of Goldman have risen about 3% so far this year, supported by strong trading activity as investors reposition portfolios amid disruption from emerging artificial intelligence technologies. Investment banking revenues have also shown resilience.However, developments in Iran may overshadow the results. While volatility can boost trading income, sustained high commodity prices could deter companies from pursuing costly deals such as mergers and acquisitions, potentially weighing on advisory revenues.Other major banks set to report this week include JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), Citigroup (NYSE:C), Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS).



LVMH set to report



LVMH (EU:MC), the world’s largest luxury goods company and owner of brands such as Louis Vuitton and Dior, is due to publish its first-quarter sales later today, with the Middle East conflict expected to feature prominently in its outlook.According to Reuters, luxury sales in key regional hubs like Dubai and Abu Dhabi have declined due to the ongoing conflict, impacting companies including LVMH as well as peers like Kering SA (EU:KER) and Hermès (EU:RMS).At Dubai’s Mall of the Emirates, luxury sales reportedly dropped by as much as 50% in March, while foot traffic at Dubai Mall saw a similar decline. In Abu Dhabi’s Galleria mall, overall sales were down by around 10%.Although the Middle East represents a relatively small portion of LVMH’s total revenue, analysts cited by Reuters suggest that the impact on profitability—reported on a half-year basis—could be more significant.Goldman Sachs Group stock priceJPMorgan Chase stock priceWells Fargo stock priceCitigroup stock priceBank of America stock priceMorgan Stanley stock price

“Community development means that each person is doing what they can to lift their neighbors up,” said Governor Josh Stein. “Wells Fargo’s $6 million investment will support meaningful work on affordable housing, workforce development, and financial literacy."


“West Charlotte is a community defined by resilience, leadership, and possibility,” said U.S. Rep. Alma Adams. “With Wells Fargo’s investment, local leaders can advance their vision and position the community for long-term success.”

I appreciate Wells Fargo’s continued commitment to Charlotte and look forward to the lasting impact these investments will have on the region.”


“Wells Fargo's investments in the Charlotte community will help families find affordable housing, provide opportunities for individuals to learn new skills, offer more resources to local businesses, and bring a new grocery store to West Charlotte,” said U.S. Sen. Ted Budd. “I am grateful that Charlotte is home to strong partners like Wells Fargo who are working to better the community they call home.”

Shares of major U.S. banks moved higher Thursday after President Donald Trump announced a five-day suspension of military strikes targeting Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure.Citigroup (NYSE:C) led the gains, rising 3%. Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) each added 1.5%, while Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) advanced 2% and Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) climbed 2.25%.Trump said the U.S. military would delay additional strikes after what he described as “productive” discussions between Washington and Tehran. The announcement helped calm fears of a broader escalation in the Middle East that could disrupt global energy markets and weigh on economic stability.Bank stocks tend to be sensitive to geopolitical developments, particularly in regions that play a key role in global oil production. Rising tensions in the Middle East often trigger volatility in oil prices, which can influence economic growth and financial markets where banks maintain significant exposure.The decision to pause military action reduced near-term uncertainty for the financial sector, helping lift bank shares. Citigroup — which has a large international presence — showed the strongest gain among the major lenders.Citigroup stock priceBank of America stock priceJPMorgan Chase stock priceWells Fargo stock priceGoldman Sachs Group stock price

Enterprise Community Partners to oversee Housing Affordability Breakthrough Challenge, awarding $10 million in grants across five organizations


Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) today launched a nationwide challenge to uncover scalable, innovative housing solutions designed to help more people find homes across the country. Managed by Enterprise Community Partners, a leading national housing nonprofit, the 2026 Housing Affordability Breakthrough Challenge will award $10 million in grants across five organizations, along with technical assistance, one-on-one industry mentorship, and participation in national peer learning. Since 2019, Wells Fargo has contributed more than $53 million in philanthropic funding to support the Housing Affordability Breakthrough Challenge. Applications open April 1, 2026, through May 15, 2026.

“For most families, housing is the single biggest expense, and rising costs are making it tough to find or keep a home,” said Darlene Goins, head of Philanthropy and Community Impact at Wells Fargo. “The Housing Affordability Breakthrough Challenge is about surfacing creative, practical ideas from nonprofits and companies that we can scale to more people and more communities. If we’re going to expand housing access and affordability, we have to be willing to reimagine what can work.”


Since 2019, Wells Fargo & Company and the Wells Fargo Foundation have made more than $830 million in philanthropic investments nationwide to help keep people housed, expand housing inventory, and increase access to affordable homes.


The Housing Affordability Breakthrough Challenge aims to transform housing through innovations in design and construction, financing, and resident services. Past winners have piloted scalable modular housing systems, new underwriting models, and groundbreaking programs supporting reentry housing, tribal homeownership, and rural community development, among other efforts.


“We’re incredibly grateful for Wells Fargo’s enduring leadership in advancing housing solutions. We’ve seen firsthand how the Housing Affordability Breakthrough Challenge can accelerate promising models that increase affordability, access, and economic opportunity,” said Shaun Donovan, Chief Executive Officer of Enterprise Community Partners. “This year’s competition will support innovations across rural, urban, and tribal communities that are demonstrating tangible results and are ready to scale their impact.”


Criteria for the 2026 Housing Affordability Breakthrough Challenge


This year’s Housing Affordability Breakthrough Challenge will consider applicants proposing solutions across three categories: Design & Construction, Finance, and Service & Delivery Programs. While there is no predetermined number of winners per focus area, applicants must demonstrate existing results, an evidence base for their proposals, and a strategy to scale their innovations. Five winning organizations each will be awarded $2 million in grants. Eligibility is subject to the full criteria, which nonprofit and for-profit organizations are encouraged to review.

Wells Fargo's star-powered campaign highlights its commitment to empowering customers and celebrating financial progress


Wells Fargo is returning to the Big Game with the launch of “Celebrating Every Win,” a new advertising campaign that showcases how the Wells Fargo Mobile Banking app helps customers achieve personal financial victories. The campaign features comedian and actor Marcello Hernández.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260206277235/en/Wells Fargo Launches Ad with Comedian and Actor Marcello Hernández Ahead of Big Game (Photo: Wells Fargo)
Created in partnership with BBDO New York and directed by Jess Coulter of O Positive, the campaign pays tribute to everyday financial wins – like growing savings or sticking to a budget. Marcello brings humor and authenticity to these wins, appearing at each financial milestone with a full celebration – complete with confetti, music, and dancing. His comedic presence reinforces the message that success looks different for everyone and isn’t only about big milestones but the small steps that support long-term financial well-being.


At its core, “Celebrating Every Win” underscores Wells Fargo’s commitment to putting customers first, by offering the tools, guidance, and support that make everyday progress possible.


“We're excited to team up with Marcello Hernández ahead of the Big Game and create a campaign that uses humor and a fresh perspective to celebrate the everyday wins that shape our customers' financial journeys,” says Holly Hynes, Chief Marketing Officer, Consumer Banking and Lending, Wells Fargo. “With this campaign we honor the fact that all financial milestones matter to our customers and show how Wells Fargo empowers them to achieve those wins.”


A teaser debuted on February 2, followed by the full 30-second spot airing during the Big Game in regional markets and on select Telemundo stations. National rollout begins February 8 through a home screen takeover on Samsung TVs and the Roku platform, and appears that day on Netflix’s Top 10 most popular series and films on the ad-supported plan and on Peacock. A longform 60-second cut and 15-second and 6-second versions will run on Wells Fargo’s YouTube and social channels.

PR Newswire (US)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT), PG&E Corporation (NYSE:PCG), Salesforce (NYSE:CRM) and Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) announced the launch of EMBERPOINTTMLLC, a purpose-built venture that will integrate next-generation wildfire solutions to help first responders detect, prevent and fight catastrophic wildfires. This partnership will set a new standard in wildfire safety, enabling more progress than a single company can achieve alone.







EMBERPOINTTM will use artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, and integrated command-and-control technologies to help first responders detect fires earlier, prevent their spread and enhance coordination for mitigation efforts. Agencies and utilities will gain access to proven, state-of-the-art systems without the burden of development costs, enabling communities to benefit from advanced, affordable wildfire prevention.Lockheed Martin will contribute its cutting-edge layered approach to prediction and detection, as well as military-grade autonomous response and suppression capabilities, enabling firefighters to rapidly identify and directly intervene at the earliest stages of wildfire ignition.Pacific Gas and Electric Company1, a subsidiary of PG&E Corporation, will bring deep wildfire mitigation experience, with proven layers of protection and a track record of deploying effective risk management programs across geographically-diverse communities. Contributions or information from Pacific Gas and Electric Company are subject to regulatory approval.Salesforce will contribute to the digital foundation for EMBERPOINTTM, integrating disparate data streams into a unified, real-time response engine. Leveraging the power of Agentforce and Slack, Salesforce will enable seamless cross-organization coordination to accelerate wildfire response.Wells Fargo is helping to fund the venture through a capital investment.WHY IT MATTERSThe risk of wildfires is an escalating national crisis, with wildfires devastating communities, economies, and ecosystems across America and the world. Fires are growing larger, more intense and more frequent, causing billions of dollars in damage each year and placing increasing strain on utility customers and taxpayers.As heroic firefighters put their lives on the line, further integrated technologies and data can help them respond faster and stay safer. This effort seeks to build upon the remarkable contributions of the firefighting community by equipping firefighters and emergency responders with advanced tools and coordinated solutions to more effectively combat wildfire threats.LEADERSHIP INSIGHT"It's time to change the way we think about wildfires and bring the best of American technology and know-how to this growing threat to lives and property. Devastating wildfires are on the rise and this new partnership brings four leading companies in the aerospace, electrical power, tech, and financial industries together to address this national problem," said Lockheed Martin Chairman, President and CEO Jim Taiclet. "Building on Lockheed?Martin's leading-edge capabilities in space and ground-based sensing systems, autonomous air and land drones,?and command and control systems, EMBERPOINT™ aims to combine these skills along with those of our partners to address what is a true national security mission.""This partnership underscores our commitment to ending catastrophic wildfires," said PG&E Corporation CEO, Patti Poppe. "We plan to seek regulatory approval to pair Pacific Gas and Electric Company's on-the-ground experience with our partners' advanced technology, and properly scale how we identify risk, prevent incidents, and protect the people and ecosystems we serve for the benefit of all society—while staying fully focused on providing safe and reliable energy to our customers. Today's announcement marks the next step in a broader, multi-phase effort to end catastrophic wildfires.""Agentforce and Slack are powerful tools that can be used to solve the most pressing challenges," said John Somorjai, Chief Corporate Development and Investments Officer, Salesforce.

Cramer's Mad Dash Wells Fargo:

That is total BS. The actual debt figure for WFC is $210 Billon, which is not significant in the overall financial picture for WFC.

Wells Fargo & Company $WFC Total Debt (mrq) $419.95B

LMAO! That is not true. Try $210 Billion and that is not very significant in the scheme of WFC's overall assets and balance sheet. WFC jusr released very strong quarterly financials and is trading just below its ATH. SMFH

Wells Fargo $WFC
Total Debt (mrq) $419.95B

Very strong Q reported out by WFC and new 52-week high at $87.47 yesterday.

~sold 10/24 $90 calls @.39c 

~bought some 10/24 $90 calls @.11c

You aren't very bright Stop Lying to yourself. Pathetic nonsense. LoL SMH

ROTFLMFAO!! You aren't very bright. Those are all shares going each way in individual or institutional investor accounts held in street name by BLK and WFC, just as our holdings in our Chas. Schwab account are listed as being held in street name by Chas. Schwab. SMFH

Blackrock does not own BAC. Stop Lying!

BlackRock, Inc. ownership in BAC / Bank of America Corporation
BlackRock, Inc. has filed an SC 13G/A form with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosing ownership of 494,523,426 shares of Bank of America Corporation (US:BAC). This represents 6.2 percent ownership of the company.
https://fintel.io/so/us/bac/blackrock

Wells Fargo owns Blackrock.


Blackrock as an Asset Manager owns many corporations and incorporations and Banks STOCK. SMH


Are you from Antarctica? At the Edge of the Globe where WFC just installed two new ATM's?

Do you need anymore facts? You're not losing because of anything I post. The entire system is going down and new economies are being built, without the old Rothschild hustlers. Please stop attacking me. You look so stupid posting that debunked

LMFAO! Blackrock does not own BAC. BAC's largest shareholder is Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway (BRK). Some investors who have funds placed with BLK or 401K's held with BLK likely have BAC in their accounts. And everyone knows Blackrock has never filed for BK. You look so stupid posting that debunked and withdrawn Australian YouTube video all over the place. SMFH

Just heard WFC is working with the Govt. on something big since BLK filed for BK and is taking some banks with them like BAC which Blackrock owns.

A whole new Gold backed financial system is coming together.

WFC, 10 Q due WEDNESDAY 1/15

New all-time highs here for WFC and over the entire banking sector.

Most analysts had buy recommendations out for Cisco when it was $90 per share in winter of 2000.
The stock went down more than 90% right after that and still has not recoved to the stock price it was at in 2000. Go figure.

LOL! Most expert analysts with recommendations have set price targets in the mid-$70's, substantially above where WFC is trading now.

WFC is doing nothing good. They have no growth. Revenue and earnings have not grown. In fact, they have shrunken when inflation is taken into account. The P/E should be back to 8 like it was last year. We could easily see a 40% drop in WFC price. This one is worth less than $38 per share. Beware!

LMAO! WFC's P/E (13) and Price to Book Value are in the lower range for all large banks. Even here trading just below its all-time high, WFC is only selling for 1.3 times Book Value and 1.42 times tangible book value.

PE ratio of WFC is looking worse each month. Earnings have fallen and stock is about to have a 70% drop. Beware, very dangerous.

WFC new 52 week high

Deep recession is all but confirmed. While the government is injecting $2.5 trillion per year, most companies are posting lower net income than prior year. They cannot stimulate more. Debt is rising faster than ever.
Wells Fargo posted significant revenue drop. Wells Fargo also posted decreased net income. Net income came in at 12% lower than prior year. After inflation is included, the numbers are even worse. Net income adjusted for inflation was down 16% from prior year. This is a terrible indication while CAPE S&P 500 PE ratio says stocks are priced for perfection. It is at 37, when reasonable valuation would be 15. We are likely to see more than a 60% decline in market indexes, and stocks will still be overvalued. We will likely see the S&P 500 down below 2,400 within 12 months.
