Wells Fargo (WFC) faces several issues including government probes about anti-money laundering and sanction-related issues which caused shares to tumble. Additionally, the institution faces a lawsuit over inflated drug costs in their employee health plan. Despite negative news, WFC is increasing its dividend to $0.40 and has seen a 1.7% increase in stock price after an analyst upgrade. However, lower loan growth and higher-than-expected costs have become bubbles in the water. Yet, the bank continues to strategize, appointing a new head of technology and managing cost control. In the past year, the stock delivered a return of more than 50%. Still, investors need to monitor WFC closely due to volatile performance, which varies with market gains and loses and potential high drug cost lawsuits. Notably, WFC has announced investments in Bitcoin ETFs, initiating some involvement with the crypto market. The bank also introduced a new credit card with a cashback feature and additionally, raised its quarterly dividend by 14.3%.
