Top 5 Bank Stocks To Own For 2019: Wells Fargo & Company(WFC)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By Matthew Frankel]
When it comes to U.S. banks, there are four that are in a league of their own when it comes to size: JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM), Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), Citigroup (NYSE:C), and Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC).
- [By Matthew Frankel]
To illustrate some of these points, as well as some other reasons Buffett and the rest of Berkshire's team may be inclined to sell stocks, here are a few examples from the company's history:
IBM (NYSE:IBM): Berkshire had been gradually unloading its IBM stake for some time, and Buffett confirmed that the last of the shares were sold during the first quarter of 2018. In a nutshell, Buffett says he misjudged IBM's competitive challenges, and as a result, it has revalued the stock lower. This is a prime example of the concept of "when your original thesis no longer applies, get out." Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC): Berkshire has sold some of its Wells Fargo stock in recent quarters, and you might assume it has something to do with the bank's infamous "fake accounts" scandal. But you'd be wrong. Buffett has said several times that he intends to stick with Wells Fargo, but regulatory rules prevent him from owning more than 10% of the bank's shares. The recent sales were solely to remain under that threshold. Freddie Mac (NASDAQOTH:FMCC): Many newer Berkshire investors are surprised to hear that Buffett was ever a fan of mortgage giant Freddie Mac, but Berkshire owned 9% of the company's shares in the late 1990s. Berkshire made lots of money on the investment, but Buffett started to see troubling signs -- specifically, the company was taking on far too much risk to keep its earnings growing at a double-digit rate. Buffett ended up selling all of Berkshire's Freddie Mac shares by 2000, and we all know what happened during the mortgage meltdown -- there's a reason Freddie Mac is a penny stock today. ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM): Until late 2014, Berkshire was one of ExxonMobil's largest shareholders. However, Buffett realized that oil prices weren't likely to stay as high as he originally thought, so Berkshire's entire stake was abruptly sold. Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS): Warren Buffett's preferred uses for Berkshire Hathaway's capital are to acquire entire businesses and buy common - [By Chris Lange]

Three of the big four U.S. banks reported earnings on Friday morning -- Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC). JPMorgan Chase posted an excellent second quarter, including the excellent trading revenue performance. Wells Fargo, on the other hand, was largely a disappointment as the bank's scandal-plagued past few years are clearly still weighing on its results.

Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC) has tried to recover from the revelation last year that bank employees created additional customer accounts without the knowledge of those customers. More recently it announced a plan to reduce its headcount by some 26,000 over the next three years and suspended two executives related to an investigation into the bank’s purchase of low-income housing tax credits.
