Wells Fargo Q3 2026: NII pressure persists; provision costs rise; deposit mix shifts

Wells Fargo reported Q3 2026 net income of $5.95 billion, up 6.5% from Q3 2025's $5.59 billion, but the third-quarter momentum masks deteriorating underlying drivers. Net interest income of $12.52 billion grew only 4.7% quarter-over-quarter versus Q3 2025's $11.95 billion, while provision for credit losses surged 51% to $1.03 billion from $681 million — signaling accelerating credit normalization. The nine-month NII of $36.93 billion is up just 5.1% year-over-year, constrained by deposit repricing lag and a persistently compressed net interest margin. Noninterest income contracted 1.4% to $9.35 billion in Q3, driven by a 30% decline in mortgage banking revenue and a 43% drop in net gains from trading and securities. Capital deployment via common stock repurchases totaled $9.59 billion nine-month year-to-date, while preferred stock issuance of $4.0 billion nine-month year-to-date signals reliance on Tier 1 capital raises to support balance sheet expansion.
