Wells Fargo earned $1.87 a share in Q3, up 13% on a year ago and ahead of the $1.84 analysts expected. Net income was $5.95B, up 6%. Revenue of $21.9B grew 2% but missed the $22.31B consensus. Return on tangible equity hit 16.3%, and it bought back $2.5B of stock.

> **Why it matters** A profit beat paired with a revenue miss shows the bank is making more from each dollar through cost control and buybacks, while sales growth is slower than hoped.

> **What we verified** Net income ($5,951M), EPS ($1.87), revenue ($21.87B), ROTCE (16.3%) and $2.5B of buybacks come from the company's SEC 8-K filed October 13, 2026. Investing.com reports the $1.84 EPS and $22.31B revenue consensus figures.
