Best Bank Stocks To Watch For 2019: Wells Fargo & Company(WFC)

Advisors' Opinion:
  • [By Matthew Frankel, CFP]

What's more, there are several that pay excellent, reliable dividends.

The scandal was the result of heavy corporate pressure on branch managers to increase sales. As a result, said Buffett, “Wells Fargo is a company that proved the efficacy of incentives and it’s just that they had the wrong incentives.”

In addition, the bank's loan and deposit portfolios shrunk over the past year, and its profitability and efficiency both leave something to be desired.
