On the filings behind it, Wells Fargo & Company earns 3.8 out of 10 for business quality as of October 16, 2026. That is low quality on our scale. A low reading means the reported numbers show weakness on several pillars at once, which is a reason to understand the business before anything else. The figure is a weighted average of five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks from reported statements.
Among the 261 Financials companies with a published score, that ranks at the 14th percentile, in the bottom quarter of the group. A typical company in the group scores 5.9, and the best quarter starts from 6.8. Wells Fargo & Company is well below that typical reading.
Wells Fargo & Company’s profitability score is 7.3 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 6.8 among 255 Financials companies, that is above the group and the 60th percentile. High profitability means each unit of capital and of sales is turning into more profit than at most of its peers, which is usually the first sign of pricing power or a cost advantage.
There is no solvency score for Wells Fargo & Company: too little of the pillar could be measured from the filings to give an honest reading. The overall is therefore the weighted average of the other pillars. Across 140 Financials companies the median for this pillar is 8.5. Without it the overall says nothing about how comfortably the company carries its debt.
On growth, Wells Fargo & Company scores 2.4, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 4.6 across 241 Financials companies, which places it well below them, at the 20th percentile. When growth is this low the question is whether it is a pause or a trend, and the history behind the filings is the place to look.
There is no efficiency score for Wells Fargo & Company: too little of the pillar could be measured from the filings to give an honest reading. The overall is therefore the weighted average of the other pillars. Across 211 Financials companies the median for this pillar is 5.8. Without it the overall cannot say how well reported profit turns into cash.
On predictability, Wells Fargo & Company scores 0.7, a weak reading. Its peers have a median of 4.9 across 256 Financials companies, which places it well below them, at the 2nd percentile. When results are this uneven, the averages behind the other pillars hide a lot of movement, and a longer history tells more than the latest year.
This is a lopsided profile. Profitability scores 7.3 but predictability only 0.7, a gap of 6.6 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. Leading with profitability is the most valuable kind of strength, because margins and returns are what the other pillars ultimately feed. A predictability shortfall means the record is volatile, so the averages behind the other pillars move more than they appear to.
The pillar with the most room to move the score is predictability. If it rose to the median of Financials companies, 4.9, Wells Fargo & Company’s overall score would go from 3.8 to about 5.1. Only three of the five pillars could be scored. Together they carry 65 of the 100 weight points (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and the overall is the weighted average of those alone.

Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.
