Wells Fargo still attractive given the banking sector situation?
Wells Fargo & Company (symbol ‘WFC’) share price has been making losses since early March after the fear of a new banking crisis spread throughout the markets after the failures of SVB, Silvergate and Signature. The company’s earnings report for the fiscal quarter is set to be released on Thursday 13th of April. The consensus EPS for the quarter is $1,18 compared to the result for the same quarter last year of $0,88.
‘ The company’s dividend yield is more than 3% making it a solid dividend pick among the industry while its price-to-book ratio of 0.8x suggests it’s trading at a discount therefore making it a clever pick for investors and traders for the longer term.’ said Antreas Themistokleous at Exness.
From the technical analysis perspective the price is trying on the move for a correction to the upside after finding support on the 61.8% of the monthly Fibonacci retracement level. The Stochastic oscillator is near the oversold levels therefore further supporting the sentiment of the bullish momentum building up. The 50 and 100 day moving averages are still in touch without any clear crossing at the time of this report.
In the event that the bullish movement continues in the near short term then the first point of resistance could possibly be seen around the $41 price area which is just above the 50% of the Fibonacci and also the 20 day moving average. On the other hand if the price continues to the downside then we might find the support area around $35 which is the psychological support of the round number and is also just below the 61.8% of the monthly Fibonacci retracement.
