Club holding Wells Fargo will post quarterly results on Friday, followed by our other financial holding, Morgan Stanley, on Tuesday. In theory, higher borrowing costs mean Wells Fargo can generate more money from those interest-earning assets, but it's not that simple. It's hard to say with the fluid inflation and rate expectations whether Wells Fargo might change its NII outlook when it reports on Friday. Wells Fargo also has a key long-term growth prospect in the potential removal of its $1.9 trillion Fed-imposed asset cap. A woman walks past Wells Fargo bank in New York City, U.S., March 17, 2020.

Michael Nagle | Bloomberg | Getty ImagesThe largest American banks have been quietly laying off workers all year — and some of the deepest cuts are yet to come. The moves come after a two-year hiring boom during the pandemic, fueled by a surge in Wall Street activity. "Banks are cutting costs where they can because things are really uncertain next year," Chris Marinac, research director at Janney Montgomery Scott, said in a phone interview. In the coming weeks, the bank will terminate around 1% or 2% of its employees, according to a person with knowledge of the plans. The bank has cut about 2% of its workforce this year amid a protracted slowdown in investment banking activity.

Wells Fargo is set to report third-quarter results before the opening bell on Friday, while Morgan Stanley is slated to post results next Wednesday.

That means most current executives, who came up in the era of easy money, are unfamiliar with the complexities of running a bank under today’s conditions. Some CEOs are deciding that they need to make drastic, expensive and often unpopular institutional changes to help them keep up. Banks currently have strong managers, but not a lot of strong leaders, said David Schiff, senior partner at West Monroe. Prior to the current interest rate hikes, banks had been operating with low-interest, stable rates for nearly two decades, he said.

Wells Fargo Bank branch is seen in New York City, U.S., March 17, 2020. Wells Fargo had 233,834 employees at the end of the June quarter compared to 243,674 in the second quarter last year. Even though there is systematic stress in office real estate, the other portfolios are performing well, Santomassimo said. In the June quarter, Wells Fargo increased its allowances for credit losses by $949 million to account for potential losses in office loans. Wells Fargo is still operating under an asset cap that prevents it from growing until regulators deem that it has fixed problems from a fake accounts scandal.

REUTERS/Caitlin OchsJune 13 (Reuters) - Shares of U.S. banks rose on Tuesday after inflation data backed the view that the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates unchanged on Wednesday while leaving the door open for more hikes later that will further boost interest income. The data lifted the S&P 500 Banks Index (.SPXBK) 1.5%, while the KBW Regional Banking Index (.KRX) gained about 1.6%. Higher net interest income has helped cushion a slump in the banking sector's market-sensitive business units such as investment banking and trading. On Tuesday, Wells Fargo CFO Mike Santomassimo said the lender expected an upside to interest income this year going ahead. Missing the rally were shares of Zions Bancorporation (ZION.O) after executives said at a conference that interest income at the regional lender was trending toward.

Wells Fargo CFO expects upside in net interest income

NEW YORK, June 13 (Reuters) - Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.N) expects an upside in net interest income going ahead, Chief Financial Officer Mike Santomassimo said on Tuesday. The bank had earlier issued guidance for a 10% higher net interest income this year, more than the full-year 2022 level of $45 billion. The lender expects losses in office loans, which have seen some pressure as property values have declined and more borrowers are defaulting on their loans. In the January-March quarter, the bank had reported a $643 million increase in the allowance for credit losses, including for loans on commercial real estate, credit cards and cars. Regulators have also ordered it to improve governance and oversight, which has curtailed balance sheet growth and increased regulatory expenses.

REUTERS/Andrew KellyNEW YORK, April 18 (Reuters) - Consumers are starting to fall behind on their credit card and loan payments as the economy softens, according to executives at the biggest U.S. banks, although they said delinquency levels were still modest. Citigroup also made larger provisions for credit losses even as it brought in more revenue from clients' interest payments on credit cards. "We have tightened credit standards specifically as a result of the current market environment in cards, we continue to calibrate our credit underwriting based on what we're seeing based on macroeconomic trends," Mason said. "The consumer's in great shape in terms of credit quality by any historical standards. Some of JPMorgan's customers were starting to fall behind on payments, but delinquency levels were still modest, said Jeremy Barnum, finance chief at the largest U.S. lender.

Meanwhile, Wells Fargo set aside $1.21 billion in the quarter to cover for potential loan losses, compared to a release of $787 million a year earlier. "While most consumers remain resilient, we've seen some consumer financial health trends gradually weakening from a year ago," Mike Santomassimo, Wells Fargo finance chief, told analysts. More banking results are due over the coming week, including Bank of America (BAC.N) and Goldman Sachs (GS.N) on Tuesday and Morgan Stanley (MS.N) on Wednesday.

"Weakness continues to develop in commercial real estate office," Wells Fargo Chief Executive Charlie Scharf said on a call with analysts. Stress in the commercial real estate sector could have broad implications for banks and the economy, as losses emanating there can tighten credit availability and exacerbate a downturn.
