Wells Fargo’s Asset Cap Could Be Lifted in 2025 as Regulatory Progress Continues

Add to Favorite
Added to Favorite


Investor sentiment is turning positive on Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) as the bank has successfully closed five regulatory actions in 2025, raising hopes that the Federal Reserve’s asset cap may be lifted this year.

Key Developments
1. Wells Fargo Has Closed Five Consent Orders in 2025
Since January, the bank has resolved:

Two consent orders from the Federal Reserve
Two from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC)
One from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)

This progress leaves only three remaining consent orders, marking a significant step in addressing regulatory concerns.
2. Asset Cap Removal in Sight?

The Federal Reserve imposed an asset cap on Wells Fargo in 2018 due to compliance failures linked to the 2016 fake-accounts scandal.
The cap prevents the bank from expanding its balance sheet until regulators approve governance fixes.
Closing multiple regulatory actions in early 2025 has accelerated expectations that the cap could be lifted, possibly in the first half of the year.

3. Investor Optimism

Portfolio manager Dave Ellison of Hennessy Funds, a Wells Fargo shareholder, noted:

“The closing of five consent orders in just a couple of months shows that the company is on the right track, and the timeline of ending other regulatory punishments, including the asset cap, has accelerated.”

Investors see Wells Fargo as a more attractive stock if the asset cap is removed, allowing the bank to expand its lending and business operations.

What This Means for Investors
1. Potential Upside for Wells Fargo Stock

The asset cap has limited Wells Fargo’s ability to compete with other big banks, restraining its revenue growth.
If lifted, the bank could reignite expansion efforts, increase lending, and boost earnings, making its stock more appealing.

2. Regulatory Risks Remain

Three consent orders are still unresolved, meaning final regulatory approval could take longer than expected.
The Federal Reserve’s board of governors must vote to remove the cap, a process that could face delays.

3. Sector Impact: Bank Stocks to Watch

A Wells Fargo recovery could positively impact the broader banking sector, as investors may anticipate regulatory relief for other financial institutions facing scrutiny.
