Why Wells Fargo stock is down today: WFC slips after $100 million mortgage-aid settlement notice
Wells Fargo shares fell 1.7% to $86.50 by midday Friday, tracking a broader decline in U.S. bank stocks. A court notice disclosed a proposed $100 million mortgage-assistance program and a $10 million insurer payment as part of a shareholder settlement, with a final hearing set for May 2026. Investors remain cautious ahead of a possible U.S. credit-card rate cap and next week’s Federal Reserve decision.
