  • Wells Fargo Series DD Preferred Shares Yield Surpasses 6% Amid Price Drop
    February 3, 2026, 3:19 PM EST. Wells Fargo & Co's preferred stock Series DD (WFC.PRD) yielded over 6% on Monday as its price fell to $17.58, reflecting a 28.76% discount to liquidation preference. The 4.25% non-cumulative preferred shares annual dividend of $1.0625 contrasts with a 6.66% average yield in the financial sector's preferred stocks. Non-cumulative means missed dividends need not be repaid before common shares receive payouts. The shares slipped about 0.9% during the session, while Wells Fargo's common stock edged up 0.2%. This yield spike signals increased income opportunity but also elevated risk given substantial price discount and payment terms.
