On Wednesday, Wells Fargo &amp; Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) reported a net income of $5.08 billion, up 47% year over year in the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/b42998036/wells-fargo-reports-fourth-quarter-2024-financial-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">fourth quarter of 2024</a>. The bank reported GAAP EPS of $1.43, beating the consensus of $1.34.&nbsp;
Revenue remained almost flat at $20.38 billion. Analysts&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">expected $20.59 billion</a>. The U.S. banking giant&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.wellsfargo.com/assets/pdf/about/investor-relations/earnings/fourth-quarter-2024-earnings.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> a 7% year-over-year drop in net interest income to $11.84 billion driven by deposit mix and pricing changes, the impact of lower rates on floating rate assets, and lower loan balances, partially offset by lower market funding.

Noninterest income increased 11% to $8.54 billion, driven by improved results from venture capital investments, an increase in asset-based fees in Wealth and Investment Management on higher market valuations, and higher investment banking fees, as well as increases in most other fee categories, partially offset by net losses on debt securities related to a repositioning of the investment portfolio and lower net gains from trading in Markets business.
Investment advisory fees and brokerage commissions were up $413 million, or 15% year-over-year, driven by higher asset-based fees reflecting higher market valuations. Net interest margin fell from 2.92% a year ago to 2.70% in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Average loans were down $31.6 billion, or 3%, year-over-year due to declines in commercial real estate, and residential mortgage loans were partially offset by higher commercial and industrial loans and credit card loans.
Average deposits were up $12.9 billion, or 1%, year over year, as growth in customer deposits was partially offset by a reduction in higher-cost CDs issued by Corporate Treasury.
The book value per share grew 6% YoY to $48.85 compared to $46.25 last year. The Return on average equity ratio in Q4 improved to 11.70 compared to 7.6 last year.
Guidance: For fiscal year 2025, Wells Fargo&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.wellsfargo.com/assets/pdf/about/investor-relations/earnings/fourth-quarter-2024-financial-results.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">expects</a> net interest income to be ~1 to 3% higher than 2024 net interest income of $47.7 billion, down <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41289207/wells-fargo-q3-earnings-lower-profit-on-squeezed-interest-income-but-investment-banking-fees-provid" rel="noreferrer noopener">9% year over year</a>.
Average loans (4Q25 vs. 4Q24) are expected to grow modestly due to anticipated growth in Corporate and Investment Banking Markets and Banking and auto and credit card sales.
Average deposits in all operating segments are expected to grow modestly, which should reduce the need for higher-cost market funding.
Price Action:&nbsp;At the last check on Wednesday, WFC stock was up 4.66% to $74.51 during the premarket session.

JP Morgan Maintains Overweight on 3M, Lowers Price Target to $162

As metals markets weather volatility, optimism for a &#8220;V-shaped recovery&#8221; is gaining traction. JPMorgan analysts Dominic O&#8217;Kane and Patrick Jones suggest <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/12/42692036/billionaire-investors-michael-burry-david-tepper-could-benefit-from-chinas-stimulus-measures">China's expected fiscal stimulus</a> could be the turning point for the sector. 
With metal prices poised for a rebound, they urge investors to &#8220;accumulate positions in oversold miners&#8221; like Anglo American PLC (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NGLOY#OTCQX">NGLOY</a>) (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAUKF#OTCQX">AAUKF</a>), First Quantum Minerals Ltd (OTCPK:FQVLF) and Lundin Mining Corp (OTCPK:LUNMF).
Exchange-traded funds like the SPDR S&amp;P Metals &amp; Mining ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XME#NYSE">XME</a>), the iShares MSCI Global Metals &amp; Mining Producers ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PICK#NYSE">PICK</a>) provide diversified exposure to the metals and mining sector.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mining Stocks Set For Revival?</h2>
The 17% decline in European metals &amp; mining stocks since late September 2024 reflects market caution amid tariff risks and US$/CNY devaluation. However, analysts see this downturn as an opportunity for strategic investment. Anglo American faces near-term challenges, including $2 billion in impairments and delays in its diamond divestment strategy. Despite this, the company may emerge as an M&amp;A target post the Anglo Platinum de-merger.
Lundin Mining and Norsk Hydro ASA (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NHYDY#OTCQX">NHYDY</a>) stand out as resilient picks, with strong fundamentals that may help them weather tariff-related uncertainties. 
Analysts maintain a positive outlook on these names, expecting them to benefit from the broader market recovery.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gold Stocks Shine Amid Market Turbulence</h2>
Gold continues to prove its mettle as a safe-haven asset, with prices projected to rise to $2,100 per ounce. 
Stocks like AngloGold Ashanti PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AU#NYSE">AU</a>), Hochschild Mining PLC (OTCQX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HCHDF#OTCQX">HCHDF</a>), and Fresnillo PLC (OTCPK:FNLPF) remain key picks by the analysts, supported by strong silver production forecasts and rising demand for precious metals.
The VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDX#NYSE">GDX</a>) and the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDXJ#NYSE">GDXJ</a>) are popular ways to get exposure to gold miners&#8217; stocks.
The analysts highlight Fresnillo's silver production strength, placing it on a Positive Catalyst Watch.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">China's Stimulus: The Tipping Point?</h2>
All eyes are on the March 5 National People&#8217;s Congress, where China is expected to announce fiscal measures that could fuel a surge in metal prices. 
The analysts believe these moves could trigger a sharp market recovery, solidifying the case for accumulating positions in mining stocks before a potential uptrend.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Takeaway</h2>
As metals markets teeter on the edge of revival, accumulating oversold miners may offer strategic value ahead of a &#8220;V-shaped recovery.&#8221;

<h2>What Are Analyst Ratings?</h2>
Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
In addition to their assessments, some analysts extend their insights by offering predictions for key metrics such as earnings, revenue, and growth estimates. This supplementary information provides further guidance for traders. It is crucial to recognize that, despite their specialization, analysts are human and can only provide forecasts based on their beliefs.
