Best Bank Stocks To Own Right Now: Wells Fargo & Company(WFC)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By Shah Gilani]
But the regulations didn't stop one of the country's biggest banks, Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC), from committing criminal activity on a scale that's simply unimaginable.

Another brand-name stock that found itself on the chopping block during the second quarter was embattled money-center bank Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC). In particular, the Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, wound up selling almost 4.5 million shares of Wells Fargo, while Leon Cooperman's Omega Advisors sold its entire position, which amounted to 412,500 shares. Andreas Halvorsen of Viking Global came in with the exclamation point: the liquidation of its 12.8 million share position in the second quarter.

So where do you find them? Well, preferred stocks trade just like common shares on one of the major stock exchanges. They are a popular fundraising tool for companies that need capital to grow and expand, but don't want to borrow or issue more common stock. Well-known businesses like Ford Motor (NYSE: F), General Electric (NYSE: GE), Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) and T-Mobile (Nasdaq: TMUS) have all issued preferred stock.

Buffett also stuck by his long-term commitment to Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC) which now amounts to about 10% of the bank’s outstanding stock. He almost seemed to excuse the fake account scandal with a comment that what happened at Wells Fargo could have happened to any bank. The scandal was the result of heavy corporate pressure on branch managers to increase sales. As a result, said Buffett, “Wells Fargo is a company that proved the efficacy of incentives and it’s just that they had the wrong incentives.”

Berkshire has a huge position in banking giant Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), and at first glance, it's surprising to see the stock on the list of companies in which Buffett trimmed Berkshire's holdings. After all, Buffett has been quite vocal in his defense of the beleaguered banking giant, arguing that the scandals involving falsified customer accounts, unnecessary insurance products, and mortgage overcharges stem primarily from a lack of smart management that has since been remedied by replacing much of the bank's former executive team. Buffett is convinced not only that Wells Fargo will be a strong investment in an improving business climate for banking generally, but also that it will outperform its peers in the industry.

As far as positive surprises go, Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) was probably the biggest positive surprise. I probably don't have to tell most listeners, Wells Fargo hasn't had the best couple of years, when it comes to their fake accounts scandal, the fallout from that, the other mini scandals along the way, and just recently, their punishment by the same Federal Reserve that says they're not allowed to grow until they improve. They actually got the approval to buy back more than twice the amount of stock that they did last year. One, that says a lot about how well-capitalized they are. Two, it also says a lot that their management's willing to do that, that they think that their stock is at such a compelling bargain right now that they're willing to spend over $25 billion on buybacks alone.
