Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 96

Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) was mentioned during the episode, and here’s what Cramer had to say:

“I spied the financials as being good. Wow, what’s that all about? I think we may be going along the route that says there will be no tariffs on the banks and the banks could soon be less regulated under this administration. Just this morning, Morgan Stanley talked about how Wells Fargo could be a huge winner if it finally sheds the darn asset cap implemented back in the early days of 2018…. If you read the piece, you’d think that the stock is just screaming by. It had me from the first line, ‘It’s a new era for bank regulation.’

Morgan Stanley said that once the asset cap is gone, it will allow Wells Fargo, which we own for the Charitable Trust, to put up better loan growth, better trading revenues, and lower expenses. Wow. I think that this piece was a bit of a life raft in the Atlantic. A note that says, ‘Hey, look at me, look at me. Remember the president said, there’ll be less regulation? Now it’s gonna happen. Hey, hey.’ Sure enough, Wells Fargo went up and it took the other big banks along with it.”

Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC) is a global financial services firm that provides a variety of banking, investment, mortgage, and financial solutions.
