		<description><![CDATA[Wells Fargo &#38; Company’s (WFC) first quarter 2012 earnings of 75 cents per share were 2 cents ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Results improved from earnings per share of 73 cents in the prior quarter and 67 cents in the year-ago quarter. First quarter net income applicable to common stock came in at $4.0 billion, up 3% sequentially and 13% year over year. Wells Fargo’s results were primarily driven by a higher top line. The company reported a growth in mortgage banking revenue. It also reported $400 million (pre tax), attributable to improved portfolio performance. However, an increase in operating expenses was on the downside. The quarter’s revenue came in at $21.6 billion, which was above the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $20.5 billion. Revenue was also up 5% sequentially ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday, Bloomberg reported that Wells Fargo &#38; Company (WFC) might purchase the London-based Burdale Finance Ltd. unit from Dublin-based Bank of Ireland PLC (IRE). In 2004, Bank of Ireland acquired Burdale from Wachovia Corp. for €71 million. Bank of Ireland was contemplating the sale of Burdale since April and has hired Hawkpoint Partners Ltd. as an adviser in this regard. The sale of Burdale is expected to be completed by the end of 2011. Burdale Finance Ltd. provides loans against assets in the U.S. and U.K. Currently, the firm has approximately €800 million ($1.1 billion) of loans in both countries across the Atlantic. The completion of the deal will mark Wells Fargo’s third dive this year on the assets of Irish banks. In October, Wells Fargo purchased €1.13 billion ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wells Fargo &#38; Co. (WFC) has decided to offload its H.D. Vest Financial Services business to Parthenon Capital Partners, a private equity firm. The company has entered into a definitive agreement in this context with Parthenon Capital. However, the terms of the deal were not disclosed. Wells Fargo had acquired H.D. Vest in 2001. Based in Irving, Texas, H.D. Vest offers investment and financial advisory solutions to over 1.8 million retail investors through an advisor base of over 4,800 securities-licensed tax professionals. Subsequent to the transaction, H.D. Vest&#8217;s existing management team, headed by Roger Ochs, will continue operating the business. The deal is a strategic fit for Wells Fargo, which is restructuring its business to optimize its business model. According to the company, the unit fails to align precisely with ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have reiterated our Neutral recommendation on the shares of Wells Fargo &#38; Co. (WFC). The decision comes following a detailed analysis of the company’s fundamentals, the pace of the Wachovia integration, its decision to acquire substantially all of the U.S.-based operating assets of Foreign Currency Exchange Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank of Ireland Group (IRE) and the current economic environment. First Quarter Results Wells Fargo’s first quarter 2011 earnings of 67 cents per share came just in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. Results, however, significantly surpassed earnings of 45 cents in the year-ago quarter and 61 cents per share in the prior quarter. Quarterly results reflect a decent reserve release and a decrease in expenses. However, the positives were offset by lower-than-expected revenues resulting from ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rating downgrade woes have plagued the U.K. banks. Rating agency Moody’s Investors Service, a wing of Moody&#8217;s Corp. (MCO), placed 14 U.K. banks and building societies on review for potential credit rating downgrades following the reluctance of the government to provide bailouts in future. The rating reassessment does not reflect a financial weakness either in the banking system or  in the part of the government. Rather, the assessment comes following the U.K. authorities initiatives to reduce capital injections from taxpayers’ money for banks that fail in the future. Government support is an important factor and accounts for the perked up ratings for banks. In fact, a bank with a higher rating helps it to enjoy lower banks&#8217; costs of funding. Therefore, with a downgrade, banks would face an increase in ]]></description>
