Valuing Wells Fargo stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Wells Fargo's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Wells Fargo's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 15x. In other words, Wells Fargo shares trade at around 15x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Wells Fargo's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.3925. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Wells Fargo's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

TTM: trailing 12 months
Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Wells Fargo.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 34.31
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Wells Fargo's overall score of 34.31 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 63rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Wells Fargo is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 2.65/100
Wells Fargo's environmental score of 2.65 puts it squarely in the 4th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Wells Fargo is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 15.06/100
Wells Fargo's social score of 15.06 puts it squarely in the 4th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Wells Fargo is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 16.6/100
Wells Fargo's governance score puts it squarely in the 4th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Wells Fargo is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Controversy score: 5/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Wells Fargo scored a 5 out of 5 for controversy – the lowest score possible, reflecting that Wells Fargo's public profile has been damaged by multiple incidents.
Wells Fargo & Company was last rated for ESG on: 2019-01-01.

Dividend payout ratio: 27.78% of net profits
Recently Wells Fargo has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Wells Fargo shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Wells Fargo's case, that would currently equate to about $1.45 per share.
While Wells Fargo's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Wells Fargo may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Wells Fargo's most recent dividend payout was on 30 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 7 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Wells Fargo's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 13 August 2006 . So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Wells Fargo shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Wells Fargo shares which in turn could have impacted Wells Fargo's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Wells Fargo's shares have ranged in value from as little as $41.0646 up to $73.96. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Wells Fargo's is 1.136. This would suggest that Wells Fargo's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
