WFC Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) -1.5% MEDIUM
WFC Return 5-day cumulative residual -2.5% (FADE) WFC rallied ~6% in the two weeks into the print (from ~$82.6 on 6/30 to $87.69), erasing its unloved/underdog setup and raising the bar. Q1 precedent is a warning: the stock fell ~5.7% on report day (4/13 $86.64 to 4/14 $81.70) on a slight NII miss and continued NIM compression. A likely modest EPS beat driven by cost discipline/buybacks is more than priced in, while NII merely in-line and ongoing NIM compression plus a reaffirmed (not raised) ~$50B NII / ~$55.7B expense guide give the sell side little to push estimates higher — the out-period math (fewer forward NII revisions, ex-markets core spread pressure) pulls numbers flat-to-down. Sell-the-news fade into the rest of big-bank earnings week. MEDIUM
