Wells Fargo dividend cut



Mar 06, 09 Wells Fargo announce that it will cut dividend from 34 cents to 5 cents. It is the last "giant" to cut dividends. As I mentioned yesterday, I think cutting dividends is a right decision to regain investors' confidence, keep its capital and balance sheet strength (tangible capital ratio will improve by 40 bps).
It will also clear one of the big uncertainty issue for the company as well as the bank sector.

Here's from the CEO's press release:

“This was a very difficult decision but it’s absolutely right for our Company and our shareholders because it will further strengthen our ability to grow market share and to continue our long track record of profitable growth,” said President and CEO John Stumpf. “We will return to a more normalized dividend level as soon as practical. We have among the most loyal shareholders in America – individuals and institutions alike – and we’ve always recognized the value of dividends. Operating results for the first two months of the year are strong. Our ability to grow market share in this environment and to benefit from new business opportunities remains second to none. Our merger with Wachovia is on track and we remain as optimistic as ever about its potential benefits for all our stakeholders.”
