WFC RF CMA

Wells Fargo & Company (WFC - Free Report) is scheduled to report its second-quarter 2016 results before the opening bell on Friday, Jul 15. But many questions persist in its investors' minds this time around, given the tough industry backdrop and litigation hassles that the bank has endured during the quarter.

In the last quarter, driven by organic growth aided by higher revenues along with strong loans and deposit balances, Wells Fargo reported a positive earnings surprise of about 1%. However, it compared unfavorably with the prior-year quarter’s earnings. Further, higher provisions and expenses remain a concern.

Wells Fargo has a decent earnings surprise history as depicted in the chart below:

From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
