Investment Risks: Investing in companies with no revenue or profit can be risky, as many investors learn the hard way that these investments often do not pay off.
Wells Fargo's Performance: Wells Fargo has shown a 13% annual growth in earnings per share (EPS) over the last three years, indicating potential for appreciation despite flat revenue and EBIT margins recently.
Insider Ownership: Although insiders hold only 0.1% of Wells Fargo due to its large market capitalization, their investment worth $323 million aligns their interests with shareholders.
Future Considerations: While Wells Fargo shows promise with growing profits and insider ownership, potential investors should be aware of existing risks and consider companies with stronger insider backing.
