The company at the time
Wells Fargo is one of the largest U.S. banks, known for everyday banking and home loans, and it had come through the 2008 crisis in better shape than many rivals. In September, regulators fined it $185 million after finding that employees had opened about 2 million accounts that customers hadn't asked for, to meet aggressive sales targets. The CEO resigned in October, and politicians and customers were angry. The bank was still very profitable, and its P/E was about 11. As a bank, its free cash flow and cash versus debt aren't shown on StockLab.
Information available at the time
The same numbers as on company pages, as they had been reported by November 7, 2016. Sector medians aren't shown because StockLab doesn't have them as they stood back then.
Revenue, growth, profit and cash flow are for fiscal year 2015 (ended December 2015), the latest full year in an annual report filed by then; cash and debt come from the latest report (its date is on the card). Results announced after that aren't in these cards yet, even if the story above mentions them, so their numbers can differ.
