Wells Fargo (WFC) finally escaped a Federal Reserve asset cap that has restricted its size for more than seven years, unleashing the firm from the unprecedented punishment in a major win for Chief Executive Officer Charlie Scharf. The bank’s shares surged. The Fed said in a statement Tuesday that Wells Fargo met all conditions required by an enforcement action imposed on the bank in 2018 to remove the restriction. The central bank completed its review of Wells Fargo’s remediation efforts and third-party assessments, as well as its own assessment of the bank’s corporate governance and risk management programs, it said.
Broadcom (AVGO) began shipping a new version of its data center switch chips that can boost the efficiency of AI accelerators, aiming to take a bigger role in the booming market for artificial intelligence computing. Shares rose on the news. The company started delivering the Tomahawk 6 switch chips to customers over the weekend, and the product will be broadly available in July, said Ram Velaga, senior vice president and general manager of Broadcom’s Core Switching Group. Switches, a central piece of networking equipment, allow computers to communicate with one another. A single new Tomahawk 6 can do the work of six of the previous versions, Broadcom said.
Dollar General (DG) surged after increasing its annual guidance, helped by luring more higher-income shoppers looking for deals. The discount chain also said it expects to mitigate a significant amount of the tariffs currently in place. The company sees same-store sales gaining as much as 2.5% this fiscal year, up from guidance in March calling for an increase as high as 2.2%. The retailer also nudged up expectations for earnings per share.
