The wealth management unit reported revenue of $3.9 billion, up 13% year over year.
Wells Fargo said its profit increased 17% from a year earlier in the second quarter. Net income at the bank was $6.41 billion. That amounted to $2 a share, above analyst estimates of $1.72. Revenue was 9% higher at $22.

The coming batch of report cards from America’s largest banks is set to reflect that Wall Street’s core businesses are doing exceptionally well, driven by a Main Street that’s doing well enough. Strong equities-trading and investment-banking activity this spring should propel earnings at Wells Fargo, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs, which each report within hours of each other on Tuesday. Morgan Stanley, U.S. Bancorp, and other lenders are scheduled to report in the days after.
The four largest U.S. banks and Goldman Sachs are poised to report higher profits from a year ago thanks to buoyant equity markets, a solid economy, and merger and IPO activity.
