Nomura Securities maintains a 'Neutral' on Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) price target of $29.00.

Nomura analyst, Brian Foran, said, "Wells Fargo’s 4Q EPS was slightly ahead of consensus. Revenues were better than expected and top-line beats are a rare commodity in financials right now. Moreover, the net interest margin came in better than expected, and there is evidence of market share gains, particularly in the big ongoing non-interest bearing deposit flows. The only knocks: a) one-time gains helped revenue, b) credit flattened out, and c) consensus EPS already has a big ramp in 2012."
