An asset cap imposed on the bank has been a key reason why Wells Fargo, under its current CEO Charlie Scharf, has underperformed rivals.

Wells Fargo shares popped Wednesday after the Federal Reserve reportedly signaled that it will accept the firm's plan to overhaul its governance functions, a key step for the bank's effort to be released from a regulatory restriction.
