Wells Fargo & Co. said Tuesday its second-quarter profit climbed 11 percent as increased customer borrowing, continued deposit growth and investment gains helped the nation’s fifth largest bank overcome a sharp drop in revenue from home mortgages.

The San Francisco-based company said it earned $1.91 billion, or $1.12 per share, for the three months ended in June. That compared with net income of $1.71 billion, or $1 per share, at the same time last year.


Revenue totaled $7.87 billion, up 6 percent from $7.43 billion a year ago.
