RBC Capital Maintains Sector Perform on Capital One Finl, Raises Price Target to $200

WIIM

Capital One Financial shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q4 adjusted EPS results. Barclays maintained an Overweight rating on the stock and raised its price target from $219 to $220.

Capital One Financial Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>) reported better-than-expected earnings for the fourth quarter.
The company reported its quarterly results amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
<ul>
<li>RBC Capital Markets analyst Jon Arfstrom reiterated a Sector Perform rating, while raising the price target from $180 to $200.</li>
<li>Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/588f38ae77f9dd00016a51b4/sanjay-sakhrani">analyst Sanjay Sakhrani</a> maintained an Outperform rating and price target of $232.</li>
<li>Truist Securities <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/brian-foran">analyst Brian Foran</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating and price target of $229.</li>
</ul>
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
RBC Capital Markets: Capital One Financial reported its fourth-quarter earnings at $2.67 per share. Core earnings of $3.09 per share beat the consensus of $2.80 per share. "Overall, this was a stable fundamental quarter with seasonally driven loan growth and consistent credit as highlights," Arfstrom said.
Capital One's outlook looks stable and credit is likely to "track with typical seasonality in the near term," the analyst stated. The acquisition of Discover Financial Services (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DFS#NYSE">DFS</a>) is still expected to close in early 2025. The deal provides &#8220;material revenue and cost-saving opportunities," he further wrote.
Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods: Capital One's earnings beat was driven by lower provision and higher total revenues, offset partially by a higher tax rate and increased other expenses. The quarter was "solid," with stronger-than-expected US card credit quality trends, Sakhrani said.
"Importantly, the yr/yr change in delinquency rate for US Card turned negative in December and came in better than typical seasonality for the quarter, validating our view that there is quicker path towards normalized charge-offs for the segment," the analyst wrote.
Truist Securities: There are positive indicators for credit, Foran said. "Consumers are in good shape, delinquencies are now falling, and recoveries are rising," he wrote.
The biggest concern is the possibility of large investment cycle once the acquisition of Discover Financial Services closes, the analyst stated. Management also noted that "they are leaning in on subprime card given credit improvement" and the rise in purchase volume, he added.
Price Action: Shares of Capital One Financialhad risen by 2.26% to $197.58 at the time of publication on Wednesday.

Small Caps Soar, Apple Slips, Treasury Yields Fall On Trump Day 2: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

Capital One Financial Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>) is set to report its fourth-quarter financial results after Tuesday's closing bell. Here's a look at what investors will be watching when the financial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/01/42871340/regional-banks-can-thrive-despite-big-bank-dominance-truist-securities-highlights-three-key-paths-for-thriving-regional-banks">services company reports. </a>
What To Know: Wall Street will be interested in the performance of Capital One&#8217;s credit card segment, particularly its domestic card business. Net charge-off rates and delinquency rates are often seen as a barometer for the health of the U.S. consumer.

Rising charge-offs and delinquency rates may also be a point of concern for investors, as they could potentially lead to higher losses for Capital One in the future. The company reported its net charge-off rate was 5.6% in the third quarter, slightly above analyst estimates of 5.5% and the 30-plus day performing delinquency rate for the overall portfolio was 3.71% in the third quarter, up from 3.42% in the previous quarter. 
According to estimates from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, analysts expect Capital One Financial to report earnings of $2.82 per share and quarterly revenue of $10.21 billion after Tuesday's closing bell.&nbsp;
What Else: Investors will also be looking for any comments or financial impacts related to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42981370/cfpb-sues-capital-one-over-alleged-2-billion-in-lost-interest-for-consumers">the recent lawsuit</a> filed by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regarding interest rates on its savings accounts.&nbsp;
The CFPB's lawsuit alleges Capital One deliberately misled customers by hiding its more lucrative 360 Performance Savings account while falsely advertising its 360 Savings account as offering one of the best interest rates in the nation.&nbsp;
COF Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Capital One shares are up 1.25% at $193.34 at the time of publication Tuesday.

Shares of banking and financial services stocks are trading higher following strong bank earnings.

Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>) is facing a lawsuit filed by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which accuses the bank of cheating millions of consumers out of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/01/42871340/regional-banks-can-thrive-despite-big-bank-dominance-truist-securities-highlights-three-key-paths-for-thriving-regional-banks" rel="noreferrer noopener">more than $2 billion in lost interest.</a>
In a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsroom/cfpb-sues-capital-one-for-cheating-consumers-out-of-more-than-2-billion-in-interest-payments-on-savings-accounts/" rel="noreferrer noopener">statement</a>, the CFPB claims that Capital One falsely advertised its &#8220;360 Savings&#8221; account as offering one of the best interest rates in the nation, only to freeze the rate at a low level while rates increased across the country.
Between late 2019 and mid-2024, Capital One kept the interest rate on its 360 Savings account at just 0.30%, even as market rates soared. Simultaneously, Capital One introduced the &#8220;360 Performance Savings&#8221; account, which paid a substantially higher rate—at one point, more than 14 times the rate of 360 Savings.
Despite this, Capital One allegedly failed to notify existing 360 Savings accountholders about the new account and worked to obscure its existence.

The CFPB alleges Capital One deliberately misled customers by hiding the more lucrative 360 Performance Savings account. The bank named and marketed the two accounts similarly, eliminated mentions of 360 Savings on its website, and did not inform existing customers about the new product.
The bank even prohibited employees from informing 360 Savings accountholders about the higher-paying account, thus keeping them locked into the lower-yielding product.
Per CFBP, Capital One marketed its 360 Savings as a &#8220;high-interest&#8221; account with one of the nation&#8217;s best rates, only to mislead customers by freezing the rate at 0.30%. At the same time, it marketed the 360 Performance Savings account at much higher rates, ranging from 0.40% in April 2022 to 4.35% in January 2024.
The CFPB claims that Capital One&#8217;s actions amounted to a violation of the Truth in Savings Act by misrepresenting the interest rates for 360 Savings and unfairly keeping customers in the dark about the more beneficial 360 Performance Savings account.
The lawsuit seeks to halt the alleged unlawful conduct, provide restitution to affected customers, and impose civil penalties on the bank.
CFPB Director Rohit Chopra criticized Capital One for &#8220;baiting people with promises they can&#8217;t live up to,&#8221; and emphasized the harm caused by these deceptive practices.
&#8220;The CFPB&#8217;s lawsuit seeks to stop the companies&#8217; unlawful conduct, provide redress for harmed consumers, and impose civil money penalties, which would be paid into the CFPB&#8217;s victims relief fund,&#8221; stated Chopra.

CFPB Sues Capital One Over Alleged $2 Billion In Lost Interest For Consumers

UBS analyst Eric Wasserstrom upgrades Capital One Finl (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>) from Neutral to Buy and raises the price target from $168 to $235.

Upgrades

UBS Upgrades Capital One Finl to Buy, Raises Price Target to $235

Looking into the current session, Capital One Finl Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COF#NYSE">COF</a>) shares are trading at $179.98, after a 1.05% drop. Over the past month, the stock decreased by 3.74%, but over the past year, it actually went up by 39.55%. With questionable short-term performance like this, and great long-term performance, long-term shareholders might want to start looking into the company's price-to-earnings ratio. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1736368219_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Capital One Finl P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 34.96 in the Consumer Finance industry, Capital One Finl Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 17.18. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1736368219_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

Price Over Earnings Overview: Capital One Finl

Regional banks still have room to run and thrive even as it is &#8220;easy to overstate the advantage&#8221; for big banks, says Truist Securities in its latest note, highlighting three key paths for regional banks to succeed.
What Happened: Big banks have clear economies of scale, and they have been re-rated relative to small banks with the top five U.S. banks holding about 47% market share for a decade. According to the Truist Securities note, dated Jan. 6, the big banks are in a better position, but at the same time, individual regionals can position themselves to thrive.
Truist initiated coverage on 14 regional financial companies outlining three key strategies relating to pace, magnitude, and quality for the regional banks to remain competitive.
<ul>
<li>Differentiated Growth: Focus on unique and sustainable growth opportunities via differentiated customer base, a different form of fee Income and a niche business with competitive moat. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Disciplined Capital Allocation: Efficiently deploy capital to support growth and enhance shareholder value.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Navigating the Evolving Landscape: Adapt to changing market conditions, including interest rates, yield curve shifts, loan and deposit growth, and commercial real estate market dynamics.&#8221;</li>

Why It Matters: The three listed key paths for regional banks and card companies to thrive can be differentiated and linked to the stocks as mentioned by Truist in their research note.
Differentiated Growth Stories
<ul>
<li>Differentiated Customer Base: American Express Co has an exclusive high-end customer base, which would require an investment of over $100 billion to replicate, according to Truist. On the other hand, Fifth Third Bancorp has a unique ability to organically build a strong deposit market share.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Differentiated Form of Fee Income: Capital One Financial Corp has seen an expansion of network revenues following the acquisition of Discover. While, KeyCorp&#8217;s leading regional investment banking franchise will be favored by given the potential for increased deal activity driven by the Federal Reserve&#8217;s interest rate cuts and anticipated political changes.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Niche Business with Competitive Moat: Wintrust Financial Corp secures a dominant position in the highly profitable insurance premium finance market. Whereas, Huntington Bancshares Inc&#8216;s differentiated approach, including its expansion into new lending areas, will support its continued strong performance in loan, deposit, and fee growth across high-quality markets.</li>
</ul>
Disciplined Capital Deployment
<ul>
<li>Another way in which the regional banks could thrive includes a disciplined capital deployment which typically follows organic growth first, followed by dividends and buybacks, and potentially mergers and acquisitions. However, the key lies not in the order itself, but in the flexibility and agility with which banks can adjust their capital allocation strategy in response to evolving company, industry, and macroeconomic conditions.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Truist believes some banks are attractively valued for share repurchases. M&amp;T Bank Corp&#8216;s CFO in a recent conference hinted at higher buybacks in 2025.</li>
</ul>
Navigating The Evolving Landscape
<ul>
<li>According to Truist, it&#8217;s not unusual for multiple challenges to arise simultaneously. The current environment has witnessed sluggish loan and deposit growth amidst rapid interest rate hikes. However, it is anticipated that at least some of these headwinds will begin to abate in the coming year, leading to a more favorable environment for the banking sector</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>CRE Valuation: Banks with significant commercial real estate exposure in high-growth, high-income markets, such as Fifth Third and Huntington, are well-positioned for future CRE origination opportunities. M&amp;T and Citizens Financial Group Inc. will also benefit from an eventual improvement in market conditions.</li>

Regional Banks Can Thrive Despite Big Bank Dominance: Truist Securities Highlights Three Key Paths For Thriving Regional Banks

Analysts at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/truist-securities">Truist Securities</a> initiated coverage on 24 large-cap, regional, and trust banks, as well as credit card companies. They anticipate strong earnings growth over the next two years, projecting an annual increase of 12-15% fueled by factors like improving loan growth, a steeper yield curve, and ample capital for expansion.
What Happened: Forecasting a favorable environment for banks in 2025 and 2026, the analysts at Truist foresee a less stringent regulatory environment, with more clarity and flexibility for banks regarding mergers and acquisitions, and the deployment of excess capital.
The note highlighted that the banking stocks were de-rated during the first two years of Trump 1.0 because the yield curve was flattened and late-cycle macro concerns surfaced, even as the administration enacted bank-friendly tax reform and regulatory tailoring. However, according to the brokerage, a little Fed easing and a steeper curve are necessary for the stocks to be re-rated and two rate cuts are expected in 2025, as hinted by Fed during their December meeting. 
According to Truist, while bank valuations have increased, they remain relatively attractive compared to historical levels. They currently trade at a price-to-book value (P/TBV) below their post-financial crisis average, and at a significant discount to the broader market. The note adds that given the current market valuations, bank stocks appear undervalued relative to the S&amp;P 500.
However, despite Truist beliefs that the sector offers attractive opportunities, careful stock selection is crucial according to them. &#8220;While we're not at &#8216;close your eyes and buy ‘em levels,&#8217; we still see attractive opportunities across the sector and view stock selection as increasingly important,&#8221; the note said.

Why It Matters: Truist&#8217;s coverage on 24 financial stocks is spread across three subgroups namely, large-cap, regional, and trust banks, which is initiated with a positive outlook.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Large-Cap Banks</h3>
The research note examines long-term investment potential of large U.S. banks as these institutions possess significant advantages, including, &#8220;embedded offense&#8221; with the presence of strong existing businesses and customer relationships.
It also anticipates cyclical tailwinds and capital leverage for such banks given a favorable economic environment and the ability to effectively utilize capital for growth.
These factors position large U.S. banks to achieve organic growth by the expansion of core businesses, double-digit earnings growth and an attractive returns on equity.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trust Banks And Capital Markets</h3>
Truist anticipates gradual interest rate decreases, the eventual end of quantitative tightening, and a healthy economy and capital markets providing a competitive landscape to trust banks.
According to the analysts, investors should prioritize stocks with the potential for sustained operating leverage. Which is the ability to increase profitability significantly with relatively small increases in revenue. And stocks with strong capital returns, with high levels of income through dividends and share buybacks.
