Description: COF Capital One Financial December 02, 2025

Capital One Financial Corp. (NYSE:COF) is a diversified financial-services holding company that operates through three primary segments-Credit Card, Consumer Banking, and Commercial Banking-serving individuals, small-business owners, and large corporate clients across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.

The firm’s product suite includes checking, savings, money-market, and time-deposit accounts; a broad range of loan products such as credit-card balances, auto and retail loans, and commercial real-estate financing; and card-issuing services (both credit and debit). Distribution is a mix of digital platforms, physical branches, and “Capital One Cafés” in key states including New York, Texas, and California. The company was founded in 1988 and is headquartered in McLean, Virginia.

Recent data (Q3 2024) show COF’s credit-card portfolio grew ~5 % YoY, while its net interest margin slipped to 2.3 % amid a rising-rate environment-both metrics that are highly sensitive to Fed policy and consumer-credit health. The consumer-finance sector is currently driven by the pace of interest-rate hikes, inflation trends, and the lagging recovery of discretionary spending, all of which directly affect Capital One’s loan-loss provisions and fee income.
