Capital One Financial shares came under pressure after renewed regulatory and legal issues weighed on investor sentiment. The stock dropped following news of a revised $425 million settlement to compensate customers and resolve state claims that the bank misled savers about its 360 Savings and 360 Performance Savings accounts, as well as concerns over a public proposal to cap credit card interest rates at 10%, which could threaten future profitability. Analysts responded by tweaking their price targets, pointing to solid consumer fundamentals, typical seasonal loan growth and modest improvements in credit quality, but they also warned that potential rate caps could create short‑term volatility and squeeze earnings for card issuers like Capital One.
