Mihir Bhatia has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors related to Capital One Financial’s performance and strategic outlook. Despite some volatility in credit metrics, such as the domestic card loss rate being higher than expected, Bhatia notes that the overall credit performance aligns with expectations. This stability is a key factor in maintaining a positive outlook.
Additionally, Bhatia highlights the strategic benefits from Capital One’s acquisition of Discover, which are expected to provide revenue synergies and capital returns. The growth in auto loan balances and the relative stability of card losses year-over-year further support the Buy rating. Bhatia maintains a price objective of $248, reflecting confidence in the company’s long-term prospects and valuation metrics.
In another report released today, Barclays also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $271.00 price target.
