Capital One Reports Strong Q3 Earnings and Progress on Discover Integration
Capital One Financial reported better-than-expected third-quarter results, driven by strong net interest income and improved credit performance. Revenue rose to $16.34 billion for the quarter ended Sept. 30, up from analysts' estimates of $16.27 billion. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) came in at $6.69 compared to an estimated $5.50. The company's shares jumped nearly 4% in after-hours trading despite being down about 17% year-to-date. The strong performance was largely due to a 4% sequential increase in net interest income, which exceeded expectations by $134 million. Although non-interest income fell short of estimates and expenses were higher than expected at $8.86 billion, marketing costs came in below forecasts. Capital One also reported lower-than-expected provisions for credit losses, contributing to the earnings beat. The company is making progress on its Discover integration, with management reporting about $1.8 billion in annualized combined synergies year-to-date. CEO Richard Fairbank noted that network and expense synergies are expected to grow further toward a 2027 target of $2.7 billion.
