what happened
Capital One Financial said on Tuesday that its third-quarter profit and revenue both climbed, according to Dow Jones Newswires, as it keeps folding Discover into its operations. Net income reached $3.54 billion, or $5.61 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, versus $3.19 billion, or $4.83 per share, in the year-earlier period.
Adjusted earnings came in at $6.69 per share, above the $5.50 that Wall Street had expected. Revenue rose 3% to $16.34 billion, topping the $16.25 billion analysts had forecast. Provisions for credit losses dropped by $73 million from the prior quarter to $2.92 billion.
Chief Executive Richard Fairbank said the company is making progress on its $35 billion Discover acquisition, which closed more than a year ago. “The Discover integration continues to go well and we're making good progress on delivering the expected synergies,” he said.
why it matters
Results beating forecasts on both earnings and revenue, together with lower loan-loss provisions, point to a stable credit book. Investors will watch how quickly the company captures the synergies it expects from the Discover deal.
