Capital One Financial Corp (COF) has seen a mixed response regarding its recent performance and future prospects. The stock has shown an uptick of 13% over the past week, driven largely by the anticipation of rising interest rates, which could benefit banks as the rates they charge borrowers increase faster than the rates they pay on deposits. However, concerns persist regarding historically low return on equity (ROE) and the profitability impact of its recent $35 billion acquisition of Discover. While the recent announcement of a $5 billion acquisition of fintech company Brex sparked some volatility in shares, many experts see it as a strategic move to enhance competition against rivals like American Express. Overall, while there are signs of potential upside—with forecasts of 14% earnings growth and an ongoing share buyback strategy—a cautionary tone remains due to external factors like interest rate caps proposed by past administration and elevated expenses from the merger with Discover.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 20/11. Down 8%.) Sold Aug Puts for $1.05. Stock took a severe drop along with a lot of stocks. Could have bought the Put back but because of volatility, the price increased. A way to get around it is to Short the stock, which he did.

TOP PICK

Selling August Puts for $1.05. Great earnings momentum. Looking for a 3.1% yield.

DON'T BUY

Would still avoid this one. Their earnings power has been greatly diminished. There has been a lot of dilution. Trading at about 20X next year's earnings. Still have consumer problems. He switched from this to MasterCard (MA-N).

COMMENT

Cheap, cheap. Model price is $63.36, a 38% positive differential. He presumes everyone fears what they have and as they are not disclosing what they have so the market is punishing them. Will be looking closely at this in January.

BUY

Forward PE of about 6.75. They have a great franchise and a great brand. They have had an ability to pick the people they send a credit card to. Default statistics have been better than the market. Not for the faint of heart but if you are willing to take some risks it is worth it.

BUY

(Market Call Minute) – Keeping his eye on this one. Thinks it’s good for the long term. The model price is $68.66, a 33% positive upside.

DON'T BUY

Not much value there. Interest rates are higher in US. Can get better value elsewhere.

DON'T BUY

He has a model price of $71.40, giving it a negative differential of 4.5%. Doesn't have the US financials in his portfolio right now.

TOP PICK

Financials have been under pressure because of a rising interest rate environment. Trading at less than 10 X forward numbers. Will benefit as rates continue to go up as people will not be able to refinance their mortgages as much.

TOP PICK

Somewhat controversial, but it is one that people are buying. Smart Money is always more right than most processes.

TOP PICK

Still has another 20/25% upside.

BUY

Feels credit card companies will do well in a consumer sensitive market.
