Capital One Financial Corp. Hits Day High with 4.7% Intraday Surge

Capital One Financial Corp. has experienced a notable increase of 4.7% on February 25, 2026, reaching an intraday high of USD 206.19. This performance stands in contrast to the S&P 500, which gained only 0.69% on the same day. Despite this positive movement, the stock has faced challenges over the past week, declining by 1.95%, and a more significant drop of 5.3% over the past month. In terms of profitability, Capital One maintains a strong net interest margin of 6.47%, alongside a solid average return on assets (ROA) of 1.42%. The company has also reported a gross non-performing asset (NPA) ratio of 1.6%, indicating effective asset management. However, the stock's valuation appears high, with a price-to-book ratio of 1.73, reflecting a premium compared to its peers. Over the last three years, Capital One has consistently outperformed the S&P 500, generating returns of 28.62% in the past year alone. Despite a decline in profits by 6.4% during this period, the company continues to demonstrate strong long-term fundamental strength within the major banks industry.
