Capital One Financial Corporation stock (ISIN US1381731035) held at $221.23 on August 18, 2026, while MarketBeat showed a $135.72 billion market capitalization and a 52-week range of $174.24 to $259.64.
The same price snapshot showed a 0.10 percent daily decline, 3.08 million shares traded, and a consensus price target of $259.36, which leaves the stock below the top end of the recent range.
Earnings still frame the setup
Capital One reported $5.81 in diluted EPS for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, versus $4.79 expected, and revenue reached $15.83 billion, up 26.9 percent from the same quarter last year.
Those figures matter because they also came with a quarterly dividend of $0.80 per share, equal to $3.20 annualized, while the company posted a net margin of 13.37 percent and return on equity of 11.28 percent.
Consensus keeps the stock anchored
Analyst sentiment in the same market snapshot pointed to a Moderate Buy rating and an average target of $259.36, which is 17.2 percent above the quoted share price.
That gap is less about excitement and more about valuation discipline: Capital One traded at a P/E ratio of 13.69, a PEG ratio of 0.84, and a forward P/E near 10.90 in the same dataset.
Card, bank, and auto lending
Capital One's core business spans credit cards, consumer and commercial banking, and auto finance, which gives the company a mix of lending, deposit, and fee income.
The most visible product line remains its card and digital banking franchise, including Capital One 360, while the balance sheet data showed total cash of $56.64 billion and total debt of $48.99 billion as of June 30, 2026.
Price and level
At $221.23 on August 18, 2026, the shares sat above the 200-day moving average of $207.42 and below the 52-week high of $259.64.
