What does the target cut change?

The USD 242.00 target lies 23.48 percent above the Lang & Schwarz price of EUR 174.65, but the comparison uses different currencies and is therefore not a return calculation. The more relevant signal is the direction of the estimate: TD Cowen retained a Buy rating even after reducing its target from USD 253.00.

Capital One's reported second-quarter net income was USD 3.02 billion, or USD 4.73 in GAAP diluted earnings per share, according to Business Wire. That compared with a USD 4.28 billion net loss and a USD 8.58 GAAP loss per diluted share in the second quarter of 2025.
