On September 24, 2026, Capital One scheduled its third-quarter earnings release for October 20, 2026, at 4:05 p.m. ET, according to Capital One. On October 6, 2026, TD Cowen lowered its target from USD 253.00 to USD 242.00 while retaining Buy, as MarketBeat reported.

Which dates matter next?

The next dated catalysts are October 20, 2026, for the third-quarter earnings release at 4:05 p.m. ET, and October 20, 2026, for the conference call at 5:00 p.m. ET, according to Capital One.

What does the target cut mean?

The USD 242.00 target remains 21.60 percent above the USD 199.01 NYSE price quoted at 10:04 a.m. ET on October 9, 2026. That spread leaves the analyst action constructive in direction, but the cut from USD 253.00 shows a lower valuation ceiling ahead of the earnings report.
