Oppenheimer analyst Dominick Gabriele reiterated a perform rating on Capital One and zeroed in on the company’s domestic credit-card net-charge-off rate, which is the debt owed to a company that is unlikely to be recovered.
“The biggest surprise, to us, was [Capital One’s] domestic card’s net charge-off rate, which actually ticked down month over month in September,” he said.
For the third quarter, Capital One said its provision for credit losses dropped by $2.06 million to $2.3 billion, with net charge-offs of $2 billion.
Capital One reported earnings of $4.45 a share, well ahead of the FactSet consensus estimate of $3.24 a share. Revenue came in at $9.37 billion, ahead of the $9.21 billion estimate.
