Capital One Announces Stress Test Results
Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE: COF) posted a summary of its company-run stress test results on its website (www.capitalone.com). This summary shows the results of Capital One’s modeling of the severely adverse scenario published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”). From the home page, select “About” choose “Investors” to access the Investor Center, select "Financials," and then choose “Stress Test Results” to view the current summary.
As announced by the Federal Reserve in February 2026, the Federal Reserve is maintaining the stress capital buffer requirements (“SCB”) for all participating firms at their current levels until September 30, 2027. Consequently, absent further action from the Federal Reserve, the Company’s SCB will remain at 4.5% until September 30, 2027. As a reminder, the 4.5% SCB was calculated prior to the close of the Discover acquisition and therefore is based on stand-alone Capital One.
