Earnings and Revenue
Based on Capital One Financial management projections, analysts predict EPS of $2.87 on revenue of $6.93 billion.
Capital One Financial reported a profit of $2.42 when it published results during the same quarter last year. Sales in that period totaled $6.99 billion. If the company were to post earnings inline with the consensus estimate when it reports Tuesday, EPS would be up 18.6 percent. Sales would be down 0.79 percent on a year-over-year basis. In comparison to analyst estimates in the past, here's how the company's reported EPS stacks up:
Quarter | Q2 2018 | Q1 2018 | Q4 2017 | Q3 2017 |
EPS Estimate | 2.56 | 2.31 | 1.87 | 2.17 |
EPS Actual | 3.22 | 2.65 | 1.62 | 2.42 |
Stock Performance
Over the last 52-week period, shares are down 1.26 percent. Given that these returns are generally negative, long-term shareholders are likely unhappy going into this earnings release.
Analysts have adjusted their estimates higher for EPS and revenues over the past 90 days. Analysts seem to have settled on a Neutral rating with Capital One Financial. The strength of this rating has maintained conviction over the past three months.
