In a report published January 7th, Goldman Sachs added shares of Capital One Financial Corp. COF to the firm's Conviction Buy list. The firm lifted its price target on Capital One from $80 to $90.
What's in your wallet? According to Ryan Nash with Goldman Sachs, it should be Capital One. Nash outlines four reasons for the upgrade:
Market News and Data brought to you by Benzinga APIs- card growth turning positive in 2H14, driving margins higher;
- expense leverage (OPEX target of $10.5bn in 2014), which could add about $1.40-$2 of earnings over time;
- further progress on its transition to a capital returner (we see 65-70% payout; consensus 62%); and
- investors becoming more comfortable with a sub-5% long-term NCO ratio. Combined, these elements should translate to $8+ of earnings over time.”
