Analysis:

TheStreet Quant Ratings

rates Capital One Financial as a

buy

. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, attractive valuation levels, good cash flow from operations and largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures. We feel its strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income.

Highlights from the ratings report include:

  • COF's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 3.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 10.5%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
  • Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 105.82% to $4,102.00 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORP has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of 42.99%.
  • Even though the current debt-to-equity ratio is 1.06, it is still below the industry average, suggesting that this level of debt is acceptable within the Consumer Finance industry.
  • CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORP's earnings per share declined by 6.1% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has suffered a declining pattern of earnings per share over the past two years. However, we anticipate this trend to reverse over the coming year. During the past fiscal year, CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORP reported lower earnings of $7.00 versus $7.59 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($7.53 versus $7.00).
