Capital One Financial Corporation (COF) has showcased a mixed performance in recent times. It has been a good addition to a portfolio, demonstrating strong trading days and outperforming its competitors. In an attempt to strengthen its position in the market, Capital One aims to acquire Discover Financial in a $35.3 billion deal. This move marks its largest credit card acquisition ever. However, the company's Q1 and Q2 2024 earnings were a miss, with a reported drop in profit by 61% and a net income less than the previous year's quarter. Despite the attempt to clinch the Discover deal with a $265 billion lending and philanthropy pledge, the aftermath has seen a decrease in its stock by 5.6%. The company's efforts to improve have succeeded in drawing investments from multiple firms and portraying a promising investment. Nonetheless, there were imminent bearish signals as insiders began disposing of stocks. A sharp focus will be on how US regulators react to the Discover deal and whether Capital One can weather the storm.
