Discover Financial Services (DFS) has been a point of interest in the financial market recently. A flurry of investments in the company were noted, like Certuity LLC's $251,000 investment, and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Group Inc., abrdn plc and Mirae Asset Global Investments Co. Ltd. that also increased their stock holdings in DFS. It ended Q4 of 2024 with net income of $1.3 billion and full year net income of $4.5 billion. Meanwhile, DFS and Capital One are pushing for a merger amidst multiple lawsuits. As the market faced volatility, DFS shares dropped. However, Capital One has received approval from the Delaware State Bank Commissioner for its acquisition of DFS. DFS reported strong credit metrics in January 2025 and there are suggestions that it would be a good credit card stock to add to one's portfolio. Despite challenges related to the merger and NYSE compliance notice, prominent figures such as former DFS CEO Roger Hochschild are joining DFS-related initiatives. Analysts remain bullish on DFS with expectations of strong Q2 earnings and multi-year growth potential. Mixed sentiments surround the $35.3B merger deal with Capital One, setting critical shareholder vote dates amid antitrust concerns.
