Nomura Securities Maintains a 'Buy' on Capital One Financial (COF); Raising PT

Nomura Securities maintains a 'Buy' on Capital One Financial (NYSE: COF) price target raised from $54 to $60.

Analyst, Brian Foran, said, "While 2012 numbers will remain very noisy, we continue to see $6.50 of EPS in 2013 on a GAAP basis and over $7 on a cash basis. As a result, we maintain our rating and roll forward our price target to 2013, resulting in a $60 target using a 9x multiple. Lastly, we do a deep dive on loan growth seasonality and find that store card has 2-3x the seasonality of regular card business, implying every year COF will have best-in-class month-on-month loan growth in 4Q and worst-in-class loan growth in 1Q."
