Capital One Announces Preliminary Stress Capital Buffer Requirement

MCLEAN, Va., July 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE: COF) today announced the company's preliminary Stress Capital Buffer Requirement ("SCB"), as calculated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve") 2025 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review process ("CCAR"), is 4.5 percent, effective October 1, 2025. Capital One's previously disclosed SCB of 5.5 percent, as calculated by the Federal Reserve 2024 CCAR process, will remain in effect through the end of the third quarter of 2025.

In April 2025, the Federal Reserve issued a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend the calculation of the SCB.  The proposal would average stress test results over two consecutive years for purposes of determining the SCB requirement.  The proposal has not yet been finalized, and our preliminary SCB disclosed above has been calculated under the current framework and does not reflect the proposed averaging.
