McLean, Virginia-based Capital One Financial Corporation (COF) operates as a bank holding company focusing on consumer and commercial lending as well as deposit origination. With a market cap of $73.9 billion, Capital One operates through Credit Card, Consumer Banking, and Commercial Banking segments.
Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as "large-cap stocks," and Capital One fits this bill perfectly. Given the company’s stronghold on the credit card market and consumer lending, its valuation above this mark is unsurprising.
