GC Matthew W Cooper sold 3,500 COF shares at $208.00 (July 2026); scheduled 10b5-1 plan execution.

Matthew W Cooper, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary, sold 3,500 shares of Capital One Financial at $208.00 on 2026-07-07, reducing holdings from 93.7K to 90.2K shares via a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan. The sale was scheduled, not discretionary. Cooper's prior trade at COF on 2026-06-02 also resulted in a 30-day return of +11.9%, and across his full cross-ticker track record, prior sells averaged a 30-day return of +5.4%, though these historical outcomes reflect events that already occurred and do not predict future price behavior. Capital One's current stock price of $191.92 sits 26.1% below its 52-week high and the sale price of $208.00, and the company shows strong fundamentals with annual revenue growth of +36.6% and $2.2B in recent net income against a $119.4B market cap. The scheduled nature of this transaction via 10b5-1 plan means it was not driven by discretionary timing decisions.

Matthew W Cooper sells 3,500 COF shares at $183.36; remains with 93,694 shares. Pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan.

Matthew W Cooper, General Counsel & Corp Secy, executed a sale of 3,500 shares for $641,760.00 as part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan, reducing his holdings from 97,194 to 93,694 shares. Because this transaction is scheduled under a 10b5-1 plan, it reflects a predetermined trading program rather than a discretionary decision made in response to current market conditions. Cooper retains substantial equity ownership at 93,694 shares, and the company demonstrates strong recent performance with annual revenue growth of +36.6%, net income of $2,174,000,000.00, and a market cap of $114,956,145,803.59. The sale carries routine significance for an executive of his level given the scheduled nature and modest share reduction (-3.6% of pre-transaction holdings).

The company reports strong fundamentals with $15.2B in quarterly revenue, $2.2B net income, and 36.6% annual revenue growth, though the stock carries a elevated P/E of 35.87.

COF President Blinde Neal sells 38,135 shares for $7.3M; holdings drop 53.2% in 8 separate transactions at $188.04–$191.45

Blinde Neal, President of Commercial Banking at Capital One, executed 8 separate sales on 2026-02-24 totaling 38,135 shares (38.1K shares) for $7,265,238.19 ($7.3M), reducing his holdings from 71.7K to 33.6K shares—a 53.2% reduction in position size. The sales occurred at prices ranging from $188.04 to $191.45, with a blended average of $190.51, while the stock currently trades at $208.47, indicating these sales occurred 9.5% below the current price. Across his cross-ticker history, Neal's prior sells showed a 0.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark with an average 90-day return of +1.6%, meaning his previous sell executions were followed by stock gains. At Capital One specifically, his one prior sale on 2025-11-06 also preceded gains (30d +4.0%, 90d +1.6%), establishing a pattern where his sell signals have not preceded declines.

Raghu Ravi (President, Software, International & Small Business) sold 13,450 shares of COF at $250.00 on 2026-01-05, reducing holdings by 30.7% to 30,337 shares; stock at 52-week high.

Raghu Ravi, President of Software, International & Small Business at Capital One Financial, executed a $3,362,500 sale of 13,450 shares at $250.00, reducing his holdings from 43,787 to 30,337 shares—a 30.7% reduction. The sale occurred at the 52-week high ($257.94 current price, representing +0.0% from that peak), and timing is notable in light of his cross-ticker track record: his 1 prior sale had a subsequent 90-day return of +21.8%, indicating the stock rose after his sell, which is a poorly-timed outcome. At the same ticker (COF), his 1 prior sale on 2024-11-05 similarly saw a +21.8% 90-day return, suggesting a pattern where his prior exit signals have not preceded declines. The company's P/E of 115.67 and recent revenue growth of +6.3% place this transaction in the context of a substantially valued name; the magnitude of the position reduction warrants attention to whether this reflects portfolio rebalancing or a change in conviction.

COF Chief Enterprise Svcs Officer sells 17,840 shares for $3,961,081.08; stock down 12.5% from 52-wk high, holdings fall 27.0%

Frank G. LaPrade III executed 2 separate sales on 2025-11-13, totaling 17,840 shares (17.8K shares) for $3,961,081.08 at a blended average price of $222.03, reducing his holdings from 66,155 to 48,315 shares—a 27.0% reduction. The timing coincides with Capital One trading at $201.01, which is 12.5% below the 52-week high of $229.74 and down 4.9% over the prior 30 days. Reviewing LaPrade's prior 5 sales at COF, his timing has been poor: 0 of 5 were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with an average 90-day post-sale return of +12.5%—meaning the stock typically rose after his prior sales at this ticker. This transaction occurs in a company with a P/E of 90.14 and represents a discretionary open-market disposition of a substantial portion of his accumulated position during a period of price weakness.

Significance 3

Blinde Neal (COF President, Commercial Banking) sold 43,200 shares at $221.83 for $9,583,056 under pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan

Blinde Neal, President of Commercial Banking at Capital One, sold 43,200 shares at $221.83 on 2025-11-06 as part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan, reducing holdings from 116,220 to 73,020 shares. The sale represents a scheduled reduction of 37.2% of his prior shareholdings with a total value of $9,583,056. Since this transaction is executed under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, it reflects pre-determined trading intentions rather than discretionary decision-making tied to current market assessment or company developments. The presence of a significant post-sale holding of 73,020 shares indicates ongoing equity ownership alignment, though the magnitude of the reduction may warrant attention to understand the plan's original design parameters.

Significance 6

COF CEO Richard Fairbank sold 103,487 shares for $22.8M across 9 transactions on 2025-11-04

Richard D Fairbank, Chairman and CEO of Capital One Financial Corp, executed 9 separate sales totaling 103,487 shares (103.5K shares) for $22,837,981.82 ($22.8M) on 2025-11-04 at prices ranging from $218.07 to $221.75, with a blended average of $220.68. His post-transaction holdings of 4,001,228 shares (4.00M shares) represent a -2.5% reduction from pre-transaction holdings of 4,104,715 shares (4.10M shares). The large single-day volume and price clustering across nine trades, combined with the fact that his cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of +31.2% following his prior 20 sells with a well-timed rate of 0.00%, indicates his recent selling has not preceded price declines. Current stock price of $216.88 sits -5.6% below the 52-week high of $229.74, and the 30-day return is +1.5%, with a 90-day return of +4.2%. The substantial dollar volume and multi-tranche execution warrant observation given the CEO's position, though the transaction occurs at near 52-week highs and follows recent prior sales on 2025-10-27 at the same ticker.

COF Chairman/CEO FAIRBANK sells 103,486 shares (2.5% of holdings) in 8 transactions for $23.4M via 10b5-1 plan

Richard D. Fairbank, Chairman and CEO of Capital One Financial Corp, executed 8 separate sales totaling 103,486 shares for $23,354,788.27 on 2025-10-27, with a blended average price of $225.68. The transaction is part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan, meaning it is scheduled rather than discretionary. Post-transaction holdings stand at 4,051,228 shares, a reduction of 2.5% from his prior position of 4,154,714 shares. As a scheduled plan trade, the filing reflects execution of a predetermined schedule rather than a response to current market conditions or company developments.

@ $209.59
Significance 4

COF Chief Credit Officer Michael Zamsky sold 5,515 shares at $209.59 on 2025-08-04; holds 27,364 shares post-sale.

Zamsky reduced his COF position by 5,515 shares (-16.8% vs pre-transaction holdings of 32,879 shares) at $209.59, currently trading 1.6% higher at $212.88. His prior COF sales occurred in May and November 2024; the two November 2024 sales saw 30-day declines of -2.8% and -3.1% but recovered to 90-day gains of +4.6% and +4.3%, indicating neither was well-timed to avoid subsequent strength. Cross-ticker, his 5 prior open-market sales averaged -0.8% return in 30 days and +4.4% in 90 days, with a 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00%, suggesting his sales have consistently missed upside rallies. COF's fundamentals show a sharp loss: net income of $-4,277,000,000.00 ($-4.3B) in the latest quarter against $12,492,000,000.00 ($12.5B) revenue, though annual revenue grew +6.3% year-over-year. The sale occurs near the 52-week high of $220.91, but absent a 10b5-1 plan or scheduled disposition trigger disclosed here, the sale's timing relative to known fundamental headwinds warrants monitoring.
