FAIRBANK RICHARD D

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 for $23.4M across 8 transactions on 2025-10-27

Richard D. Fairbank, Chairman and CEO of Capital One Financial, executed 8 separate sales totaling 103,486 shares (103.5K shares) for $23,354,788.27 ($23.4M) on 2025-10-27, reducing his post-transaction holdings to 4,051,228 shares (4.05M shares), a net decrease of 2.5% versus pre-transaction holdings. The blended average price across these transactions was $225.68, representing a 3.3% premium to the current price of $218.59. The stock stands at -4.8% from its 52-week high of $229.74, suggesting Fairbank sold near recent peak valuations. His prior five sales at COF (November 2023) generated uniformly strong positive 90-day returns (ranging from 26.7% to 30.2%), indicating those sales were poorly timed from an execution perspective; however, his cross-ticker track record shows a 40.0% well-timed rate on sells with an average 90-day return of +15.6%, reflecting inconsistent timing patterns across his trading history. In the current quarter, Capital One reported significant net losses of $-4,277,000,000.00 against revenue of $12,492,000,000.00, a material deterioration that provides fundamental context for the timing of this large reduction in insider holdings.
