Morgan Stanley raised the firm's price target on Capital One to $280 from $272 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. With lower delinquencies to drive lower defaults, a reacceleration in loan growth, and increased capital return, fundamentals remain supportive into 2026 for the consumer finance group, the analyst tells investors in a year-ahead note.

Reason
HSBC analyst Saul Martinez upgraded MasterCard (MA) to Buy from Hold with a price target of $633, up from $598. Valuation and strong financial performance underpins the firm's more positive stance on MasterCard, as its attractive financial algorithm remains intact as services generate outsized growth, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The adverse volume and financial impacts of the Capital One (COF) debit migration should not prevent MasterCard from generating low-double-digit net revenue and mid-teen EPS growth in the coming years, HSBC argues.

Outperform
Reason
Wolfe Research analyst Darrin Peller assumed coverage of Capital One with an Outperform rating and $270 price target. The firm says the company's higher returns should be a supportive of a higher valuation. Further improvement in both Capital One's earnings power and returns in the low 20% range should support a modestly higher multiple versus what the company has historically garnered, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
