Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE:COF) is one of the 11 best performing Warren Buffett stocks in 2025. On June 23, Barclays lifted its price target for Capital One to $253 from $212 while maintaining an “Overweight” rating on the stock.

Barclays said the premise for their decision is the modeling adjustments made in relation to Capital One’s acquisition of Discover Financial Services (DFS). The analysts are optimistic about the potential benefits of the DFS deal, including significant synergies and growth opportunities. They also anticipate a possible re-rating of the company’s valuation multiples over the long term. In light of the modeling adjustments, Barclays’s revised financial projections estimate earnings per share (EPS) for 2027 to reach $25.28, which suggests a 20% increase compared to prior forecasts.

Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE:COF) is a diversified financial services company. It offers credit cards, auto loans, savings and checking accounts, and commercial banking services. The company operates through three main segments: Credit Card, Consumer Banking, and Commercial Banking. Following the DFS acquisition, Capital One now offers Discover-branded credit cards and operates the Discover, PULSE, and Diners Club International payment networks.
