| Score | Rating | Percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Total Score | 80.62 | Strong overall |
| Growth | 81.33 | Excellent |
| Quality | 73.90 | Good |
| Value | 61.25 | Above average |
| Momentum | 48.30 | Declining recently |
The total score has dipped from 83.7 on March 30 to 80.6 currently, primarily due to momentum softening from the mid-50s to 48.3.
Short interest has been declining consistently since December 2025, dropping from 9.5 million shares to 7.89 million currently. This suggests short sellers have been unwinding positions as the stock has rallied.
The put/call ratio of 1.07 is slightly elevated compared to the recent 20-day average, indicating modest bearish positioning. However, it's well within the normal range (52-week low: 0.52, high: 1.51).
Capital One has earnings scheduled for April 23, 2026 at 8:05 PM UTC.
Bottom Line: COF shows strong fundamental scores (growth and quality particularly impressive) with very light short interest and cheap borrowing costs. The stock has momentum but scores suggest it's cooling off slightly. The upcoming earnings report on April 23 will be a key catalyst.
