Management remarks
Call period: 2026 Q2 · 2026-07-21
Guidance: Richard D. Fairbank: With all the moving pieces, we have chosen to focus our conversation on earnings power, and, you know, as we have said, we expect the earnings power of the combined company on the other side of the Discover integration to be consistent with what we expected at the time we announced the Discover acquisition inclusive of Brex, and the insourcing of technology that supports Capital 1 travel and inclusive of all these, you know, investments we have been leaning into.Demand and orders: Richard D. Fairbank: Excluding Discover, year over year revenue growth was 9.5% driven predominantly by underlying organic growth in legacy Capital 1 purchase volume and loans.Margins: Andrew Young: The combination of $2.7 billion of share repurchases, approximately 40 basis point impact from the Brex transaction, and an increase in risk weighted assets more than offset net income in the quarter.Analyst Q&A
Analyst Ryan Nash asked: Given everything that you have shared with us today, it sounds like there is some more investments that you want to make and understand you want to preserve optionality. But is the right way to think about it, this should be at least a 20% return business And what are some of the investments that could push it higher or lower in this environment? Management Richard D. Fairbank answered: The flip side of the loan pullbacks has been better credit performance Generally, credit has been, performing quite well. Capital 1 margins have had a strength as there is been accelerating retail deposit growth, the full Walmart P&L as part of these things. And then we have had this investment imperative which you know, in a sense, really has 2 big categories to it. 1 category is really the investments in technology and AI to, you know, capture the moment to capitalize over time on the an extraordinary transformation that is happening out there.管理层陈述

指引：理查德·D·费尔班克：我们预计，完成Discover整合后的合并公司的盈利能力，将与宣布Discover收购时的预期一致，其中包括Brex收购、支持Capital 1旅游业务的技术内部化及所有相关投资。需求与订单：理查德·D·费尔班克：若不计Discover，同比营收增长为9.5%，主要由Capital 1传统业务的购买量和贷款的内生增长推动。利润率：安德鲁·杨：27亿美元股票回购、约40个基点的Brex交易影响及风险加权资产增加，在本季度完全抵消了净利润。分析师问答
分析师瑞安·纳什提问：结合你方今天分享的所有内容，似乎你方还有更多投资计划，且理解你方希望保留选择权。但我们是否可以这样理解：该业务至少应达到20%的回报率？在当前环境下，哪些投资可能推高或拉低这一回报率？第一资本管理层理查德·D·费尔班克回应：贷款缩减的另一面是信贷表现改善，整体信贷状况相当良好。第一资本的利润率因零售存款增长加速以及纳入沃尔玛完整损益表而表现强劲。此外我们存在两大投资优先级：第一类是科技与人工智能投资，以把握当下机遇，并长期从当前正在发生的非凡转型中获利。This earnings-call research was prepared from company results, regulatory filings, financial statements, and earnings-call transcripts or official replays.
