Item 8.01 Other Events.
On July 1, 2025, Capital One Financial Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the Company’s preliminary Stress Capital Buffer Requirement (“SCB”), as calculated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System 2025 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (“CCAR”) process, is 4.5 percent, effective October 1, 2025. The Company’s previously disclosed SCB of 5.5 percent, as calculated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System 2024 CCAR process, will remain in effect until September 30, 2025.
In April 2025, the Federal Reserve issued a notice of proposed rulemaking to amend the calculation of the SCB. The proposal would average stress test results over two consecutive years for purposes of determining the SCB requirement. The proposal has not yet been finalized, and our preliminary SCB disclosed above has been calculated under the current framework and does not reflect the proposed averaging.
