Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed June 25, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE: COF) filed a Form 8-K on June 25, 2025, announcing that it will fully redeem its 6.125%a Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series P, along with the corresponding depositary shares.
The redemption is scheduled for June 30, 2025 (the Series P Redemption Date). The Series P Depositary Shares (CUSIP: 14040HDL6), each representing a 1/100th interest in a share of Series P Preferred Stock, will be redeemed at $1,000 per depositary share (equivalent to $100,000b per preferred share), plus accrued but undeclared dividends from March 23, 2025 through the day before the redemption date. All 500,000 outstanding depositary shares will be retired.
For investors, this is a routine capital management action rather than a signal of operational stress. Redeeming a preferred issue at par-equivalent value removes a fixed-dividend obligation from the capital structure and reduces preferred equity outstanding. The filing does not state the funding source or the regulatory approval status, so investors should check subsequent disclosures or the press release context for whether the call is being replaced with new preferred issuance or funded from common equity or cash.
Because the redemption is at the call price, holders receive principal plus accrued dividends and are not exposed to a loss on the call itself. The 8-K reports no financial results, guidance, or changes to Capital One's operations.
The most recent balance sheet figures cited, as of March 31, 2025, are $367.5 billionc in deposits and $493.6 billion in total assets. The main investor takeaway is that this is a capital-structure housekeeping event affecting preferred shareholders, with limited direct implications for common equity holders beyond a possible change in preferred capital.
