  • Capital One has added $2.4 billion to its revenue over the last two years, from $25.4 billion in 2016 to $27.8 billion in 2018.
  • We expect revenue growth of about $1.9 billion over 2019-2020, which would be driven by about $1.5 billion from Credit Card division and $400 million from Consumer Loans division, partially offset by a marginal drop in Commercial Loans Revenues.
