Capital One stock: CEO Fairbank sells USD 18.6 million in shares

Capital One chairman and chief executive Richard D. Fairbank sold 91,743 common shares on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, after exercising stock options, according to a Reuters report published by Investing.com. The transactions generated approximately USD 18.6 million, with reported sale prices ranging from USD 199.55 to USD 214.61 per share.

The sales followed the exercise of options for 40,743 Capital One shares at USD 86.34 each. Both the acquisition and the subsequent disposals were carried out under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan established on May 13, 2025. Such plans set trading instructions in advance and therefore do not by themselves indicate when an executive decided to sell.

Fairbank retains substantial ownership

After the transactions, Fairbank directly beneficially owned 3,968,520 Capital One shares, according to the same report. The disclosed sale therefore reduced his direct position but left him with a substantial continuing stake in the financial-services company.

The transaction came after Capital One reported third-quarter adjusted earnings of USD 6.69 per share and revenue of USD 16.3 billion, figures cited in the Reuters report. The company also declared a quarterly common dividend of USD 0.80 payable on December 1 to shareholders of record on November 16. Those developments provide operating and shareholder-return context, while the insider transaction remains a separate ownership signal.
