Jefferies analyst John Hecht downgraded Capital One Financnial to Hold from Buy with a price target of $100, down from $120. The analyst believes there is incremental risk with Capital One in an economic downturn, due to its elevated delinquency rates versus peers given its sub-prime composition, auto exposure, and higher cost structure relative to peers. Also, he notes the current valuation does not represent value in the context of historical valuations.
