What Happened
Blinde Neal, President of Commercial Banking at Capital One Financial (COF), sold a total of 38,135 shares in a series of open-market transactions on February 24, 2026, generating approximately $7,265,238 in proceeds. The sales were executed in multiple blocks with reported weighted-average prices for each block: 644 @ $188.04; 3,182 @ $189.38; 400 @ $190.14; 5,983 @ $191.45; 2,918 @ $188.32; 7,748 @ $189.42; 1,900 @ $190.64; and 15,360 @ $191.45.

Context
A 10b5‑1 plan indicates these sales were prearranged, which can reduce the implication that the insider was acting on recent, undisclosed company information. Sales by executives are common and can be for diversification, tax, or liquidity reasons; they are generally considered less informative than insider buys when assessing insider sentiment.
