Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE:COF) is one of the stocks from different market sectors that Jim Cramer commented on. Cramer mentioned the company while discussing the performance of the financials sector, as he stated:

“Let’s go through the other eight sectors, the ones that underperformed. Descending order… First, the financials were the fourth-best sector in the market last year. They were up 13.3%. Now, there were some huge winners like Robinhood, that was up more than 200%. The big banks did very well. Citi, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, they were up more than 25%. Banks. Capital One, made you a bundle, too. Now, we own Goldman, Wells, and Capital One for the Charitable Trust… For 2026, I say, please, just keep it simple. Stick with the banks. They’re still cheap, especially the investment banks. Even after these moves, I really like them… And you know, I like Goldman, I like Capital One. Both of them are absolutely terrific, and Wells looks like, I think it’s going to go to par, standard Wall Street gibberish for $100.”
