Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 90

Cramer was positive on Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE:COF) back then, especially given its Discover acquisition:

“Capital One is terrific. Capital One is terrific. Management is great. The buy—if they’re able to close on that Discover deal—would be amazing. I say stick with that.”

Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE:COF) has been doing pretty well since then, rising by 20.23%.

Capital One Financial Corporation (NYSE:COF) popped up on Cramer’s and Wall Street’s radar again earlier this year. This is what Cramer said on the 24th of January:

“Now let me tell you a funny thing here. Capital One is actually my favorite. I put it in the bullpen so to speak. I’m thinking about buying it because of the Discover, you know, because of this Discover merger, which is gonna be so bullish, and because I don’t think there will be usury fees. So I want to go against what the president’s musing was right there and buy Capital One, COF, a really well run, really, really well run credit card, credit card company.”
