"COF (overview): Acquisition of Discover transforms Capital One from issuing bank to payment network - creating direct American Express competitor. $1.22B Q1 earnings (86% from cards) with $16.26B loss reserves (5x current losses). Network effect creates wide moat business - extremely difficult to replicate. Will maintain Discover brand, expand global acceptance."
