President Trump signed a tax-cut bill on Friday, lowering the corporate rate to 21% from 35%. Banks’ deferred tax assets are now worth less, since future tax deductions will be lower.
Capital One, in McLean, Va., estimated that it will record a $1.9 billion fourth-quarter charge to cover the devaluation of its deferred tax asset.
Capital One disclosed the estimate in a Tuesday regulatory filing, in which the $355 billion-asset company also announced that it had resubmitted its revised capital plan, per an earlier agreement with the Federal Reserve following this year’s annual stress tests. As part of the revised plan, Capital One reduced the size of its share-buyback plan by $850 million to $1 billion.
The consent order between the Federal Reserve and Capital One required the bank to submit progress reports on its efforts to improve its risk management functions.

However, Credit Suisse said that the new tax law “will have a positive impact on the U.S. economy and our activity levels in the U.S., in particular with regard to our investment banking activities in advisory and underwriting.”
