You can thank a healthy consumer for Capital One's big profit beat.
Capital One per-share earnings handily surpassed analysts' expectations, in large part because it released more than $700 million in loan-loss reserves from its credit-card business. The company's net charge-off rates and delinquency rates both fell from a year earlier and sequentially, continuing a trend for the company of improving credit metrics.
