Dean Lia, President of Banking & Premium Products at Capital One Financial (COF), has demonstrated a consistent pattern of selling activity in the company’s stock over the past two years, with no recorded purchases. According to SEC Form 4 filings, Lia has executed 24 transactions since early 2024, all involving COF, with total sales exceeding $9.45 million. The most recent sales include a $753,320 disposition on March 9, 2026, following a $627,244 sale on March 2, 2026, and multiple transactions in February 2026 totaling nearly $800,000. Earlier sales were even larger, including a $2.21 million transaction in May 2024 and a $913,143 sale in March 2024.
The filings show Lia’s transactions are primarily coded as "S" for sales or "F" for dispositions to cover tax obligations, with occasional "A" awards indicating stock grants. The absence of any buy transactions suggests a one-way flow of equity out of Lia’s holdings, though the sales appear structured rather than abrupt, often clustered around quarterly periods. The largest single sale occurred in May 2024, while recent activity has involved smaller but still substantial disposals. The consistency of these transactions, particularly the repeated tax-related dispositions, points to a deliberate reduction in exposure to COF shares over time.
