Discover's Acquisition By Capital One: A $35 Billion Game-Changing Profit Venture

If Capital One’s $35 billion bid to acquire Discover Financial Services makes it through regulatory scrutiny, the deal promises to mint a new top credit card lender in the U.S. – and deliver higher card processing fees for the combined business. As part of the proposed deal, Discover shareholders would receive roughly one share of Capital One for each of their shares, leaving current Discover holders with 40% of the combined company, and current Capital One holders with 60%.
