Discover Financial announced a substantial rise in fourth-quarter profits, increasing more than threefold due to reduced credit loss provisions and higher interest income, attributed to favorable economic conditions. The company’s provision for credit losses fell from approximately $1.91 billion to $1.20 billion year-over-year. Interim CEO Michael Shepherd highlighted that the results reflect a successful 2024 driven by loan growth and credit improvements. Discover reported a net income of $1.29 billion for the quarter, as it prepares for a merger with Capital One, which is expected to create a major player in the U.S. banking sector.
