Citigroup Inc. is experiencing a notable turnaround under its new CEO, who has implemented significant restructuring and refocused the company towards its strongest business segments. With impressive earnings growth of 56% reported in the latest quarter, the bank is showing renewed potential, particularly in wealth management and investment banking. Analysts have observed that Citigroup trades below its book value, presenting a compelling opportunity for investors if the positive momentum continues. While higher interest rates pose challenges for the bank, many experts believe that Citigroup's inherent strengths and improving margins will drive further growth, making it an appealing investment choice amidst the larger banking landscape dominated by well-performing institutions like JPMorgan and Bank of America. The stock's performance over the last year has resulted in a significant increase, contributing to a favorable outlook as the market adjusts to the evolving narrative surrounding this banking giant.
Happy about the news. It's gravy. The CEO finally addressed the low ROE by cutting costs, by cutting five layers of management. She also got rid of most international operations, which he agrees with. He likes her decisions. He'd like to see shares surge.
Jim LebenthalIt boasts the lowest PE among the big US banks and pays almost a 5% dividend. They're cutting costs and bringing in great executives. They're a contrarian bank, lagging its peers this year.
Brian BelskiHe just bought it. CITI just hired a gem to run their wealth management division (a former colleague of his). It's the top value name among American banks.
Brian BelskiThe large US banks are holding their own, far better than the regionals. Citi is one of the most geographically diverse banks around which offers safety. Still likes it. Pays a 4.4% dividend and trades around 6.5x PE. Trades at a big discount to book value.

He regrets selling positions in MS and BAC and wants to get back in. He does want to sell some of his JPM. Wants to return to MS and GS, because he thinks their stock-trading revenue can excel. As for Citi, their revenues are way down, so he'll pass.
