Overall, Citigroup is poised for further growth, supported by its restructuring efforts and favorable market conditions in the US banking sector.
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.

Laggard. Checkered past. Market's not that confident in the stock. CEO is getting good marks in righting the ship. Lots of catchup to the rest of the banks. Lots of risk. He'd need to see more positives before stepping in.
