Valuation
Undervalued
BUY
Citigroup Inc.

Banks earnings happen next Wednesday: JPM, Goldman, Wells Fargo and Citi. He expects good reports from all. The expected increase in M&A will benefit all. These stocks are off their highs at very low PEs. He's been buying them.

TOP PICK
Citigroup Inc.

A story of going from very bad to less bad to good. Selling assets. Trades ~7x, in line with other banks. But growing around 24% CAGR over the forecast horizon 2025-27. Beneficiary of the new Trump trade combined with cost cuts. More growth than either JPM or BAC. Yield is 3%.

Own in a registered account.

(Analysts’ price target is $78.99)

BUY
Citigroup Inc.

Owns this and JPM. Trades at a much cheaper 70% of book vs. JPM's 2x book.

banks
DON'T BUY
Citigroup Inc.

Trades below book value. Going through large restructuring, which can make earnings numbers volatile. So you have to be careful. All banks should do well in next several years with deregulation coming. Yield is ~3.2%.

He prefers BAC or JPM.

TOP PICK
Citigroup Inc.

Likes the upside potential with strong dividend (downside protection). Yield curve has smooth out - interest rates also falling. Very strong balance sheet with high lending capabilities. Company moving toward reducing global presence - capitalize on the USA. Less regulation under Trump presidency will also help company.

HOLD
Citigroup Inc.

Business has done a great job YTD (~20% share price appreciation this year). Earnings growth this year very good. New CEO doing a good job. Share price has been flat - hard to grow in the USA. Would hold at current share price level. Not buying, or selling. 

banks
BUY
Citigroup Inc.

Because of today's strong jobs report, credit delinquencies won't be as bad as feared, which benefits Citi.

banks
BUY
Citigroup Inc.

The CEO has done a great job the last 2 years, consolidating it a bit and focusing it to turn around the company. It remains not best in class, though trades at an unheard of 70% of book value. There's upside to earnings. The valuation gap with peers is closing. Likes it overall.

banks
Unspecified
Citigroup Inc.

He likes banks as a group and Citigroup is probably the worst performer of them. It will play catch up with JP Morgan, etc. and could be a rotation play. When rates fall the spread widens so this is good for banks.

TOP PICK
Citigroup Inc.

Long been in the doghouse, but the new CEO has pared foreign exposure and made the company more efficient. Remain cheap at a 36% discount to tangible book value. They will rapidly boost earnings. 

(Analysts’ price target is $72.21)

HOLD
Citigroup Inc.
JPM vs. C

Owns both, for different reasons.

JPM is the best bank in the US, perhaps the world. Jamie Dimon is the smartest banker around, and has his own money invested in the bank. Management has a deep bench. Not cheap, but he's not selling. Might grow 12-15% a year.

Citi is a turnaround, trades below book value. Most of the others trade at a premium. Owns a number of great, capital-light businesses. Doing a good job getting out of the morass of last 15 years. Doesn't usually buy turnarounds, but at 1/3 book value it was too cheap to pass up. Looking for a double in the next 3 years.

banks
TOP PICK
Citigroup Inc.

Still low-hanging fruit, despite big run. At 9x, cheaper than most Canadian banks. Beat last quarter, EPS up 10% YOY. Beat on revenue. Making progress on reorganizing and optimizing costs. Will be beneficiary of lower rates and steepening yield curve. Should benefit from this great rotation where people are looking to own things other than tech. $1B in buybacks in this current quarter is a very nice tailwind. 25% growth rate. Yield is 3.5%.

What's not to like at these levels?

(Analysts’ price target is $71.90)
banks
WEAK BUY
Citigroup Inc.

The banks are down today after reporting, but he doesn't see anything wrong with the sector. The economy has slowed, but the banks should do fine when the Fed cuts rates. Part of today's selling has been profit-taking, because the sector has performed this year. Projected expenses for Citi are only a touch higher than expected. More importantly, share buybacks this quarter will be $1 billion, alight number due to ongoing problems with the regulators. They beat earnings and revenues though. The stock is cheap.

banks
COMMENT
Citigroup Inc.

He doesn't understand why Citi is down. The CEO's plan is coming together. He's not concerned about their slightly higher expenses. They just reported a beat. 

banks
BUY
Citigroup Inc.

He just added more. Until 9 months ago, CIti was a dog as the street wasn't giving the new CEO the benefit of the doubt in her turnaround plan. But that's changed. Will know more in next week's earnings. Last week's bank stress tests were important. Citi will slightly raise its already-high dividend, but will buy back a lot of shares.
