Citigroup Earnings Top Estimates, Boosted by Investment Banking

Reuters10-15

Citigroup reported third-quarter earnings before the opening bell on Tuesday that topped Wall Street expectations, with growth in investment banking and wealth management.

U.S.-listed shares of the company rose 2.2% in premarket trading.

Here’s what the company reported compared with what Wall Street analysts surveyed by LSEG were expecting:

  • Earnings per share: $1.51, vs. $1.31 estimate

  • Revenue: $20.32 billion, vs. $19.84 billion estimate

Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser took over in March 2021 and has focused on slimming down the bank during her tenure. That includes reducing Citigroup’s global presence and laying off workers.

Investment banking and equities trading were two bright spots for the bank in its second-quarter earnings report, released in July.

Shares of Citigroup were up more than 28% year to date through Monday, outperforming both the S&P 500 and the financial sector.
