Ask Aime: What impact will Citigroup's earnings report have on its stock price?
Citigroup is expected to report its first-quarter 2025 results before the market opens on April 15, 2025. In the fourth quarter, the company saw an increase in total loan balances and solid growth in Investment Banking revenues. However, declines in deposit balances and net interest income were noted. Despite these challenges, citigroup is anticipated to show improvements in both revenue and earnings for the upcoming quarter.
Several factors are expected to influence Citigroup's first-quarter results. The Federal Reserve's decision to keep interest rates unchanged at 4.25-4.5% is likely to support the company's net interest income. Additionally, an uncertain macroeconomic backdrop due to tariff plans may have led to a decent lending scenario, potentially improving the average interest-earning asset balance. However, global merger and acquisition activity underperformed expectations, leading to market volatility and economic uncertainty.
Citigroup's stock has been the subject of various analyst comments. Bank of America recently reduced its price target on Citigroup shares from $90.00 to $89.00 while maintaining a "buy" rating. Morgan Stanley analysts have also expressed optimism, noting that Citigroup's shares are trading below their book value and tangible book value, making share buybacks a profitable option for the bank.
