Movement Alert|Citigroup Falls 3.04% in Regular Trading, strong Q3 results were offset by softer investment-banking activity and a price-target cut

Market Focus
Yesterday

On October 13, Citigroup fell 3.04% in Regular Trading, trading at $127.71 per share, with turnover of $1.101 billion.

The main catalyst in view was a mixed post-earnings read. Citigroup reported third-quarter diluted EPS of $2.85, above consensus expectations of $2.65 to $2.67, on revenue of $23.85 billion, also ahead of estimates and up from $22.09 billion a year earlier. Net income reached $5.245 billion, up 40% year over year, while operating expenses declined 2%.

However, management also indicated that advisory and debt underwriting activity softened in the quarter, tempering enthusiasm around the earnings beat. Separately, UBS cut its price target on Citigroup to $139 from $142 while maintaining a Neutral rating. Together, those updates help explain why the stock moved lower despite headline profit and revenue outperformance.
