Citigroup Inc. (C)

The bank reported a 16% profit increase, driven by record revenue across all divisions, even as it booked a $726 million loss from the sale of its Banamex stake.

Strong Quarter Across All Divisions

Net income climbed to $3.8 billion, or $1.86 per share, while adjusted earnings excluding the Banamex loss stood at $4.5 billion, or $2.24 per share, beating expectations of $1.90. Revenue rose 9% year-over-year to $22.1 billion, with record results in Markets, Banking, Services, Wealth, and U.S. Personal Banking.

CEO Jane Fraser credited the bank’s transformation strategy and resilient global economy for the strong quarter. “Every business had record third-quarter revenue and improved returns,” Fraser said. She added that the firm’s restructuring has positioned Citi for sustainable growth, supported by robust consumer spending and renewed capital markets activity.

Revenue Drivers and Segment Performance

Citigroup’s banking division revenue surged 34%, boosted by stronger dealmaking and capital markets activity. Investment banking fees rose 17%, with notable contributions from advisory, M&A, and underwriting. The bank benefited from a rebound in mega-deals amid optimism over U.S. rate cuts and lighter regulation.

Markets revenue increased 15% to $5.6 billion, driven by solid performance in equities and fixed income. Services revenue rose 7%, with assets under custody and administration (AUCA) up 13% to nearly $30 trillion. Wealth revenues grew 8%, as client investment assets jumped 14%, while U.S. Personal Banking achieved its 12th consecutive quarter of positive operating leverage, generating a record $5.3 billion in revenue.

Strategic Initiatives and Outlook

Citigroup advanced its Banamex divestiture, marking a major milestone in simplifying its global operations. Fraser emphasized the significance of the sale, noting progress toward full deconsolidation. The bank also announced a new partnership with BlackRock to manage $80 billion in client assets, aligning with its open-architecture wealth strategy.

Citi’s adoption of artificial intelligence remains central to its operational transformation. Nearly 180,000 employees in 83 countries are now using proprietary AI tools, recording 7 million uses this year. AI-driven code reviews have surpassed 1 million, significantly improving developer productivity.

CFO Mark Mason reported that Citigroup repurchased $5 billion in shares during the quarter, $1 billion above guidance, and ended Q3 with a CET1 ratio of 13.2%. The bank expects capital requirements to ease next year as the Basel III endgame concludes, providing flexibility for further buybacks.

Financial Metrics and Market Performance

Citigroup’s return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) was 8.6%, or 9.7% excluding the Banamex loss, slightly below its 2026 target range of 10%–11%. The firm reiterated confidence in surpassing its $84 billion full-year revenue target, driven by broad-based strength and cost discipline.

Citigroup’s stock has gained 44.91% year-to-date and 55.89% over the past year, outperforming the S&P 500’s 13.39%. Its three-year return stands at 159%, with a five-year gain of 179.16%, reflecting sustained investor confidence.

With its AI integration, renewed dealmaking strength, and accelerating cost efficiency, Citigroup is positioned for continued momentum into 2026, even amid regulatory and macroeconomic headwinds.

Economic policies are chasing investors away from US – Mercer

The post Economic policies are chasing investors away from US – Mercer appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A wave of clients are shifting away from U.S. assets as investors react to President Donald Trump’s trade and interest-rate agenda, according to Mercer LLC. The consulting firm says concern over tariffs, pressure on the Federal Reserve, a swelling budget deficit and the risk of a softer dollar are pushing money to Europe, Japan and other markets. Hooman Kaveh, Mercer’s global chief investment officer, said a rising share of the firm’s 3,900 clients, together overseeing about $17 trillion, are reducing U.S. exposure. The opening weeks in the early phase of Trump’s second term “has been a trigger for genuine diversification,” he noted in an interview this week. “We’re certainly seeing that in client portfolios where flows are toward diversifying markets, geographies, asset classes, currencies.” Market nerves were evident in early April after Trump’s “Liberation Day” announcement, when both U.S. stocks and Treasuries fell before rebounding. Even so, U.S. shares have trailed many overseas benchmarks in 2025 for dollar-based investors. Kaveh said investors are struggling to price the tariff path because the effects can cut two ways: either squeeze company margins or get passed through to consumers and lift inflation. “If you have a situation where tariffs are going to push prices up, and the weaker dollar potentially can increase inflation, that would cause the Fed much more of a challenge to cut rates,” he added. As mentione in a Bloomberg report, he called the White House’s preference for a weaker dollar “the Achilles heel to the current approach” since it can magnify the inflation impulse from tariffs. Where the money is going Trump’s repeated criticism of Chair Jerome Powell, saying he has been slow to lower borrowing costs, along with the president’s move to fire Governor Lisa Cook, is further encouraging clients to step back from the U.S., according to…
