The U.S. bank's stock has dropped by 0.37% in the past month, exceeding the Finance sector's loss of 0.73% and the S&P 500's loss of 0.82%.
The investment community will be closely monitoring the performance of Citigroup in its forthcoming earnings report. The company is scheduled to release its earnings on October 13, 2026. In that report, analysts expect Citigroup to post earnings of $2.67 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 19.2%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $23.74 billion, up 7.46% from the prior-year quarter.
For the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $11.2 per share and revenue of $95.55 billion, which would represent changes of +40.53% and +12.11%, respectively, from the prior year.
Investors should also take note of any recent adjustments to analyst estimates for Citigroup. These revisions typically reflect the latest short-term business trends, which can change frequently. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about the business outlook.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
