Citigroup's Transformation Plan Takes a Disappointing Turn. Is the Investment Thesis Still Intact?

Citigroup's Transformation Plan Takes a Disappointing Turn. Is the Investment Thesis Still Intact?

Since the beginning of 2021, Citigroup (NYSE: C) has been working on a multiyear plan to modernize and simplify the bank, focus on better-performing businesses, and ultimately boost returns, which management hopes will lead to a higher valuation and stock price. A key part of this plan had been selling the consumer, small business, and middle-market banking arm in Citigroup's Mexican subsidiary, Citibanamex, which has been a high-performing business. Citigroup has been divesting most of its international consumer banking franchises that lack adequate scale.
