Citigroup - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Citigroup
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Citigroup Inc.:

Citigroup Inc. has a strong institutional ownership, with 71.72% of its stock held by institutional investors, indicating confidence from large financial entities in the company's future performance.
Recent insider trading activity shows that key executives are actively managing their stakes, which can signal their confidence in the company's prospects. For instance, the CFO recently sold shares but still retains a significant ownership valued at approximately $18 million.
The current stock price of Citigroup Inc. is around $83.21, which may present a buying opportunity for investors looking for value in the financial sector.
Citigroup Inc. operates through five segments, providing a diversified range of financial services, which can help mitigate risks associated with economic fluctuations.
Recent increases in stakes by hedge funds, such as Core Alternative Capital growing its stake by 83.4%, suggest a positive outlook on the company's growth potential.

Citigroup
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in Citigroup Inc. for these reasons:

Insider sales have been significant, with a total of 103,590 shares sold in the last 90 days, which may raise concerns about the executives' confidence in the company's short-term performance.
The recent decrease in ownership percentages among key executives, such as a 21.20% decrease for the CFO, could indicate potential issues or lack of confidence in the company's future.
Corporate insiders own only 0.08% of the company's stock, suggesting that there may be limited alignment between management and shareholder interests.
Market volatility and economic uncertainties can impact the financial services sector, which may pose risks to Citigroup Inc.'s performance.
Recent hedge fund activity, while showing some increases, also includes new positions that may indicate a cautious approach rather than strong long-term commitments.
