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.

Should I Buy Citigroup Stock? C Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Tuesday, April 8, 2025. Please send any questions or comments about these Citigroup pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Citigroup
Bull Case

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

Citigroup Inc. has received multiple buy ratings from analysts, indicating strong confidence in its future performance. This includes an upgrade from Barclays, which raised its price target significantly, suggesting potential for price appreciation.
The current stock price of Citigroup Inc. is approximately $81.10, which is seen as a favorable entry point given the recent analyst upgrades and positive market sentiment.
Insider trading activity shows that key executives are actively managing their positions, which can be a sign of confidence in the company's future. For instance, the chief operating officer recently sold shares but still retains a significant ownership stake.
Citigroup Inc. operates through five diverse segments, which helps mitigate risks associated with economic fluctuations. This diversification allows the company to cater to various market needs, enhancing its stability.
With an average target price of $83.23 from analysts, there is potential for capital gains as the stock approaches this target, making it an attractive investment opportunity.

Citigroup
Bear Case

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

Recent insider sales, including significant transactions by the chief operating officer and another insider, may raise concerns about the company's short-term outlook and could indicate a lack of confidence in immediate performance.
Despite positive ratings, some analysts have lowered their price targets, which could signal potential volatility and uncertainty in the stock's performance moving forward.
Corporate insiders own only 0.08% of the company's stock, which may suggest a lack of alignment between management and shareholders, potentially impacting decision-making and company direction.
The financial services sector is highly competitive, and Citigroup Inc. faces challenges from both traditional banks and fintech companies, which could affect its market share and profitability.
Market conditions can be unpredictable, and any economic downturn could adversely impact Citigroup Inc.'s performance, making it a riskier investment in uncertain times.
