Citigroup drops in pre-market in spite of beat in trading revenue

2:22 PM 13 January 2023

Citigroup (C.US) reported Q4 2022 and full-2022 earnings today ahead of the Wall Street session open. Results turned out to be mixed. Revenue came out to be slightly better-than-expected while earnings missed. Bank reports a solid beat in fixed income trading revenue. Full-year fixed income revenue increased 13% YoY. Situation did not look so rosy in the case of equity trading as Q4 2022 revenue dropped 14% YoY and full-year revenue dropped 9% YoY. Nevertheless, Citigroup said that it is on track to meet its medium-term return targets. However, investors do not seem to be convinced as Citigroup's shares trade almost 3% lower in premarket. 

Q4 2022 results

  • Revenue: $18.0 billion vs $17.96 billion expected (+6% YoY)

  • Net income: $2.5 billion (-21% YoY)

  • EPS: $1.16 vs $1.21 expected

  • Fixed income trading revenue: $3.16 billion vs $2.81 billion expected (+31% YoY)

Citigroup stock (C.US) is currently trading around 3% lower in pre-market, around $47.80. A short-term price zone ranging around 61.8% retracement of the downward impulse started in early-November 2022 can be found slightly below this price level. A break back below this area would pave the way for a drop towards the next support in line - 50% retracement in the $46.80 area.
