Citi to Redeem $1.5B Preferred, Launches $60B Housing Plan
C sits 50% above its 52-week low of $87.94.
Summary
Citigroup is redeeming all $1.5 billion of its Series T preferred stock at $1,000 per depositary share, with the redemption date set for August 15, 2026. This follows the bank's strong Q2 results and ongoing capital optimization. Separately, the bank launched a five-year, $60 billion affordable housing finance initiative, including $50 million in grants and policy support for LIHTC expansion. The preferred redemption is a routine capital management move, while the housing plan signals a long-term commitment to community lending. Neither action is likely to move the stock significantly, but both reflect the bank's solid capital position and strategic priorities.
