Citigroup Q2 Banking Revenue Surges 34% to $1.92B
C sits 64% above its 52-week low of $85.615.
Summary
Citigroup's banking division posted $1.92B in Q2 revenue, a 34% jump from the prior year, with investment banking revenue reaching $1.55B, up 44%. The bank's overall profit surged 45% in the second quarter of 2026. This follows CFO guidance in June for strong trading momentum and aligns with the bank's strategic pivot toward higher-return businesses. The number suggests dealmaking and lending activity accelerated meaningfully, reinforcing the narrative of a turnaround under CEO Jane Fraser. With the stock near $140 and a $241B market cap, sustained revenue growth could support further capital return after the recent dividend hike and $30B buyback authorization.
At the time of this announcement, C was trading at $140.00 on NYSE in the Finance sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $241.3B. The 52-week trading range was $85.62 to $147.96.
