Citigroup Rises 29.3% in 6 Months Amid Overhaul Plan Progress

Citigroup's shares have risen 29.3% in the past six months, outperforming the industry's growth. The company's overhaul plan and impressive earnings beat have led to upward estimate revisions for 2026 and 2027. Citigroup is expected to post 40.5% year-over-year earnings growth this year, followed by a 15.6% rise in 2027. The sale of non-core international consumer banking businesses is expected to free up $5 billion in capital and support the path toward higher sustainable earnings.
