In the said letter, Generation PMCA highlighted a few stocks and Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) is one of them. Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) is an investment banking company. Year-to-date, Citigroup Inc (NYSE:C) stock lost 35.4% and on November 20th it had a closing price of $51.65. Here is what Generation PMCA said:
“Citigroup’s operations span more than 160 countries. Faced with record low interest rates, rising loss provisions, and subdued lending, the financial sector has been one of the worst performing groups year-to-date. However, earnings appear to have stabilized for the major banks. The company had its own internal issues too, having to pay significant fines for regulatory deficiencies. They are spending over $1 billion on compliance matters. With these issues being addressed and the company’s dominant network intact, it is well positioned to benefit from a global economic recovery. We have assumed a gradual recovery of earnings to former highs over the next few years. Return on tangible common equity should exceed 10% by 22, implying earnings per share above $8. While shares have risen recently, they still trade at only 6x our 2-year-out earnings estimate and yield just under 4%.”
