- The 52-week market range is $51 to $74.
- 20 analyst target is $84.49.
Technical Analysis Perspective:
- Citigroup has been trading inside a large symmetrical triangle since January 2020 on weekly and monthly charts.
- The triangle has a bullish as well as bearish tendency depending on the breakout.
- C closed last Friday at $71.40, which is the highest weekly closing since October 18, 2021.
- It looks like any positive earnings with good guidance can break the triangle to the upside, targeting $78/80 post earnings.
- A rejection of $74/75 would pave the way for a sharp decline to $67/65.
- A higher number of analysts are bullish about Citigroup.
- If prices manage to trade above 80 then there is a lot of room to the upside in the long term.
- Wells Fargo analysts wrote on Jan 3 that Citi stock could double in value in the next three years as profits surge, expenses moderate, and reorganization improves management accountability.
