Is the current rise in Citigroup’s stock sustainable?
- Citigroup shares have risen over 30% in the past three months
- The bank’s stock has outperformed its peers in the past
- Investors should be cautious due to previous false dawns
Citigroup’s stock has been on the rise, outperforming its peers in the past three months with a more than 30% increase. However, investors should exercise caution as the bank’s stock has previously experienced false dawns. In 2019, Citigroup’s shares saw a significant rise, outperforming JPMorgan Chase by over 50%. To avoid another false dawn, Citigroup needs to carefully navigate the coming reports and ensure sustainable growth.
