Citigroup Screens 32.1% Undervalued at $135 as AI Banking Hopes Support Earnings

1 articles · Updated · Yahoo Finance · Aug 8

Summary

  • $198.94 per share is Citigroup’s implied intrinsic value under an Excess Returns model, versus a current market price of $135.00, leaving the stock about 32.1% undervalued.
  • The model uses book value of $114.74 per share, stable EPS of $13.31 and a cost of equity of $10.23, producing excess returns of $3.08 per share and average ROE of 10.44%.
  • Citigroup has already returned 232.0% over the past three years, so the key question is whether further upside remains after a major rerating.
  • AI-related capital markets activity and trade digitization could lift earnings expectations, though leveraged ETF hedging exposure, exotic crash puts and broader policy uncertainty still cloud the risk outlook.
