Citigroup Inc. (ISIN US1729674242) traded at USD 131.06 on the NYSE on September 22, 2026, down USD 3.99 or 2.96 percent from the previous close. The next major checkpoint is third-quarter reporting, scheduled for October 13, 2026, according to CWS Market Review.

Second-quarter figures set the benchmark

Citigroup reported USD 3.15 in earnings per share for the quarter reported on July 14, 2026, beating the USD 2.74 consensus estimate by USD 0.41. According to MarketBeat, quarterly revenue reached USD 24.77 billion versus an expected USD 23.74 billion.

The comparison with the prior-year quarter is material: EPS was USD 1.96 in the earlier period, while revenue increased 14.5 percent year over year in the quarter reported on July 14, 2026. The same report listed a 10.23 percent net margin and a 10.15 percent return on equity, giving investors two profitability measures alongside the earnings beat.

Stock remains below its yearly high

The September 22, 2026 quotation stood 11.42 percent below the 52-week high of USD 147.96 and 39.96 percent above the 52-week low of USD 93.66. Market capitalization was listed at USD 223.53 billion, while volume reached 2.22 million shares during the cited market snapshot.

The stock's technical reference points show a split picture. The 50-day moving average was USD 134.25 and the 200-day moving average was USD 129.31 on September 22, 2026, placing the quoted price below the shorter average but above the longer one. That spread makes the October earnings release more important for the next valuation comparison.

October results provide the next test

Citigroup is due to report third-quarter 2026 results on October 13, 2026, alongside several large US banks, according to CWS Market Review. The July result supplies a demanding comparison point: EPS must be measured against USD 3.15 and revenue against USD 24.77 billion before the market can judge whether the 2026 earnings trend is continuing.

Citigroup stock closed at USD 131.06 on the NYSE on September 22, 2026. The dated market value, the 2.96 percent daily decline and the distance from the 52-week high frame the stock ahead of the next reported quarter.
