<h3>Citigroup: Delving into Financials</h3>
Market Capitalization Analysis: With a profound presence, the company's market capitalization is above industry averages. This reflects substantial size and strong market recognition.
Revenue Growth: Citigroup displayed positive results in 3M. As of 31 March, 2025, the company achieved a solid revenue growth rate of approximately 2.83%. This indicates a notable increase in the company's top-line earnings. When compared to others in the Financials sector, the company faces challenges, achieving a growth rate lower than the average among peers.

<h2>Analyst Ratings: What Are They?</h2>
Analysts work in banking and financial systems and typically specialize in reporting for stocks or defined sectors. Analysts may attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish "analyst ratings" for stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter.
Beyond their standard evaluations, some analysts contribute predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, furnishing investors with additional guidance. Users of analyst ratings should be mindful that this specialized advice is shaped by human perspectives and may be subject to variability.

Price Target

Goldman Sachs Maintains Buy on Citigroup, Raises Price Target to $85

Citigroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) announced Monday that it will offer employees in eligible roles the option to work fully remote for two weeks in August.
What Happened: Chief Human Resources Officer Sara Wechter issued a memo, shared <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/citi-remote-work-two-weeks-august-hybrid-roles-jane-fraser-2025-6">by</a> Business Insider, explaining why the company chose August for this policy: "We&#8217;ve selected August because it is traditionally a quieter time for some of our businesses and clients, when many are already out of the office due to vacations."
The memo also highlighted its success with a hybrid model, introduced during the pandemic: "In particular, our hybrid work model helps us attract and retain top talent and sets us apart from other companies in our industry — and we remain committed to this model."

Why It Matters: Citigroup's approach is in contrast with the policies adopted by other major organizations.
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45483367/jamie-dimon-says-dont-tell-jpmorgan-what-to-do-as-he-tells-remote-workers-you-cant-learn-working-fro">repeatedly criticized the model</a>, arguing that young workers, especially, benefit immensely from on-site work. &#8220;I think our employees will be happier over time. And the younger people will learn the right way, it's an apprenticeship system. And you can't learn working from your basement,&#8221; Dimon said.
In April, reports emerged alleging Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44971069/google-to-remote-workers-return-to-office-3-days-a-week-or-take-a-buyout-report">directing certain remote employees to switch to a hybrid work schedule</a> or take a voluntary exit package, as part of its wider push to reduce costs.
Last year, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40382271/google-co-founder-eric-schmidt-blames-work-from-home-flexible-hours-for-falling-behind-openai-pr">cited work-from-home</a> and flexible hours policies as the reasons why the company is lagging behind OpenAI in terms of AI innovation.
Tesla Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO, Elon Musk,<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43306967/elon-musk-slams-work-from-home-as-messed-up-and-morally-wrong-meanwhile-remote-workers-quietly-sneak-in-three-day-weekends-every-week"> once called remote work &#8220;morally wrong,&#8221;</a> and accused &#8220;the laptop class" of "living in la-la land.&#8221; 
While Citigroup made headlines this week for going against the tide, it was also in the news last week for reportedly planning to slash <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/25/06/45791216/citi-to-cut-3500-tech-jobs-in-china-in-global-restructuring-spree">3,500 technology roles</a> in China's Citi Solution Centers in Shanghai and Dalian.

Citigroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>) is looking to downsize 3,500 technology positions in China&#8217;s Citi Solution Centers in Shanghai and Dalian.
The company will likely complete the workforce reduction by the start of the fourth quarter of 2025, CNBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/06/05/citi-plans-to-cut-3500-tech-roles-in-china-as-global-banks-cut-costs.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> on Thursday, citing a bank statement.
The downsizing mainly affected the information technology services unit and operational services for Citi&#8217;s global business.

Citigroup&nbsp;plans to migrate some roles to Citi&#8217;s technology centers elsewhere.
Citigroup will have around 2,000 staff in China after the tech job cuts, including a few hundred at the tech unit, Reuters reported on Thursday, citing unnamed sources&nbsp;familiar&nbsp;with the matter.
Citigroup had shared plans in May to cut close to 200 information technology contractor roles in China.
Citigroup shared internal plans in March to dramatically reduce reliance on information technology contractors and hire thousands of IT employees, following regulatory penalties over data governance and inadequate controls.
The bank has scaled back in the United States, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Poland as part of its workforce reduction drive under the global restructuring plan.
In January 2024, Citigroup&nbsp;shared <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36623007/citigroup-to-cut-20-000-jobs-in-major-strategic-overhaul-cites-disappointing-q4" rel="noreferrer noopener">plans to eliminate</a> 20,000 jobs as part of a restructuring to save $2.5 billion. The restructuring announcement followed a challenging quarter for Citigroup, particularly in its fixed-income trading sector.
The restructuring and job cuts will likely reduce Citigroup&#8217;s overall headcount by 60,000, bringing it down to 180,000 by the end of 2026. This includes the departure of 40,000 employees following the IPO of its consumer banking businesses in Mexico.
The global macroeconomic uncertainty and the Trump administration&#8217;s tariff policies prompted banks to cut costs.
Meng Shen of Beijing&#8217;s Chanson &amp; Co told CNBC he expects foreign banks, including Citi, to continue scaling back business in China as the country&#8217;s soft growth prospects have affected banking business opportunities.
Shen said Beijing&#8217;s tightened regulatory oversight of the financial services industry will likely create additional uncertainty for Western banks.
Citi&#8217;s Luet, however, reaffirmed its plans to CNBC to establish wholly owned securities and futures companies in China.
Citigroup&nbsp;had reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/04/44850971/citigroup-price-target-trimmed-as-analysts-fear-increased-macro-environment-associated-uncertainty" rel="noreferrer noopener">first-quarter fiscal 2025</a> revenue growth of 3% to $21.6 billion, beating the analyst consensus of $21.29 billion. The firm&nbsp;reported earnings per share of $1.96, increased from $1.58 a year ago, beating the consensus of $1.84.
Price Action: C stock closed lower by 0.17% at $76.40 on Wednesday.

The restriction, imposed following a series of scandals tied to improper customer practices, had capped the bank's total assets at $1.95 trillion. 
While other parts of the order remain in place, lifting this specific cap eliminates a major constraint on growth.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs: Up To 19% EPS Upside Now Possible</h3>
In a note shared on Wednesday, the bank&#8217;s analyst Richard Ramsden said that the asset cap was &#8220;the key limiting factor on WFC&#8217;s ability to grow,&#8221; and its removal could unleash &#8220;a number of idiosyncratic earnings drivers.&#8221;
Goldman updated its earnings outlook for Wells Fargo, estimating a 14–19% boost to earnings per share over time. 
That's roughly equivalent to a 200 to 280 basis point uplift in return on tangible common equity (ROTCE), potentially pushing the 2026 ROTCE range to 16.5%–17.3%.
That's a meaningful jump from the firm's previous estimate and reflects multiple drivers:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>New balance sheet capacity: Goldman also sees upside from issuing preferred equity and reinvesting proceeds across low-risk-weight businesses like securities and repo markets. This could generate ROTCEs between 11% and 15% on its own.</li>
<li>Deposits comeback: Ramsden said Wells Fargo could now work to regain deposit market share lost during its regulatory freeze. This would free up new capital to expand its loan book and securities portfolio.</li>
<li>Legal and regulatory savings: With regulatory scrutiny easing, Wells Fargo can reduce legal and compliance costs, unlocking additional efficiencies.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bank Of America Sees Capital Gains And Business Expansion</h3>
&#8220;Removal of the asset-cap is a positive catalyst, both fundamentally and for stock valuation,&#8221; said Bank of America&#8217;s analyst Ebrahim Poonawala in a note to clients.
Poonawala raised his price target from $83 to $90, assigning higher valuation multiples based on improved clarity on growth prospects.
"Management bandwidth is increasingly refocused on franchise efficiency… after several years during which addressing regulatory concerns likely consumed 50%+ of management's attention," Poonawala said, citing a November 2024 meeting with CEO Charlie Scharf.
Poonawala indicated Wells Fargo is poised to grow earnings meaningfully through its corporate and investment banking arm, especially after the firm invested heavily in hiring experienced bankers like Doug Braunstein and Fernando Rivas. 
He forecasts that all four of Wells Fargo's core business segments could deliver best-in-class returns, with a 16%–19% ROTCE potential.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reaction</h3>
Investors welcomed the news. Shares of Wells Fargo rose 3.1% during early trading on Wednesday, hitting their highest level since early March.
The stock is up nearly 8% year-to-date, underperforming large bank peers such as JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) and Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>). 
Compared to the broader financial sector, as tracked by the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>), Wells Fargo outperformed by about 2 percentage points year-to-date.

Wells Fargo Freed From Fed Asset Cap: Goldman, BofA Predict Double-Digit Earnings Surge Ahead

Spotify Technology S.A. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) shares opened at a record $675 on Tuesday in New York, lifted by a bullish industry forecast from Goldman Sachs that sees the global music market nearly doubling in size <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color">over the next decade. </a>
In its annual Music in the Air report, published Tuesday and led by analyst Lisa Yang, Goldman revised its compound annual growth rate (CAGR) forecast for the music industry to 6.8% for 2025-2030, down from 7.5% previously. The report also introduced a 2031-2035 forecast of 4.8% CAGR. 
Still, that implies the global music market will expand from $105 billion in 2024 to nearly $197 billion in 2035.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Emerging Markets Will Drive Next Leg Of Music Streaming Growth</h3>
Goldman forecasts global paid subscribers will climb from 752 million in 2024 to 1.51 billion by 2035, with 75% of that growth coming from emerging markets—up from 57% today.
Spotify, which captured a 35% share of the global paid music streaming market in 2024 with 263 million subscribers, remains the dominant player along with Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) YouTube and Tencent Music Entertainment Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TME#NYSE">TME</a>), particularly due to their bundling strategies and localized offerings in growth markets.
Goldman said Spotify gained 30 basis points in market share last year, following a 70 basis point increase in 2023.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Monetizing The Fan Experience: Super-Premium Tiers And Concerts</h3>
Goldman highlighted new monetization strategies including price increases, superfan-targeted products, and the growing integration of live events and digital platforms. 
One key innovation: concert ticketing through streaming platforms.
&#8220;As Generation Y and Z fans engage more with their favorite artists, we also see opportunity for live music ticketing to benefit from increased integration with streaming services,&#8221; the report said.
Spotify's upcoming Super Premium tier is expected to include exclusive concert ticket pre-sale access, mimicking models like Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>)&#8217;s pre-sale partnership with Beyoncé.
Goldman said these deals could generate over $100 million globally at scale, as streaming platforms leverage listener data to offer high-value fan access while ticketing companies gain new monetization pathways.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Product Innovation And Pricing Power Are Key</h3>
Spotify has recently implemented strategic price hikes to support its evolving product model.
In May and July 2024, the company raised prices across several major markets, including the U.S., UK, and Australia. Yet, the increases primarily reflected added audiobook content rather than improved music margins.
Looking ahead, the Financial Times reported in April 2025 that Spotify will raise music-only plan prices by €1 across Europe and Latin America in early June. This would mark nearly two years since its last hike targeting the core music plan.
Goldman said that execution, scale and pricing power will determine future winners in a slower-growth music landscape. 
Among digital streaming platforms, Goldman reiterated Buy ratings on Spotify Technology S.A., Alphabet Inc., Tencent Music Entertainment Group, NetEase Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTES#NASDAQ">NTES</a>), Sony Group Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONY#NYSE">SONY</a>), Live Nation Entertainment Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYV#NYSE">LYV</a>), SM Entertainment Co. Ltd. and JYP Entertainment Corp.
The firm remains Neutral on Warner Music Group Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMG#NASDAQ">WMG</a>), Hybe Co. Ltd. and Sirius XM Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SIRI#NASDAQ">SIRI</a>).

Spotify Stock Smashes Records: Goldman Sees $200 Billion Music Streaming Market By 2035

As Donald Trump&#8216;s administration nears completion of a proposal to ease big bank rules, Wall Street&#8217;s megabanks are largely expected to cheer the lower supplementary leverage ratio (SLR), allowing them to hold fewer capital reserves against their assets.
What Happened: Analysts largely agree that the Trump administration's push to ease big bank rules, particularly the SLR, is a boon for banks and could stimulate broader economic growth.
Gennadiy Goldberg, the head of U.S. rates strategy at TD Securities, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/05/31/trump-administration-prepares-to-ease-big-bank-rules-00377347">told </a>Politico that easing capital rules for the banks will free the capital to buy more U.S. Treasuries
However, Phillip Basil, Better Markets&#8217; director of economic growth and financial stability, told Politico that lowering big banks&#8217; capital requirements heightens financial stability risks, accusing the banking industry of exploiting recent Treasury market turmoil as a pretext to push for long-sought regulatory relief.
Meanwhile, Kepp Loeffler, the administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration, said that Small businesses &#8220;can win with a level playing field – ESPECIALLY combined with tax cuts and deregulation.&#8221;

Trump Administration Set To Ease Big Bank Rules In Major Rollback Since 2008 Crisis: Here Are The Stocks And ETFs Investors Could Consider

Payments startup Airwallex<a href="https://www.airwallex.com/newsroom/airwallex-raises-usd300-million-at-a-usd6-2-billion-valuation-to-build-the-future-of-global-banking"> announced</a> Wednesday that it secured a new $300 million funding round, pushing its valuation to $6.2 billion.
Founded in 2015, Airwallex has grown into a global player by helping businesses send, receive, and manage international payments at scale, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/finance/fintech-airwallex-valued-over-6-billion-latest-funding-round-2025-05-21/">Reuters</a> reports. With a network spanning more than 150 countries, the company now reports over $1.2 billion in total funding, with investors of the latest round including major names like DST Global, Square Peg, Lone Pine Capital, and Blackbird.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strategic Growth Amid Industry Slowdown</h2>
While fintech startups exploded in valuation post-pandemic, many are now facing investor fatigue. According to Reuters, persistently high interest rates, recession concerns, and geopolitical volatility have forced many firms to delay fundraising or accept lower terms.
Airwallex has bucked that trend since its 11% increase in valuation from the previous round in 2022 is a signal of both operational strength and investor confidence. The company now counts industry giants like Shein, Qantas, and Xero among its client base, Reuters says.
CEO Jack Zhang told Reuters that more than 70% of the company's net revenue now comes from online payment processing and spend management, rather than just cross-border infrastructure.
The diversification strategy appears to be paying off. Zhang emphasized in the company&#8217;s announcement that Airwallex is no longer just a cross-border payments solution, but a broader financial operating system for modern businesses.
Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/boxabl-scaling-fast-from-spacex-orders-to-600-homes-built-this-60k-foldable-home-may-be-the-future-of-housing">this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.</a>
&#8220;The global financial system wasn't built for today's borderless economy,&#8221; Zhang said. &#8220;Too many businesses are held back by legacy infrastructure that's slow, costly, and fragmented. At Airwallex, we're building a new foundation for the global economy – one that's fast, seamless, and built for scale. This investment marks a major milestone in our journey to redefine global banking, and to empower businesses everywhere to grow without limits.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Expanding Global Footprint With U.S. And Asia Focus</h2>
Airwallex is also doubling down on global expansion. The company said it opened its U.S. headquarters in San Francisco last year and recently opened new offices in New York, Toronto, and Paris. According to Reuters, the startup is joining other payment providers competing with major players like JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Bank of America (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), and Citigroup (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>).
In addition to its growing presence in North America, Airwallex is targeting Japan, South Korea, and Latin America as core areas for future growth. With a global headquarters now based in Singapore, the company is positioning itself as a truly borderless platform for modern business finance, Reuters says.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Riding A New Wave Of Fintech Infrastructure</h2>
Airwallex said it developed a proprietary global infrastructure designed to modernize how businesses move money across borders. By building direct connections to local clearing systems and card networks, the company has created a faster, more efficient alternative to traditional banking rails. Most of the company&#8217;s transactions are completed within hours, with a majority processed instantly.
With tools that span global business accounts, FX, spend management, and embedded finance APIs, Airwallex is positioning itself as the operating system for modern businesses. With the new funding, Airwallex said in its funding announcement that it is now preparing for its next phase: deeper integration, bigger partnerships, and an even broader global footprint.&nbsp;

Airwallex Raises $300M As It Expands In U.S. And Latin America, Now Valued At $6.2B With Clients Like Shein And Xero

Top U.S. banks are contemplating a joint venture to issue a dollar-pegged stablecoin in an attempt to counter the increasing competition from the cryptocurrency sector, according to a report dated Thursday.
What Happened: Companies co-owned by&nbsp;JPMorgan Chase&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>),&nbsp;Bank of America&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>),&nbsp;Citigroup&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), and&nbsp;Wells Fargo&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>) are exploring the possibility of a joint stablecoin, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources familiar with the matter. The discussions, still in their infancy, involve Early Warning Services, the operator of&nbsp;mobile payment app Zelle, and the Clearing House,&nbsp;a real-time payment network.
The decision to proceed with the stablecoin will hinge on several factors, including&nbsp;legislative actions around stablecoins and&nbsp;the demand for them. The banking industry has been gearing up for the potential widespread adoption of stablecoins, which could divert&nbsp;the deposits and transactions they&nbsp;handle.
A Bank of America spokesperson declined to comment when contacted by Benzinga. Responses from other banks are awaited.

Why It Matters: The potential joint venture by these banking giants comes at a time when the Senate is making strides towards the final passage of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/05/45510057/senate-crypto-bill-passes-key-vote-genius-act-moves-toward-final-passage">GENIUS Act, also known as the stablecoin bill</a>. The proposed legislation aims to establish the first U.S. regulatory framework for issuers of stablecoins—digital tokens that are tied to fiat currencies like the dollar.
The SEC has already clarified that <a href="https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/speeches-statements/statement-stablecoins-040425#_ftn4">certain stablecoins</a>, particularly those pegged to the U.S. dollar and backed by low-risk, liquid assets, are not securities.
