Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 79% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 4, 2025
Citigroup is showing steady buying interest and the recent average price is edging up, with lots more people trading than usual. Two helpful news items: it will move about $80B of wealth assets to BlackRock and use its Aladdin system, and a major antitrust case was thrown out, easing worries. Results are still mixed, so position size should be modest. If the economy and loans stay stable, the price could recover over the next 3 months.
Primary drivers
- Partnering with BlackRock could expand wealth services and tech access
- Big legal case dismissed, removing a major worry for investors
- Stronger buying interest lately, with trading heavier than usual
- Stable economy and credit trends would support bank profits
How it played out
C: thesis partly played out but target was missed
Lyra published C on 2025-09-04 at 95.67 with expected growth of 15%. The thesis pointed to steady buying interest, heavier trading than usual, a BlackRock partnership involving about $80B of wealth assets, a dismissed antitrust case, and stable economy and credit trends as support for bank profits.
Inside the window, C rose but did not reach the 109.37 target. Its peak was 106.99 on 2025-12-03, with a peak gain of 11.8%. It ended at 106.72. The thesis partly played out because the stock moved higher, but the published target was missed. It never got there.
What happened during the window
