What happened
Reached its target in 87 days.
The thesis — published September 28, 2025
Citigroup offers both rising share price and steady income. The stock climbed about 72% over the last year, and it has paid dividends for 34 years, which helps total returns. Recently, lots more people are buying than usual, and the price sits above its recent average price. But the business is still catching up, so buying on small dips makes sense. With rates easing, a 3-month push toward recent highs seems achievable.
Primary drivers
- Shares have been climbing, and investors feel positive about the stock
- Pays dividends for 34 years, adding steady income to total returns
