Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 36% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published December 23, 2025
Citigroup gives you exposure to big-bank stocks. Recent news eased regulatory and legal worries, which removes a cloud over the stock before Jan 14 earnings. The share price has been moving up, but it's a bit stretched short-term, so wait for a pullback or sideways trading before buying more.
Primary drivers
- News reduced legal and regulatory uncertainty, making execution easier
- Upcoming earnings could confirm improved results and lift the stock
- Current upward price trend supports further gains after rest
- A risk-on market mood can push investors into bank stocks
How it played out
C: target was not reached by March 23
Lyra published C on December 23, 2025 at 119.15 with expected growth of 14%. The thesis pointed to reduced legal and regulatory uncertainty, upcoming earnings, an upward price trend after rest, and a risk-on market mood that could support big-bank stocks.
Inside the December 23, 2025 to March 23, 2026 window, C peaked at 125.16 on February 9, a 5% gain. It stayed below the 135.83 target and never reached it. By the end of the window, it was 111.64. The thesis partially played out on the early rise, but it missed the target.
