What matters now

- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

How to read this chart

Analysis
Citigroup Inc (C) currently trades at $133.82, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $108.75, implying the stock looks roughly 18.7% overvalued today. We read business quality at 54/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Citigroup Inc generated revenue of $78.7B at a net margin of 20.4%. Revenue grew 15.9% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 7.7%. Net debt stands at $366B. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $81.56 (bear case) to $135.94 (bull case); at $133.82, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 1% below its 52-week high and 80% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 16% fair-value upside, at -19%, C screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 17 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($167.31) versus Earnings-Based ($46.60). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
