Citi price target raised to $110 from $105 at TD Cowen on strong 3Q results

Investing.com - TD Cowen has raised its price target on Citi (NYSE:C) stock to $110.00 from $105.00 while maintaining a Hold rating following the bank’s third-quarter earnings report. The new target sits within the broader analyst range of $82-$134, with InvestingPro analysis suggesting the stock is currently undervalued.

The bank posted better-than-expected core earnings per share in the third quarter of 2025, driven by stronger-than-anticipated top-line performance. This strong showing led Citi to revise its full-year 2025 outlook higher. The stock has responded positively to improving fundamentals, delivering a remarkable 57% return over the past six months. InvestingPro data reveals 5 analysts have recently revised their earnings expectations upward, suggesting growing confidence in Citi’s trajectory.

TD Cowen highlighted that the banking and markets segments were particularly noteworthy, as they generated the majority of fee growth during the quarter.

The research firm noted that Citi provided additional details about its plans in real-time payments, including enhancements to Citi Token Services. However, TD Cowen expressed skepticism about this area of Citi’s business.

Despite the price target increase, TD Cowen maintained its Hold rating on Citi stock, suggesting a neutral stance on the bank’s overall investment potential.

In other recent news, Citigroup Inc. reported its third-quarter 2025 earnings, exceeding analysts’ expectations with an adjusted earnings per share of $2.24, surpassing the forecast of $1.75 by 28%.

BofA Securities responded to Citigroup’s strong performance by raising its price target for the company to $120 from $115, maintaining a Buy rating. The bank’s robust earnings were attributed to a 4-5% increase in revenue and a slight decrease in expenses by 0.2-2%.

Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley also adjusted its outlook for Citigroup , raising its price target from $129 to $134 and maintaining an Overweight rating. This adjustment is based on applying an 11x earnings multiple to Morgan Stanley’s 2027 EPS estimate of $12.18. Both firms highlighted Citigroup’s impressive quarterly performance as a key factor in their revised assessments. These developments reflect a positive sentiment from analysts regarding Citigroup’s financial health and future prospects.
