$C Good to see folks are shorting at 200ema with record earning. 😏 no crying in the casino. $SPY $QQQ

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/10/12/tuesdays-big-stock-stories-whats-likely-to-move-the-market.html All four big banks reports are due by 8 a.m. ET, and executives from each of the banks will be addressing those topics and more during earnings calls between 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. ET. $C $GS $JPM $WFC Big banks start reporting live on ‘Squawk Box’ with Becky Quick, Joe Kernen and Andrew Ross Sorkin Citigroup shares are down 6% in three months. Shares are down 11% from the June high. Goldman Sachs is down 15% in the past three months. The stock is off 22% from the July high. JPMorgan is flat in three months. The stock is down 9% from the August high. Wells Fargo is off 4% in three months. The stock is down 15% from the January 2026 high. In an interview on CNBC’s “Fast Money” Monday night, banking analyst Gerard Cassidy at RBC said estimates are too low across the board for the big banks. Bank of America and Morgan Stanley will post earnings on Wednesday.

$C Clearly, the market was positioned to hit this one. Great report, should and will be higher. This thing could potentially double from here over the next 24 months if the Fed remains on hold.

$C Q3 '26 Earnings Results & Recap • Reported GAAP EPS of $2.85 up 27.23% YoY • Reported revenue of $23.84B up 7.94% YoY • Citigroup expects to exceed this year's return target, even as it pulls forward investments toward its 11-13% near-term RoTCE goal and sustainable returns of 14-15%.

Citi cut its price target for Hermès to €1,540 from €1,689 while maintaining a Neutral rating, citing continued weak demand in China and a softer environment in France. Ahead of the luxury group’s third-quarter sales report, Citi lowered its constant-currency growth estimate for leather goods in the second half by 0.5 percentage point, but still expects double-digit growth of 10% in the third quarter and 11% in the fourth, supported by volume growth of about 6%. Growth in non-leather goods was reduced to 3% from 4% for the second half, reflecting greater weakness in aspirational categories during the summer. Citi also cut its group sales forecasts for 2026, 2027 and 2028 by about 0.5%. It now expects 2026 constant-currency sales growth of 6.4%, down from 6.8%, after Hermès grew 6.1% in the first half. With gross-margin and operating-cost assumptions largely unchanged, Citi reduced its operating-profit and EPS estimates for the three years by about 1%. $C

$C Price: $123.93 Volume: Average or below Catalyst: Ongoing optimism around Citi's multi-year restructuring and cost-cutting plan ahead of next earnings report. Resistance: $127.50 Support: $120.00 Bull case: A move through $127.50 on rising volume could open the door toward new 52-week highs. Bear case: Rejection here with light volume risks a drift back down to retest the $120 support zone. What I'm watching: Need to see volume expand on any breakout attempt to confirm real conviction, not just drift.

Citigroup is preparing to fully separate its Mexican consumer banking unit, Grupo Financiero Banamex, ahead of an IPO expected in early 2027. According to Bloomberg, Banamex's new leadership is pitching Wall Street investors on a turnaround strategy centered on more aggressive lending to recover market share lost under Citigroup's ownership. Fernando Chico Pardo acquired a 25% stake in late 2025, while Citigroup subsequently sold additional shares to investors including General Atlantic and Blackstone-managed funds. Citigroup has assembled a major underwriting syndicate involving Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Santander and UBS. The IPO is expected to raise more than $3 billion, although the final pricing and share volume remain undecided. The listing could be a landmark transaction for Mexico's equity market, which has suffered a prolonged drought in new offerings, while expanding investors' access to domestic banking. $C

$C is kept down by two huge put blocks at 120, this week (almost 30k) and next week 10.6k. Other than these will go up

$C Jane will be able to retire shares at or below book.. It doesnt actually get sweeter, especially when you have the type of earnings Revenue growth they just announced.

$C Hit resistance at the 10 week, 30 week and 50 day SMA. IMO volumes will be light because of CPI on tap tomorrow. Big banks are more exposed to inflation. Great quarter and I was interested in buying it, but I don't like buying stocks below their 30 week unless there is an overwhelming justification. Not holding Bullish

$C Saw some unusual flow yesterday and bounced nicely off of the 200dma 10/16 $123 Calls saw $1.19 Million in calls 10/30 $125 Calls saw $151K in Calls (both confirmed by open interest!) Could see a move to $130 today or Monday, with support sitting at $125 (basically 200dma)

Top 5 swing setups from options flow $C — Probably the cleanest near-term setup. Near-ATM call buying, good timing and bullish confirmation across the banks ahead of earnings. $BHP — 3 calls bought, near ATM, solid premium and very little opposing flow. One of the cleanest standalone structures on the tape. $LITE — Huge call-buying concentration with strong 7-day confirmation. Stock already moved hard, so I’d be more selective with entry, but the flow is difficult to ignore. $CCL — Clean ATM December call buying and positive recent flow. Looks more like post-earnings continuation than a fresh event bet. $IOT — $1M+ call buy, only ~5% OTM with enough time to work. Smaller signal than the names above, but structurally very clean.

$C Oddly, and it feels weird saying this, Citi, of all the banks is best positioned to outperform in this environment. They have the cash to really go after the A-level debt. The market's impulse to put Citi on the short side of the contra trade is flat out wrong. This is an excellent opportunity to put that cash to work, lend at higher rates out 5 years and really clean up when the fed the ultimately cuts rates. Get that ROE ROE above 15. Plus, I'm sure they're having a record quarter on the FICC desk.

$C is partnering with $COIN to integrate stablecoin payments into the traditional banking system for institutional clients. This is a significant development for both institutional adoption and blockchain infrastructure.

$C A short queeze soon, no hopes to go under 120. If you have puts, now it is time to sell them

$C three day rule, we will get a bounce to test 200ma at 125. Hopped in calls this morning $CSCO pretty much a penny stock at this moment, looking for 110-111 bounce today. $SPY $QQQ

$C Citi once again trading right on this long-term trendline following the earnings dip. Should see a reversal soon. They did double beat...
