Why Citigroup Inc. (C) Stock Fell 5.6% on Oct 13, 2026
What happened
Citigroup reported better-than-expected Q3 2026 earnings (adjusted EPS of $2.85 vs. $2.65–$2.66 consensus; revenue $23.85B, +8% YoY) before the open, but shares fell 3.75% to $126.97 by mid-session (Business Wire). The decline was driven by caution over reliance on cyclical FICC trading revenue ($4.4B) and Citigroup's own morning downgrade of U.S. equities from overweight due to market exuberance and historical peak valuations, adding a risk-off tone despite the earnings beat. Volume running 1.96x normal for this time of session.
