Citizens Financial Group: Much Better Options Out There
Summary Citizens Financial Group's Q4 results show mixed performance, with declines in deposits and loans but slight improvements in net income and EPS. Despite tightening lending standards, key metrics like asset quality and net loan charge-offs have not significantly improved, justifying a hold rating. Return on average assets and equity saw slight improvements, but overall metrics still trend negatively, making Citizens less attractive compared to higher-yielding banks. Sector strength supports a neutral stance, but better investment opportunities exist in banks with stronger growth and yield profiles. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Dec 30
Citizens Financial: A Pivotal Year On Tap, Shares Fairly Priced, A Mixed Chart
Summary I am downgrading Citizens Financial Group (CFG) to a hold due to fair valuation and mixed technicals despite a 64% gain since April 2023. Key January catalysts include the December payrolls report, bank earnings, and a Fed meeting, with CFG's Q4 earnings report on January 17 being crucial. CFG's Q3 results were mixed, with a revenue miss and slight NIM decline, but Q4 projections show potential NII and non-interest income growth. Risks include higher loan losses, economic softness, and regulatory changes, while CFG's valuation is near fair value with mixed technical indicators.

Citizens Financial: After An In-Line Q3, Shares Appear Fairly Valued
Summary Citizens Financial Group, Inc. reported Q3 earnings in line with expectations, with shares flat after a 60% gain over the past year. Net interest income and margin declined due to fixed-rate swaps and rising deposit costs, but the private bank showed strong growth. Credit quality is a concern with reduced reserves and increased non-accrual loans, though capital levels remain healthy with a 3.9% dividend yield. I maintain a “hold” rating, expecting modest NII growth in Q4, but see more upside in other names like KEY. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaShareholder Returns
