Citigroup rides IB and wealth gains to a Q4 beat, sets 2026 NII targets

TL;DR Summary
Citigroup beat Q4 expectations with adjusted EPS of $1.81 on revenue of $19.9B, led by strength in investment banking and wealth management, while a Russia exit-related charge and softer markets limited GAAP results. The bank sees 2026 net interest income ex-markets rising about 5-6% from 2025 (~$49.8B to ~$52.3B-$52.8B) and targets a 60% efficiency ratio, down from 65% in 2025. End-of-period loans rose to $752B and deposits to $1.40T.
