On Thursday, January 16th, the stock price of Citigroup, the third largest bank in the United States, fell by 3.87%. And yet, the bank had just announced profits of 13.9 billion dollars for 2013, representing an 84% growth. Its Chief Financial Officer even celebrated the “most profitable year since 2006.”
Very nice, but … the financiers were hoping for even more, and their disappointment registered in a drop in the share price.
It’s not easy to satisfy Wall Street and the sharks of finance!
