CNBC's Leslie Picker reports on the latest bank earnings to cross the tape.
The results come after a first half where Citigroup's stock outperformed the broader market and several of its universal bank peers.
If there's a beaten-down “non-correlated” (or uncorrelated) asset class to the S&P 500's bull market, it's the Russell 2000 Value segment, and the biggest concentration within that asset class is financials. Citigroup reports on July 15th before the opening bell, and analyst consensus coming into the Q2 earnings release is expecting $1.60 in EPS on $20.98 billion in revenue, for expected year-over-year growth of 5% and 4% respectively. JPM trades at 15x-16x earnings for expected high-single digit EPS growth over the next 3 years, while it likely can still generate high-teens, low-20% ROTCE or ROE.

The small-cap index has outgained the field of the past month or so.
C is set to invest $16.1 million and add 510 jobs in Charlotte as it plans to build a major new office to deepen client ties.
I maintain a hold rating on Citigroup heading into Q2 earnings. While the Banamex divestiture could unlock value, Citi's overall profitability and return metrics remain lackluster compared to other big banks. Citigroup is no longer a deep value play. Its price-to-book discount has narrowed, making further upside dependent on operational improvements.
As earnings season kicks off for US banks, UBS analysts believe investors should look beyond the headline results for the second quarter and instead concentrate on the back half of the year. “Outlook matters more than results,” the analysts wrote in a note, noting that no major fireworks are expected.
Does C's dividend hike plan, post-clearing fed stress test, decent liquidity, and organizational overhaul make it worth considering now? Read on to know.
