Citigroup is in the middle of a strategic repositioning, making major moves such as spinning off its consumer business in Mexico and reinvesting in commercial banking and wealth. Citigroup may finally emerge as a structurally improved franchise.
Simplifying the business and selling off noncore units should help Citigroup free up extra capital and derisk the business, which should lead to an opportunity for share repurchases and a lower required discount rate.
Citigroup's stock is not expensive, trading at far less than tangible book value. This is not a high hurdle to clear.
