Citigroup fails to meet Street's growth targets (C) By Mike Maynard
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Citigroup Inc. (C) reported second-quarter net income of $5.07 billion, or 97 cents a share, up from $1.14 billion, or 22 cents, earned in the year-ago period. The financial-services giant's quarterly revenue eased 3% to $20.17 billion from $20.89 billion. Income from continuing operations came in at $4.73 billion, or 91 cents a share, for the latest quarter, up from the prior year's $916 million, or 17 cents a share. "The capital markets environment was one of the worst we have seen in years," said CEO Charles Prince. Analysts, on average, had been looking for earnings of $1.02 a share for the latest quarter, on revenue of $21.41 billion. Shares of Citigroup, a Dow Jones Industrial Average component, slipped 8 cents to end at $46.42 on Friday. |
