Citi cut its price target for Hermès to €1,540 from €1,689 while maintaining a Neutral rating, citing continued weak demand in China and a softer environment in France. Ahead of the luxury group’s third-quarter sales report, Citi lowered its constant-currency growth estimate for leather goods in the second half by 0.5 percentage point, but still expects double-digit growth of 10% in the third quarter and 11% in the fourth, supported by volume growth of about 6%. Growth in non-leather goods was reduced to 3% from 4% for the second half, reflecting greater weakness in aspirational categories during the summer. Citi also cut its group sales forecasts for 2026, 2027 and 2028 by about 0.5%. It now expects 2026 constant-currency sales growth of 6.4%, down from 6.8%, after Hermès grew 6.1% in the first half. With gross-margin and operating-cost assumptions largely unchanged, Citi reduced its operating-profit and EPS estimates for the three years by about 1%. $C

Top 5 swing setups from options flow $C — Probably the cleanest near-term setup. Near-ATM call buying, good timing and bullish confirmation across the banks ahead of earnings. $BHP — 3 calls bought, near ATM, solid premium and very little opposing flow. One of the cleanest standalone structures on the tape. $LITE — Huge call-buying concentration with strong 7-day confirmation. Stock already moved hard, so I’d be more selective with entry, but the flow is difficult to ignore. $CCL — Clean ATM December call buying and positive recent flow. Looks more like post-earnings continuation than a fresh event bet. $IOT — $1M+ call buy, only ~5% OTM with enough time to work. Smaller signal than the names above, but structurally very clean.

$C Oddly, and it feels weird saying this, Citi, of all the banks is best positioned to outperform in this environment. They have the cash to really go after the A-level debt. The market's impulse to put Citi on the short side of the contra trade is flat out wrong. This is an excellent opportunity to put that cash to work, lend at higher rates out 5 years and really clean up when the fed the ultimately cuts rates. Get that ROE ROE above 15. Plus, I'm sure they're having a record quarter on the FICC desk.

Banks led by Citigroup have attracted more than $10 billion in investor orders for a leveraged-loan offering supporting Paramount Skydance’s acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. The demand covers a $6.5 billion loan tranche, while a €1 billion tranche has drawn roughly €1.35 billion in orders, according to people familiar with the matter. Lenders are reportedly considering moving up the investor commitment deadline, currently scheduled for Wednesday, as demand exceeds the amount being offered. The loans are part of a $52 billion financing package for the transaction, the largest M&A financing package of 2026, which also includes $32 billion of investment-grade debt and the equivalent of $12.4 billion in high-yield bonds. Citigroup, Bank of America and Apollo Global Management arranged the financing earlier this year. The leveraged loans are being offered at spreads of up to 3 percentage points over benchmark rates and at 99.5 cents on the dollar. $C $BAC $APO $PSKY $WBD

$C is partnering with $COIN to integrate stablecoin payments into the traditional banking system for institutional clients. This is a significant development for both institutional adoption and blockchain infrastructure.

Citigroup lines up Wall Street banks for Banamex IPO Citigroup is assembling major Wall Street banks for an IPO of Mexico’s Grupo Financiero Banamex that could raise more than $3 billion, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Citigroup is expected to lead the offering, with Bank of America, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase also involved. The banks are targeting January for the listing. Citigroup and Banamex are still assessing how much of Citi’s remaining stake could be sold before the IPO, with smaller stake sales possible. The plans remain under discussion and could change, while additional banks may join the syndicate. The IPO is part of CEO Jane Fraser’s broader retreat from consumer banking in international markets. Citi sold 25% of Banamex to Mexican billionaire Fernando Chico Pardo last year and another 24% to investors including General Atlantic and Blackstone, leaving it with about 51%. $C $BAC $GS $JPM

$C The FED refused to hike rates on Biden until mid-2022 and CPI had already passed 8% while repeating the Biden admin's "transitory" term which obviously was not true. The FED cut rates 3X for the Biden admin at the 2024 elections including a jumbo 50 basis points in SEP to juice the economy and markets for the incumbents. Notably, core CPI was 2.4% in that SEP 2024 jumbo cut EXACTLY where it is today. If the FED hikes rates just before the midterms on Trump at the exact same core CPI number that they jumbo cut for Harris, then the evidence is 100% conclusive that the FED is an arm of the Democrat party and will act against the interest of the American people to help Democrats particularly at election time when it was once considered taboo to change policy. This doesn't even account for the fact that members of the FOMC donate over 80% to the Democrat party with their political contributions. If the FED hikes rates, should the Trump admin dissolve the Democrat run FED?

$C The FED did a JUMBO cut 50 bps in SEP 2024 at the exact same core CPI number as today of 2.4%. If they do any hikes just before the midterm elections, it would expose the FED as an arm of the Democrat party.

$C closed calls for 76% this morning at the top! Joint the chat for alerts loke this! HyperStocks on Insta. Tell em Trev sent ya

$C - Our swing trade is up +40%. From $2.89 to $4.05. This is how you easily make money in the market. Let the set ups work for you.

$C got smaller cause i think they miss whisper number and give a bad guide. I like the stock but i think economy is catching up to banks. Bad debt has to be going up. Who knows

$C Adding to my long-term position. The company keeps improving across the board, and last quarter delivered its strongest profits in years. The recent price drop driven by rising yields, not the business itself.

$C Some very weak jobs numbers this morning. Only 29k jobs created and last reading was revised downward to a negative number. 84k was expected. Unemployment ticks up to 4.2% from 4.1%. Avg hourly earnings increases 3% when 3.1% was expected. There should never have been a rate hike last month. Core inflation is coming in tamer than expected, crude oil dropped below $90 per barrel today, and the job market is weaker than previously reported. Keep in mind that the FED jumbo cut 50 basis points to juice the economy in SEP2024 for Democrats. With the EXACT SAME core inflation of 2.4% as then but this time with a several month declining trend from 2.9%, they raised rates on Trump. It is 100% political. It isn't just that there is no correlation with macroeconomic data. The FED moves with a negative correlation with the macroeconomic data. Time to end the FED IMO. It is a political arm of the Democrat party and it is intentionally harming American workers.
