Goldman has raised its stock price target for Citi to $68, implying nearly 18% upside from Wednesday’s close price of $57.76. “Citi can grow revenue and deliver on expense reductions simultaneously, and there is significant capacity for C to either buy back stock or expand its balance sheet,” Goldman’s team of analysts led by Richard Ramsden told clients in a note Thursday.

Goldman sees a realistic path for Citigroup to deliver a return on common shareholder equity of 9.5% in 2026, as the bank aims to slash its costs by up to $2.5 billion by reducing head count and exiting from its remaining noncore international consumer franchise, among other measures. Goldman expects Citigroup’s revenue to grow at an accelerated compound annual rate of 4% to reach $85.7 billion by 2026.
