We determine the current worth of Citigroup using both absolute as well as relative valuation methodologies to arrive at its intrinsic value. In general, an absolute valuation paradigm, as applied to this company, attempts to find the value of Citigroup based exclusively on its fundamental and basic technical indicators. By analyzing Citigroup's financials, quarterly and monthly indicators, and related drivers such as dividends, operating cash flow, and various types of growth rates, we attempt to find the most accurate representation of Citigroup's intrinsic value. In some cases, mostly for established, large-cap companies, we also incorporate more traditional valuation methods such as dividend discount, discounted cash flow, or asset-based models. As compared to an absolute model, our relative valuation model uses a comparative analysis of Citigroup. We calculate exposure to Citigroup's market risk, different technical and fundamental indicators, relevant financial multiples and ratios, and then comparing them to Citigroup's related companies.

Citigroup technical analysis suggests possible bounce-back

Citigroup current semi deviation builds up over 1.21. Citigroup has relatively low volatility with skewness of 0.43 and kurtosis of 0.73. However, we advise all investors to independently investigate Citigroup to ensure all accessible information is consistent with the expectations about its upside potential and future expected returns. Understanding different market volatility trends often help investors to time the market. Properly using volatility indicators enable traders to measure Citigroup's stock risk against market volatility during both bullying and bearish trends. The higher level of volatility that comes with bear markets can directly impact Citigroup's stock price while adding stress to investors as they watch their shares' value plummet. This usually forces investors to rebalance their portfolios by buying different stocks as prices fall.

Our Final Perspective on Citigroup

Whereas some companies under the banks—diversified industry are still a bit expensive, Citigroup may offer a potential longer-term growth to investors. All things considered, as of the 15th of May 2021, we believe that at this point, Citigroup is very steady with below average chance of distress within the next 2 years. From a slightly different point of view, the entity appears to be undervalued. Our primary 90 days 'Buy-Sell' recommendation on the company is Strong Buy.
