The maximum drawdown is down to 6.23 as of today. Citigroup has relatively low volatility with skewness of -0.02 and kurtosis of -0.01. 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 other entities under the banks—diversified industry are still a bit expensive, Citigroup may offer a potential longer-term growth to investors. To conclude, as of the 13th of October 2021, we believe that at this point, Citigroup is very steady with close to average chance of bankruptcy within the next 2 years. From a slightly different point of view, the entity appears to be undervalued. Our latest 90 days Buy-Hold-Sell recommendation on the company is Buy.
