花旗降低盈利目標,計劃20億回購計劃!




Citi下調回報目標,計劃進行200億美元的股票回購

(路透社)- 花旗集團(Citigroup)在應對不斷上升的監管支出之際,下調了2026年的盈利目標,同時宣布了一項200億美元的股票回購計劃。

花旗在第四季度的盈利超出預期,受益於交易和併購活動的強勁表現,使這家美國第三大銀行的股價在週三下午上漲了7.4%。

花旗首席執行官珍·弗雷澤(Jane Fraser)在一份聲明中表示:“2024年是關鍵的一年,我們的結果顯示我們的策略正在按計劃推進,並推動我們業務的更強表現。”

不過,該行將明年的有形普通股權回報率(ROTCE)目標下調至10%至11%,而之前的預期為11%至12%。弗雷澤將新目標描述為“一個中途點,而非最終目標”。

花旗首席財務官馬克·梅森(Mark Mason)告訴記者,該行正在增加投資以解決合規問題,指的是因風險管理和數據治理而遭受的監管罰款。他表示:“我們看到需要在數據、技術和改善監管報告中信息質量的轉型方面進行更多投資。”

2020年,美國貨幣監理署和聯邦儲備系統對花旗處以4億美元的罰款,因為其在風險和數據方面的失誤。去年七月,監管機構因花旗在解決這些問題方面進展不足而罰款1.36億美元。

花旗董事會批准了一項200億美元的股票回購計劃,授權管理層在2025年第一季度回購最多15億美元的股票。該行未提供進一步回購的時間表。這項回購計劃的規模被分析師斯科特·西費爾(Scott Siefers)形容為該行的“力量展示”。

花旗報告截至12月31日的三個月內淨收入為29億美元,每股收益為1.34美元,而去年同期則錄得18億美元的虧損。總收入增至196億美元,較去年同期的174億美元有所上升。

根據LSEG的數據,花旗在第四季度的經調整每股盈利為1.34美元,高於分析師平均預期的1.22美元。

交易部門受益於美國股市的急劇上升,標普500指數在第四季度創下歷史高位。花旗的市場收入在該季度增長了36%,達到46億美元,固定收益和股票市場的收入分別激增了37%和34%。

華爾街的交易商也從合併、收購和首次公開募股的復甦中獲利,這是近三年來的首次回暖。隨著企業客戶發行更多的債務和股權,銀行的資本市場業務在2024年下半年獲得了提振。花旗的投資銀行收入在第四季度增長了35%,達到9.25億美元。

梅森表示,企業客戶非常活躍,他預計交易活動將上升。“全球的情緒大致是積極的,”他補充道,儘管美國新總統政府面臨政策不確定性,但客戶依然樂觀。整體銀行收入為12億美元,同比增長27%。

花旗的股價在2024年上漲了37%,表現優於廣泛的銀行指數和股票市場,因為投資者對首席執行官珍·弗雷澤的轉型努力表示讚賞。

弗雷澤在2023年底制定了一項計劃,旨在增長利潤、簡化運營並解決該行風險管理和數據治理的長期不足,這一重組工作在去年大部分時間內進行。

該行表示,仍然預計今年將在墨西哥和美國的股票交易所上市其墨西哥單位Banamex,但監管批准和市場條件可能會將交易推遲至2026年,弗雷澤告訴分析師。該行在去年12月完成了為上市所需的銀行業務分拆。

花旗的財富管理部門收入在弗雷澤的增長策略中占據關鍵地位,增長了20%,達到20億美元。

在當前的經濟環境中,花旗的行動反映了對合規性的重視以及在面對監管壓力下的靈活應對策略。雖然下調了盈利目標,但200億美元的回購計劃則顯示出公司對未來的信心,這對投資者來說是一個積極的信號。這樣的動作不僅能夠提升每股盈利,還能向市場傳遞出花旗在轉型過程中的決心和前景。

Two playful cats, one sleek black and one fluffy ginger, are joyfully interacting on a bustling Hong Kong street at sunset. They leap and tumble among vivid neon signs, glowing red lanterns, and traditional market stalls. The scene is bustling with locals and dotted with elements of Hong Kong architecture, such as narrow alleyways, decorative shopfronts, and overhead laundry lines. Warm golden light reflects off the wet cobblestone street, casting dramatic shadows. The atmosphere is lively yet whimsical, capturing the vibrant urban spirit and blending realistic feline anatomy with a touch of enchanting artistry. Rendered in hyper-detailed, cinematic style with rich colors and dynamic composition. An ultra-realistic photograph of an Asian woman in the reference image, faithfully replicating my face and maintaining it 100%. A woman with a perfectly sculpted hourglass figure stands on the sand at sunset. She wears a white string bikini, measuring,+++ accentuating her curves with a well-defined waist, hips, and toned figure. Her skin is fair, smooth, and radiant.

She stands next to a large, ornate gold-framed mirror, perched upright on the sand, fully revealing her reflection. The reflection clearly emphasizes her silhouette, curves, and body proportions.

The lighting is cinematic and stunning, creating soft highlights on her skin and sharp shadow contrasts that enhance the shape of her waist, hips, and legs.

The background features a dusk sky with sunset tones of deep blue, purple, and orange, gentle clouds, and the silhouettes of palm trees.

A natural beach atmosphere, realistic textures, sharp focus on the woman's body and reflections, high detail, Ultra HD, artistic aesthetic, warm lighting, and low angle.
