- Is Citigroup Stock a Buy 13% Below Its 52-Week High?
Citigroup posted strong third-quarter 2026 results, with revenue of US$23.8b (up 8%, its highest third-quarter revenue in a decade) and net income up 37% to US$5.2b. EPS of US$2.85 beat estimates of US$2.65, and adjusted EPS excluding a goodwill impairment was US$2.24, up 20%, helped by expenses rising just 3%. Despite this, shares fell almost 5% after the October 13 release to US$126, about 13% below their US$145 52-week closing high. The article cites a CET1 ratio of 12.8%, a dividend of US$0.67 per share (2.18% yield) and a 24% payout ratio as support for the dividend, and notes the stock trades at 10 times forward earnings. The author is skeptical of the 25% upside implied by the median analyst target of US$154, but says Citigroup may be a decent option for dividend investors among large banks.
- Is JPMorgan Chase Stock a Buy 8 % Below Its Record High ?
JPMorgan Chase (JPM) traded at $335.53 on Oct. 15, 8% below its record close of $365.18 on Aug. 12, 2026. Third-quarter net revenue rose 8% to $50.2 billion and diluted EPS rose 10% to $5.57, but both missed analyst expectations, the first earnings miss since second-quarter 2022. Equities revenue surged 49%, average loans rose 10% and average deposits rose 8%, and management raised full-year net interest income guidance by $700 million to $97.2 billion. The stock trades at a price-to-book ratio of 2.5, a premium to Bank of America, Wells Fargo and Citigroup, but its 20% return on tangible common equity is significantly higher and it offers a dividend yield of nearly 2%. The author believes the valuation may be justified, though the stock is not a bargain.

- Crypto vault deposits top $10 billion as lending risks draw regulatory scrutiny
Deposits into crypto lending vaults have risen from $4 billion at the start of last year to more than $10 billion, according to the Financial Times. Each vault is run by a 'curator' who selects lending strategies through smart contracts on DeFi platforms, sets risk limits and collects fees, with typical returns of 3% to 10% and riskier strategies reaching 20% or more. Risks include illiquid or hard-to-sell collateral, automatic liquidations, hacks and coding errors, while investors may focus on headline yields. Fintechs, digital asset treasury firms and hedge funds are among the main depositors, and Bitcoin lender Two Prime launched a vault on Pareto targeting 1.5% to 2% yields, with a minimum deposit of 5 WBTC and about $10 million of its own capital absorbing initial losses. U.S. and European regulators are examining whether existing rules should apply, and the SEC has questioned vaults that hold securities.
