Citi smashes earnings on record trading revenue — ride the post-earnings momentu
Created
Thesis
Citigroup's stock trading division just pulled in a massive $2.3 billion in a single quarter, surging 45% from last year. Their earnings per share of $3.15 beat every analyst estimate. When a major bank blows past expectations like this, it often attracts a wave of new buyer interest and upgrades from analysts over the following weeks. This creates strong upward momentum that traders can ride as the broader market recognizes the improved value of the company.
Strategy approach
Build a swing strategy that enters long C on the daily timeframe if the stock closes above the previous day's high within 3 sessions of an earnings beat. Exit if the stock closes below the 10-day simple moving average or after a 15-trading-day holding period.
