Reports show that AE Wealth Management and XTX Topco Ltd acquired CFG's shares. Claude E. Wade has been appointed to the CFG board, and Christopher Schnirel has been named as the new Controller and Chief Accounting Officer.

Citizens Financial has committed $10 million to workforce development and has declared dividends on preferred shares. Despite a positive view, CFG's critical metrics are starting to weaken. In Q2, CFG missed the earnings predictions due to lower loan demands but had a 28.7% YTD increase. Reports from Wall Street indicate mixed sentiments on the group's stock performance. Its dividends are expected to be $0.42, and its share repurchase authorization has increased to $1.25 billion.
Amidst the fluctuating market conditions, CFG's strategic leadership hires and ongoing expansion plans are promising. However, in Q2, Citizens Financial's profit slipped due to weaker interest income but it hit an 80-plus relative strength rating benchmark. It has also increased its wealth management offerings.
