Citizens Financial Group (CFG) has had a very strong third quarter, with its stock up 5.3% following a beat on earnings and a prime rate cut to 6.75%. The bank's impressive
Q3 performance has led to reassessment of its
valuation. Some experts believe that Citizens Financial may have even outrun its fundamentals, following a rally of 34% in 2025. Furthermore, the bank's
margin-driven growth story has resonated well with investors, suggesting a robust future outlook despite some analysts downgrading the stock. Factors contributing to the bank's strong performance include increased
Net Interest Income (NII) and fee earnings, which were well ahead of forecasts. Shareholders can also expect a higher dividend than last year, as the bank's financial health keeps improving. Looking ahead, the bank is projected to experience an expense growth of between 4%-4.5% by 2026. While some institutions sold their CFG shares, many others raised their stake including
Invesco Ltd and
Fisher Asset Management.
