Here is what Lansing Street Advisors has to say about Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C) in its Q3 2023 investor letter:

“Renowned advisor Peter Mallouk draws on research from DFA to remind us that historical probabilities tend to challenge the notion of FAANG+ stocks enduring indefinitely. While it’s true that these are exceptional companies with strong financial foundations and consistent profitability, maintaining a historical perspective is valuable, as it helps us remain mindful of the ever-changing landscape of the financial markets. Investors should remember that Citigroup‘s stock, once above $500, now trades at $39. Many wellknown companies share a similar trajectory.”
