When a caller asked about Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C), Cramer stated:

“I want you to buy Citi. It’s not my favorite. You’re absolutely right. I sold Wells, just one more consent decree knocked down. Capital One is my absolute favorite. I think you should buy that aggressively, but I like your idea.”

Citigroup (NYSE:C) is a well-known name in the global financial sector. The company offers a wide range of services, such as cash management, trading, and investment banking. On April 11, Cramer commented, “Citigroup’s gotten so loved that it’s probably going to roar no matter what is said, such is the admiration for CEO Jane Fraser and she certainly earned it.”

Moreover, on April 16, RBC Capital analyst Gerard Cassidy cut Citi’s stock price target from $85 to $78 and kept an Outperform rating after the company’s first-quarter report. Citi posted stronger results than expected, beating both RBC’s forecast and the broader market consensus.

Management expressed confidence in reaching their medium-term goal of a 10% to 11% ROTCE by 2026, compared to 9.1% in Q1. RBC said the lower price target shows a drop in non-interest income, though it was partly balanced by a rise in net interest income.
