Jim Cramer’s Game Plan: 15 Stocks to Watch

2. Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 101

As Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C) is set to report on April 15, Cramer commented:

“Tuesday, we hear from two more big banks and by this time, I gotta tell you, when we see the numbers from Bank of America and Citigroup, our eyes are going to glaze over. They shouldn’t but they will. I think that Bank of America will be the usual fine self and 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.”

Citigroup (NYSE:C) delivers financial products that include cash management, trading services, and investment banking. After the company reported earnings in January, Cramer said:

“Last week we finally got some positive action for the stock market in 2025 with the S&P 500 gaining nearly 3% and turning positive for the year. Cooler inflation data pushed down long-term interest rates and we got flooded with great earnings reports. So what performed best during last week’s rally? When you look at the top performers, there are really some interesting patterns here. Two of the big banks that reported strong quarters made the list. Both Goldman Sachs, which we own for the Charitable Trust, and Citigroup rallied 12%.”
