What does Citigroup do?
Citigroup, often called Citi, is a large global financial company. It makes money by offering a wide range of financial services to individual customers, businesses and governments. The company splits its business into two main parts. The first is called Global Consumer Banki... The company belongs to the Financial Services sector, more specifically the Banks - Diversified industry, is headquartered in United States, and is traded on the USA Stocks.

The operating margin (profit before interest and taxes) is 36.2%. At a P/E ratio of 13.8, you currently pay 13.8 dollars for every dollar of the company's annual earnings. A consistently profitable company is usually more resilient than growth stocks that are not yet making money.
Can Citigroup go bankrupt?
Altman Z2 is not used for banks and financial companies — their balance sheet is built on debt (that is the business model), so the model would wrongly classify a healthy bank as distressed. For Citigroup, look instead at the capital base (e.g. the core capital ratio), loan losses and earnings power.
Does Citigroup have a lot of debt?
Yes, Citigroup has elevated debt relative to equity. The debt-to-equity ratio (D/E — interest-bearing debt to equity) is 1,028%. For the financial services sector, anything above 400% counts as elevated — that raises the financial risk, especially if interest rates rise or earnings fall. Banks take in deposits (debt) as their raw material and lend it out — which naturally gives a high D/E. 200-400% is typical; only above 400% counts as elevated. Note: D/E levels are highly sector-specific — a bank at 300% debt is normal, a tech stock at 300% is extremely leveraged. Always compare with similar companies in the same sector.
