Sign InCitigroup reported robust Q1 2026 results as revenues rose 14% YoY to $24.6 billion, beating earnings estimates by 18%. Joining the sector's positive momentum, Citizens Financial Group (CFG) delivered double-digit revenue and earnings growth during the same period. CFG is benefiting from the roll-off of low-yielding receiver swaps, creating a multi-year tailwind for interest margins, while its private banking buildout has begun contributing positively to the bottom line.
