According to consensus estimates, revenues are projected to be approximately $21 billion, which is a 4% increase compared to the previous year, while earnings are anticipated to be around $1.83 per share, reflecting a 20% rise year-over-year. The growth is likely to be fueled by a robust investment banking segment, amidst relatively volatile markets and heightened deal activity, as well as enhanced fixed income and equity trading revenues. Furthermore, the wealth management division is expected to perform well, supported by stronger asset growth and expansion in the company's premium wealth management services – Citigold, the Private Bank, and Wealth at Work businesses. The company's current market capitalization stands at $181 billion. Over the last twelve months, it has generated revenues of $83 billion and a net income of $14 billion. A significant part of the outcome will rely on how the results compare to consensus expectations; however, understanding historical patterns could improve your chances if you are an event-driven trader. There are two approaches for this: either comprehend the historical odds and place your position before the earnings release, or analyze the relationship between immediate and medium-term returns following earnings and adjust your position accordingly post-release. That being said, if you are seeking growth with lower volatility compared to individual stocks, the Trefis High Quality portfolio offers an alternative – having outperformed the S&P 500 and yielding returns over 91% since its inception.

Thus, positive 1D returns occurred approximately 50% of the time. This percentage rises to 55% when considering data from the last 3 years instead of 5. The median for the 9 positive returns is 1.8%, whereas the median for the 9 negative returns is -1.8% Additional data on observed 5-Day (5D) and 21-Day (21D) returns following earnings are compiled along with the statistics in the table below. 1D, 5D, and 21D Post Earnings Return Trefis Correlation Between 1D, 5D, and 21D Historical Returns A relatively safer strategy (albeit less effective if the correlation is low) involves understanding the relationship between short-term and medium-term returns following earnings, identifying a pair demonstrating the strongest correlation, and executing the relevant trade. For instance, if 1D and 5D display the highest correlation, a trader might consider going "long" for the subsequent 5 days if the 1D post-earnings return is positive. The following correlation data is based on both a 5-year and a 3-year (more recent) history. Note that correlation 1D\_5D represents the correlation between 1D post-earnings returns and the subsequent 5D returns.
