Citi Calls For Continued Profitability (C)

The profits improved in retail banking while corporate operations appear to have declined. Citi continued to pare down non-essential businesses and the student loan group efforts were a part of that move. CEO Vikram Pandit maintained the stance of “all of the elements for continued profitability” rather than talking about only choppy and uncertain times.
