Citigroup (C) Sees Large Q3 Earnings Fall

October 1, 2007 by Douglas A. McIntyre

The decline "was driven primarily by weak performance in fixed-income credit-market activities, write-downs in leveraged loan commitments, and increases in consumer-credit costs," Chairman and Chief Executive Charles Prince said in a statement.
