Citi IB Check In

How has Citi been performing recently, in LDN and US? Looking at Dealogic/FT/LSEG, seems like they are doing very well — 4th globally for M&A deal value and fees (only behind GS/JPM/MS). Thoughts?

Citi has been performing strongly in both the US and London, particularly in M&A. Based on the most helpful WSO content:

  1. Global M&A Performance: Citi ranks 4th globally for M&A deal value and fees, trailing only Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, and Morgan Stanley. This positions Citi as a top-tier player in the global M&A space.

  2. US Market: In the US, Citi has consistently been a strong performer. For example, in the 2020 US M&A League Tables, Citi was among the top 5 banks, alongside Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, and Bank of America. Citi's robust deal flow and capital markets exposure have contributed to its strong standing.

  3. London Market: In London, Citi's teams are recognized for their deal flow, with certain sectors like Industrials and Power & Utilities being particularly strong. While Citi is often compared to other bulge brackets like Barclays and Credit Suisse, it has been noted for its international strength and well-capitalized position, which gives it an edge in certain markets.

  4. Energy Sector: Citi has also been a top player in the energy sector, ranking highly in deal flow and advisory roles, especially in Houston, where it competes closely with JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and others.

Overall, Citi's recent performance reflects its strong global presence and ability to compete effectively in both the US and London markets. Its position as a well-capitalized American bank further enhances its appeal for clients and professionals alike.
