What's Going On With Citigroup Stock Today?

Citigroup Inc C shares are trading higher Thursday after the company reported better-than-expected earnings results.

Citigroup said first-quarter revenue declined 2% year-over-year to $19.19 billion, which beat the $18.33 billion estimate. The firm reported quarterly earnings of $2.02 per share, which beat the estimate for earnings of $1.57 per share. 

Citigroup said higher net interest income driven by Services in Institutional Clients Group, as well as Personal Banking and Wealth Management was more than offset by lower non-interest revenue across businesses.

Net Income was down 46% year-over-year, driven by higher cost of credit, higher expenses and the aforementioned lower revenues.
