Oppenheimer analyst Chris Kotowski updated shares of Citigroup, Inc C to a Maintains rating and set the price target from $82 to $85.
While Citigroup anticipates full-year 2023 adjusted revenue to range between $78 billion and $79 billion, Kotowski believes that the potential to shrink the share count is enormous, paving the way for patient shareholders to reap rewards.
In addition to solid performance, Citigroup’s healthy dividend yield of 4.6% provides an opportunity for income-focused investors.

- Jeff Bezos called the meteoric success of this real estate investing strategy early on. He bet millions on the growth of fractional investing, and you can get in on the action with as little as $100.
- Passive income investments are one of the most trusted methods for riding out a recession, so it's no surprise that people are turning to high-yield real estate notes that pay a fixed 7.5% to 9%.
For those aiming to earn $500 per month from dividends, they would need to hold about $130,434.78 in the stock or roughly 2,899 shares.
On a smaller scale, a monthly income target of $100 would require about $26,086.96 or about 579 shares.
So how does this work? The calculation involves translating the monthly target into an annual figure ($500 x 12 months equals $6,000 per year), which is then divided by Citigroup’s dividend yield. For a $500 monthly income, the equation would look like this: 6000 / 0.046 = $130,434.78.

Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.
