LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - Citigroup's quarterly results beat analysts' estimates, although poor showings in its markets and investment banking units.
For the quarter that ended on 30 June the lender posted a 36% drop in net income for earnings per share of $1.33, leaving it 3 cents ahead of the consensus.

"Amid a challenging macroeconomic backdrop, we continued to see the benefits of our diversified business model and strong balance sheet," Citi chief executive officer, Jane Fraser, said.

Revenues of $19.44bn also beat the consensus, which was for $19.29bn, but dipped by 1% in comparison to the year earlier period.
