Citi to Set Aside More Money for Potential Losses on Loans

(Bloomberg) — Citigroup Inc. (C) is set to put aside hundreds of millions of dollars more than it did last quarter to account for potential losses on loans and credit cards, an early sign that the biggest US banks may be bracing for deteriorating consumer health. Trump Said He Fired the National Portrait Gallery Director. She's Still There. NYC Mayoral Candidates All Agree on Building More Housing. But Where? Senator Calls for Closing Troubled ICE Detention Facility in New Mexico California Pitches Emergency Loans for LA, Local Transit Systems 'Given the macro environment, etc., cost of credit compared to last quarter, we expect to be up a few hundred million,' Vis Raghavan, Citigroup's head of banking, said Tuesday at a conference hosted by Morgan Stanley (MS). The figures laid out by Raghavan, also executive vice chair at Citigroup, point to a more cautious approach than some analysts had forecast for this quarter. Estimates suggest a decline in both provisions for loan losses and net charge-offs compared with the previous three months, according to the consensus of more than a dozen analysts compiled by Bloomberg. The bank's provisions for credit losses — which typically cover losses recognized in the period and any building of reserves for the future — totaled $2.72 billion in the first quarter, while the analyst consensus for the second quarter is down slightly — to $2.69 billion. Shares of Citigroup rose 0.4% to $77.88 at 10:32 a.m. in New York. They're up 11% this year. Citigroup is one of the largest retail banks in the US, serving millions of clients in its home market, though is tilted toward consumers with higher credit scores. It also has a small private bank and growing wealth-management arm. Raghavan said he was still reassured by his company's broader credit exposure, particularly its book of corporate clients. 'We still have a few more weeks to go in this quarter, but on the credit overall, I'm incredibly reassured of the quality,' Raghavan said, noting that about 80% of the bank's corporate exposure is to high-grade issuers — a percentage that's even higher outside of the US. Economists are cautiously watching the outlook for US consumers as the country manages the impact of uncertainty around President Donald Trump's tariffs and his upcoming tax bill, which is working its way through Congress. Figures released earlier Tuesday suggested sentiment among small business rose in May for the first time this year. In trading, Citigroup's equities and fixed-income desks have both been strong, and the bank expects an increase in revenue in the mid- to high-single-digit percentage compared with the second quarter of last year, Raghavan said. Investment-banking fees are set to be up in the mid-single digits, he added. —With assistance from Jenny Surane. (Updates with shares in fifth paragraph, consumer outlook in ninth.)
