Citigroup’s Biggest Critic Recommends Buying on Pandit Exit

posted: 7 months ago

Vikram Pandit

Michael Mayo, an analyst who has spent the past five years telling investors to sell Citigroup’s stock, reversed his stance after the board replaced Vikram Pandit as CEO Tuesday.

Bloomberg reports that Mayo, who works in New York for CLSA Ltd., changed his rating to 'outperform' from 'underperform' because Pandit’s ouster reflects a 'more proactive board', the analyst wrote in a note. The change may lead to additional restructuring and more dividends for shareholders as the firm repairs its credibility with regulators, he wrote.

'The change in leadership at Citigroup is a sign of improved governance by the board compared to a decade of risk management and regulatory mishaps with little to no accountability', Mayo wrote.
