Have Citigroup's shares ever split?
Citigroup's shares were split on a 1:10 basis on 8 May 2011. So if you had owned 10 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Citigroup shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 900% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Citigroup shares which in turn could have impacted Citigroup's share price.

Citigroup share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Citigroup's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$42.9557 up to US$70.2. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Citigroup share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 38.05% of net profits
Recently Citigroup has paid out, on average, around 38.05% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.2% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Citigroup shareholders could enjoy a 3.2% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Citigroup's case, that would currently equate to about $2.15 per share.
While Citigroup's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Citigroup may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Citigroup's most recent dividend payout was on 21 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 3 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
