More Layoffs Are Coming at Citigroup in March. What Does That Mean for C Stock and Its 2% Dividend?

Big bank earnings are stepping back into the spotlight just as markets brace for fresh Fed signals, new inflation data, and another reality check on the health of U.S. finance. This earnings season features updates from heavyweights like JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Bank of America (BAC), Wells Fargo (WFC), and Citigroup (C), giving a front‑row view into how major lenders are navigating tighter policy and shifting credit conditions. 

One name stands out in that lineup. Citigroup has seen its stock surge nearly 43% over the past 52 weeks while management pursues a plan to cut 20,000 roles by the end of 2026, including about 1,000 jobs reportedly on the chopping block this week.
