Citigroup results came in better than expected for the second quarter, the firm said Friday, buoyed by growth in emerging markets and its overall loan portfolio.
Earnings were $1.28, compared with the Street at $1.21, and revenue was also above the Street at $17.9 billion, versus $17.5 billion expected. The overall revenue growth came as North America’s top line was up five percent and emerging markets were up 10 percent.
