Heading into Q2 earnings from the group, the firm believes credit concerns have receded and while the market seems focused on deregulation and a capital markets rebound, Citi sees greatest upside among regionals, where it expects faster tangible book value growth and improving returns from pull-to-par of securities and swap books, the analyst tells investors.
