Nomura Securities maintains a 'Buy' on Citi (NYSE: C) price target lowered from $41 to $38.

Nomura analyst, Glenn Schorr, said, "Revenues were down 8% q/q, with the capital markets businesses the big drag; however, Citi showed solid growth in the international consumer businesses; total credit losses fell 12% q/q, NIM was up 1bp, transaction services keep humming along, and operating expenses were down a bit. Meanwhile, capital levels improved and tangible book value grew at a 6% annualized clip. Citi’s loan-loss reserves remain healthy, and the bank’s European exposures appear reasonable on a relative and absolute basis. While not a impressive quarter (3Q11 won’t be for anyone), we think Citi is managing through this tough environment pretty well. Our 2011E goes to $4.13 from $3.65, 2012E goes to $4.25 from $4.50, and 2013E goes to $5.00 from $5.30."
