Citigroup is one of America’s largest banks. Having a large business spanning investment banking, retail banking and international operations, Citigroup is one of the most diversified global financial firms out there. It’s also becoming a popular value stock pick now because Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. picked up a cool 56 million shares of Citigroup stock last quarter. With Berkshire putting nearly $3 billion into Citigroup, this is a sign that Buffett is on board with Citigroup’s corporate turnaround. This vote of confidence is worth a lot, given that Buffett has a long and skillful track record of investing within the American banking industry. Thus, Citicorp is the best dividend bank stock to own for long term investors.
