(Reuters) -Citigroup has appointed JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM)’s Guillermo Baygual as co-head of mergers and acquisitions, according to an internal memo seen by Reuters on Thursday, as the U.S. bank seeks to grow its share of the lucrative dealmaking business. Baygual, who has spent over 25 years at JPMorgan, most recently served as the global co-head of the largest U.S. bank’s infrastructure and strategic investors group. The appointment comes as Wall Street bankers anticipate a pickup in dealmaking in the second half of the year, with analysts expecting boardrooms to look past tariff uncertainty and antitrust headwinds to ease. It also marks another win for Citi, which has been steadily expanding its investment banking business under Viswas Raghavan, a former JPMorgan executive who joined in 2024. This year, Citi has advised on several major deals, including Charter Communications (NASDAQ:CHTR)’ acquisition of privately held Cox Communications, and Sycamore Partners’ deal to take Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ:WBA) private. "We’re very pleased on the M&A front - the pipeline is excellent," Citi CEO Jane Fraser told analysts on a conference call in July, and said the bank was working on seven of the 10 largest investment banking transactions of the year. In the first half of 2025, it ranked fourth globally among banks by M&A revenue, according to Dealogic data. It also earned the fifth-highest investment banking revenue, per the financial data provider’s league tables.

Citigroup M&A target stocks surge  Investment News

By Valentina Za ROME (Reuters) - UniCredit said it would launch on April 28 its buyout offer for Banco BPM on the same day as French bank Credit Agricole (OTC:CRARY) said it had secured supervisory approval to hold up to 19.9% of BPM’s capital. Credit Agricole became Banco BPM’s main investor in 2022, acquiring a 9.2% of the Milanese bank, shortly after an earlier aborted takeover attempt by UniCredit for the smaller rival. Following authorisation from the European Central Bank, the French group will hold 19.8% of Banco BPM, it said on Wednesday. Although Credit Agricole has ruled out a counterbid for the Milanese bank, bankers say it remains the main hurdle for UniCredit CEO Andrea Orcel’s ambitions. Orcel’s move on BPM in November upended the Italian Treasury’s plans to promote an eventual tie-up between Banco BPM and state-backed Monte dei Paschi di Siena. Buttressing BPM’s defences against UniCredit, Credit Agricole in December started raising its potential holding through derivative contracts after securing an informal nod from the Rome government. It bought further derivatives in the first quarter, it said. Credit Agricole has commercial interests to protect in its biggest market outside France - it partners in consumer credit and insurance with Banco BPM and its asset manager Amundi has a distribution deal with UniCredit that runs out in 2027. After receiving ECB approval on Friday for its 14 billion euro ($15.11 billion) all-share bid for BPM, UniCredit on Wednesday said that Italy’s market watchdog Consob had approved the share offer document. The offer will run from April 28 to June 23. UniCredit’s swoop on BPM is one of a series of hostile bids rocking Italy’s banking sector, which underwent a painful clean-up after the 2008-2012 crisis years but has recently enjoyed record profits due to high interest rates.
