Fitch Ratings upgraded Citizens Financial Group and its operating subsidiary Citizens Bank to ’A-’ from ’BBB+’, citing sustained improvements in earnings generation and profitability, while maintaining a stable outlook. Fitch also raised their Viability Ratings to ’a-’ from ’bbb+’, with short-term ratings unchanged at ’F1’. The upgrade reflects stronger margins from asset repricing, stable credit costs and long-term investments in fee-generating businesses such as private banking, capital markets and wealth management. Non-interest income accounted for 28% of revenue in the first half of 2026, while private-bank assets under management rose 48% year over year in Q2.
