Fortune (May 6)
“Last year’s consensus was that the U.S. economy was headed for a recession, but that didn’t happen. This year’s consensus is that we’ll have a soft landing, in which the economy slows but won’t tip into a recession.” But contrarians like Andrew Hollenhorst, Citi’s chief U.S. economist, believe “a hard landing” is now imminent.

Financial Times (April 18)
In the U.S., ‘say-on-pay’ votes were first required last year. On Tuesday, Citi’s shareholders voted down the proposed compensation package, becoming “the first big US bank to suffer majority dissent in a ‘say-on-pay’ vote and only the 12th S&P 500 company to lose such a ballot.” Citi joins a growing list of companies where shareholders rejected proposed compensation. “Last year 41 companies in the Russell 3000 – including Hewlett-Packard, Jacobs Engineering and Stanley Black & Decker – failed to receive majority support in such votes.”
