"While the financial markets remained focused on AI developments for 2025, public companies outside the tech sector pressed ahead with growth strategies, launched new products, expanded into new markets, carried out complex turnarounds, acquired competitors, and navigated external challenges, many of them to do with offsetting tariff costs. Some CEOs from these large corporations executed their initiatives exceptionally well, and others did not."
"The "regulatory discount" has begun to evaporate after the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, a U.S. Treasury bureau that regulates banks, terminated a key consent order amendment, and the Federal Reserve closed three supervisory notices, both in recognition of Citi's improved capabilities in risk management and data governance. The stock's performance ranking is the best among major U.S. banks, up 67%, and it is trading above tangible book value (1.25x) for the first time in a decade."
Financial markets concentrated on AI developments in 2025 while many public companies outside the tech sector executed growth strategies, launched new products, expanded into new markets, carried out complex turnarounds, acquired competitors, and navigated external challenges such as offsetting tariff costs. Execution varied across CEOs, with some delivering exceptional results. Ten top non‑tech leaders were identified for standout performance. One major bank underwent a successful multi‑year restructuring under CEO Jane Fraser's "Project Bora Bora", with full‑year revenues tracking toward $84 billion, five business segments posting quarterly records, regulatory constraints easing, and the stock rising 67% to trade above 1.25x tangible book.
