Goldman Sachs on Wednesday posted third-quarter results that crushed analysts’ profit estimates on stronger-than-expected results in bond trading and asset management.
The firm generated $3.62 billion in profit, or a record $9.68 a share, exceeding the $5.57 per share estimate of analysts surveyed by Refinitiv. Companywide revenue climbed 30% to $10.78 billion, topping the estimate by more than $1 billion, driven by the trading and asset management divisions.
Shares of the bank gained 0.6% after rising 2.2% earlier in premarket trading.
