Goldman said second-quarter profit jumped 150% from a year earlier to $3.04 billion, or $8.62 per share; the bank’s results a year ago were hamstrung by write-downs tied to commercial real estate and the sale of a consumer business.
Companywide revenue rose a more modest 17% to $12.73 billion on growth in the bank’s core trading, advisory, and asset and wealth management operations.
Fixed income was a highlight for the quarter; revenue there jumped 17% to $3.18 billion, roughly $220 million more than the StreetAccount estimate, on activity in interest rate, currency and mortgage trading markets.
