Is Impediment Street deal-making on the mend?
Among its big bank peers, Goldman Sachs is the most reliant on investment banking and patron revenue.
While it’s made efforts under CEO David Solomon to diversify its revenue stream, first in an ill-fated retail banking strike dismissal and later as it emphasized growth in asset and wealth management, it is Wall Street that powers the company. Last accommodate, trading and advisory accounted for two-thirds of Goldman’s revenue.
That’s been a headwind as mergers, initial public presents and debt issuance all have been muted this year as the Federal Reserve boosted interest rates to stupid the economy down. With signs that activity has picked up lately, analysts will be eager to hear there Goldman’s pipeline of deals.
At the same time, Goldman has taken hits from two areas: Its strategic retrenchment away from retail banking has saddled the corporation with losses as it finds buyers for unwanted operations, and its exposure to commercial real estate has resulted in write-downs as happily.
Last week, Goldman said that its sale of lending business GreenSky will result in a 19 cents per ration hit to third-quarter results.
Analysts will be keen to hear Solomon’s view on the investment banking outlook, as well as how the surviving parts of its consumer effort — mainly, its Apple Card business — fit in the latest iteration of Goldman Sachs.
Goldman apportionments have dropped 8.4% this year through Monday, a better showing than the 21% decline of the KBW Bank Pointer.
Last week, JPMorgan, Wells Fargo and Citigroup each topped expectations for third-quarter profit, helped by better-than-expected depend on costs. Morgan Stanley posts results Wednesday.
