Profits Leap at Goldman Sachs as Banks See Steady Economy
Published On Oct 15, 2024, 10:03 AM
Goldman Sachs reported a significant increase in third-quarter earnings, with profits hitting $3 billion, exceeding Wall Street expectations. This performance comes despite earlier warnings from CEO David M. Solomon about potential challenges. The bank's revenue reached nearly $13 billion, driven partly by unexpected strong trading activity, attributed to the economic stability and a recent interest rate cut announced by the Federal Reserve.
