Goldman Sachs is scheduled to report first-quarter earnings before the opening bell Monday.
Here’s what Wall Street expects:
- Earnings: $12.35 per share, according to LSEG
- Revenue: $14.81 billion, according to LSEG
- Trading Revenue: Fixed Income of $4.56 billion and Equities of $3.65 billion, per StreetAccount
- Investing Banking Revenue: $1.94 billion, per StreetAccount
Goldman Sachs may prove to be a beneficiary of the recent market environment.
On Friday, rivals JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley each topped expectations for first-quarter results on booming equities trading.
Equities trading revenue surged 48% and 45% at the banks, respectively, thanks to volatility in the opening months of President Donald Trump’s tenure amid his efforts to reshape global trade agreements.
Buoyant markets during most of the quarter, which ended March 31, should also support the bank’s wealth and asset management division, which CEO David Solomon has called the growth engine of the bank.
But markets have churned since Trump escalated trade tensions last week, sowing uncertainty across the world’s largest economy. Goldman shares have dropped 14% this year through Friday.
Analysts will be keen to hear what Solomon has to say about his conversations with corporate clients and institutional investors during the tumult.
