Goldman Sachs posts $17.55 earnings per share. Record equities trading powered the beat
Goldman Sachs reported first quarter earnings per share of $17.55 and an annualised return on common equity of 19.8%, driven by record equities trading revenue. The result follows JPMorgan's record $11.6 billion trading quarter and Bank of America's $8.6 billion profit. The pattern is now unmistakable. When global markets panic, Wall Street's biggest banks post their best quarters.
