\n

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. on Tuesday reported a third-quarter profit that was lower than the same quarter last year, but the bank managed to beat reduced earnings expectations on record revenue in its equities and financing units.<\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs Group\u2019s
\n GS,
\n -1.60%<\/bg-quote>
\n net earnings to common shareholders for the three months ending Sept. 30 dropped by about 36% to $1.88 billion, or $5.47 a share, from $2.96 billion, or $8.25 a share, in the year-ago quarter. The latest figure includes $2.41 a share in one-time items. Net earnings fell 33% to $2.06 billion. <\/p>\n

\n

Analysts tracked by FactSet expected Goldman Sachs to report earnings of $5.42 a share.<\/p>\n

Third-quarter revenue fell to $11.82 billion from $11.98 billion in the year-ago quarter, ahead of the estimate of $11.15 billion. <\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs stock fell 0.7% as bond yields rose sharply on the heels of a stronger-than-expected retail-sales report. The 10-year rate rose 13 basis points to around 4.84%, on its way to the highest 3 p.m. Eastern time level since Aug. 8, 2007.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At Goldman Sachs, net revenues generated by global banking and markets rose 6% to $8 billion, driven by performance in fixed income, currency and commodities and in equities. The bank also said it booked record quarterly revenue in financing. <\/p>\n

Net revenue for equities rose 8% to $2.96 billion, as the bank booked higher equities-financing revenue, which reflected \u201csignificantly higher net revenue in prime financing,\u201d the bank said. This was offset by lower portfolio-financing revenue, while revenue increased in equities intermediation, primarily in derivatives.<\/p>\n

Investment-banking fees were unchanged at $1.55 billion, as the bank benefited from debt underwriting, which was driven by leveraged finance activity, while a decline in mergers and acquisitions weighed on its advisory business.<\/p>\n

Asset and Wealth Management revenue of $3.2 billion fell 20% from year ago but rose 6% from the previous quarter.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chief Executive David Solomon said the bank continues to make progress on its efforts to realign its business, such as the recent sale of its GreenSky consumer-lending unit.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also expect a continued recovery in both capital markets and strategic activity if conditions remain conducive,\u201d Solomon said. <\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs reported a $203 million impact on earnings from GreenSky and a $37 million impact from its loan portfolio at its Marcus consumer-banking unit. <\/p>\n

Keefe, Bruyette & Woods analyst David Konrad said that Goldman Sachs delivered a \u201cnoisy\u201d quarter of one-time items, but that exiting GreenSky was a good decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll key revenue items beat our estimate, including strong beats in investment banking and trading,\u201d Konrad said. <\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs was expected to earn $7.78 a share at the start of the quarter, according to FactSet consensus estimates.<\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs bought back $1.5 billion of its own stock in the third quarter, up from $750 million in the second quarter. Looking ahead, the firm expects stock buybacks in the fourth quarter to drop. <\/p>\n

Chief Financial Officer Denis Coleman said the bank has marked or pared down its commercial-real-estate exposure by about 50% in 2023, a move he said was significant.<\/p>\n

The bank entered 2023 with about $15 billion of commercial-real-estate alternative investments and has now reduced that figure by about $5 billion. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re making very, very significant progress against those positions,\u201d Coleman said.<\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs\u2019s stock holds the distinction of being the only big U.S. bank stock with a positive performance in the third quarter, with a slim 0.3% gain. <\/p>\n

However, the stock has fallen 8.5% in the past month, compared with a 1.9% drop by the Dow Jones Industrial Average
\n DJIA.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n

Solomon\u00a0has been under scrutiny\u00a0after disclosing losses in the consumer-banking unit and drawing criticism from within the company\u2019s ranks.<\/p>\n

Analysts have also been tempering their expectations for Goldman Sachs amid a lackluster deal environment for mergers and acquisitions and initial public offerings.<\/p>\n
