Goldman Sachs Stumbles In Q2 With Profits At Pandemic-Era Lows
Portfolio Pulse from AJ Fabino
Goldman Sachs Group Inc's Q2 earnings fell short of expectations with a 60% YoY drop, marking its worst quarterly profits since the early stages of the pandemic in 2020. The bank's profit drop was primarily due to its retrenchment from consumer businesses and declining real estate investments. Despite the slump, CEO David Solomon remained optimistic about the bank's strategic decisions and the potential recovery of investment banking and mergers and acquisitions.
