• Goldman Sachs followed its larger rival, JPMorgan, in booking solid investment banking fees, but missed Street forecasts for its headline Q4 earnings.
Goldman Sachs (GS) posted weaker-than-expected fourth quarter earnings Tuesday as the bank followed its rivals with solid investment banking revenues but noted a slump in its global capital markets division.
Goldman said earnings for the three months ending in December were pegged at $10.81 per share, down 10.5% from the same period last year and well shy of the Street consensus forecast of $11.76 per share. Group revenues, Goldman said, rose 7.7% to $12.64 billion, topping analysts' forecasts of a $12.08 billion total.
Investment banking revenues rose 45% from last year to $3.8 billion, Goldman said, while overall global markets revenues were down 7% at $3.99 billion.
“2021 was a record year for Goldman Sachs. The firm’s extraordinary performance is a testament to the strength of our client franchise and people," said CEO David Solomon, referring in part to a return on equity rate of 23%, the highest since 2007. 'Moving forward, our leadership team remains committed to growing Goldman Sachs, diversifying our businesses and delivering strong returns for shareholders.”
Goldman Sachs shares were marked 2.2% lower in pre-market trading immediately following the earnings release to indicate an opening bell price of $372.57 each.
Last week, JPMorgan Chase (JPM) posted stronger-than-expected fourth quarter earnings of $10.4 billion, thanks in part to solid gains from investment banking fees and the release of reserves set aside during the peak of the Covid pandemic, but said net interest income, a key measure of profitability, coming in at around $50 billion, down from the 2021 tally of around $52.5 billion and well shy of Street forecasts.
Global merger deals topped $5 trillion for the first time on record this year, an all-time high powered in part by SPAC deals, cheap capital and major corporate restructurings.
Dealogic, which compiles merger and acquisition data, said the value of global deals rose 63% from last year to $5.63 trillion, a fresh all-time high that eclipsed the 2007 record of $4.42 trillion.
Plans unveiled by General Electric (GE) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) to split-up their companies played a big role in this year's record total, as did the surge in deals made with so-called special purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs, lead by Singapore-based Grab's $4.5 billion merger earlier this month.
