Goldman Sachs’ Profit Drops in 2nd Quarter

Reuters

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said that fiscal second-quarter earnings slipped in the weak stock market, but that strength in the Wall Street firm’s merger business helped it top most rivals’ results.

Goldman reported net income of $563 million, or $1.06 a share, beating analysts’ estimates of 98 cents a share. A year earlier, it posted earnings of $577 million, or $1.06.

Goldman shares were off $1.75 at $72.70 on the NYSE.
