Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon has taken his lumps up to now 12 months, but hope is constructing for a turnaround.
Dormant capital markets and missteps tied to Solomon’s ill-fated push into retail banking should give approach to stronger results this 12 months.
Rivals JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup posted better-than-expected trading results and a rebound in investment banking fees in the primary quarter; investors will likely be disenchanted if Goldman doesn’t show similar gains.
Unlike more diversified rivals, Goldman gets most of its revenue from Wall Street activities. That may result in outsized returns during boom times and underperformance when markets don’t cooperate.
After pivoting away from retail banking, Goldman’s recent emphasis for growth has centered on its asset and wealth management division. The business could see gains from buoyant markets at first of the 12 months, though it also has taken write-downs tied to industrial real estate up to now.
Solomon may additionally field questions on the most recent examples of an exodus in senior managers, including his global treasurer Philip Berlinski and Beth Hammack, co-head of the bank’s global financing group.
On Friday, JPMorgan, Citigroup and Wells Fargo each posted quarterly results that topped estimates.
