The earnings call highlighted strong financial performance across various segments, notably Asset & Wealth Management and Global Banking & Markets. However, some challenges persist, particularly in the consumer business and ongoing regulatory uncertainties. The positive aspects, especially the record-breaking achievements and growth in key areas, outweigh the negative points.

Company Guidance

During the Goldman Sachs Q3 2024 earnings call, the executives provided guidance highlighting several key metrics and strategic insights. The firm reported net revenues of $12.7 billion, an increase of 7% year-over-year, with an earnings per share (EPS) of $8.40, which was up 54% compared to the previous year. The return on equity (ROE) stood at 10.4%, while the return on tangible equity (RoTE) was 11.1%. In Global Banking and Markets, revenues reached $8.6 billion, with advisory revenues rising to $875 million and equity underwriting revenues increasing by 25% year-over-year. Asset & Wealth Management revenues were up 16% year-over-year to $3.8 billion, with assets under supervision surpassing $3 trillion for the first time. The firm emphasized its focus on narrowing its consumer footprint, which had a negative impact of 80 basis points on ROE. Despite challenges, Goldman Sachs continues to invest in its global franchises and alternative fundraising, expecting to exceed $60 billion in fundraising for 2024. The executives also discussed concerns regarding the regulatory process related to Basel III revisions and the impact on capital requirements, stressing the importance of getting it right to avoid increasing credit costs for businesses.
