A ‘Reasonable Quarter’

In a recent report, Susquehanna analysts Doug Sipkin and Justin LaSalle-Tarantin previewed Goldman Sachs’ results, highlighting that late-June uncertainty weighed in on an otherwise “reasonable quarter.”

Seeking to reflect “weaker fixed income trading driven by Greek uncertainty in the second half of June,” the analysts trimmed their second quarter earnings estimate to $3.76 per share, from $4.01 per share. For their part, revenues are expected to come in at $8.7 billion, well below consensus.
