Read MoreHide Full Article
Have you been eager to see how The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (GS - Free Report) performed in Q3 in comparison with the market expectations? Let’s quickly scan through the key facts from this NY-based popular bank’s earnings release this morning:
An Earnings Beat

You should note that the earnings estimate revisions for Goldman depicted pessimism prior to the earnings release. The Zacks Consensus Estimate declined slightly over the last 7 days.
Goldman has a decent earnings surprise history. Before posting earnings beat in Q3, the company delivered positive surprises in three of the prior four quarters. Overall, the company surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by an average of 11.4% in the trailing four quarters.
Goldman posted revenues of $8.2 billion, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $7.6 billion. Moreover, revenues improved19% on a year-over-year basis.
Key Stats to Note

Goldman ranked first in globally announced mergers and acquisitions year-to-date.
What Zacks Rank Says
The estimate revisions that we discussed earlier have driven a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Goldman.
