US Stocks: Goldman Sachs Quarterly Profit Rises on Equities Strength
- On Tuesday, Goldman Sachs reported third-quarter profit of $5.29 billion, up from $4.10 billion a year ago, driven by a 72% revenue jump in equities to $6.44 billion.

- Expanding its $4 trillion asset-management division, the bank acquired NEOS Investments for $2.25 billion and LCN Capital Partners for $410 million, driving a 14% revenue increase in the asset and wealth management division.
- "Notwithstanding the current complexity and uncertainty in the world, we remain very well positioned to continue to deliver for our clients," Solomon said, as volatile markets tied to the Middle East conflict shape trading conditions.
