Goldman Sachs beats estimates

Goldman Sachs easily beat analysts' estimates for earnings and revenue in the third quarter, bouncing back from a loss in the same period a year ago. The company also said yesterday that it would raise its dividend.

Net income for common shareholders was US$1.5 billion, or US$2.85 per share. Analysts had been predicting US$2.19 per share, according to FactSet. Revenue also beat estimates, breezing past the US$7.2 billion forecast by analysts and more than doubling to US$8.4 billion from US$3.6 billion a year earlier.

The investment bank enjoyed big jumps in revenue from underwriting stock and bond offerings, a tentative sign that companies are more willing to take risks like going public.
