Goldman Sachs earned USD 1.43 billion after paying dividends on preferred shares, down slightly from USD 1.46 billion in the same period a year earlier.
That worked out to USD 2.88 per share, up from USD 2.85 per share last year and beating the USD 2.44 per share expected by financial analysts.

The bank increased its dividend to 55 cents per share from 50 cents.
