Goldman Sachs shares declined in pre-market trade on Thursday, following the release of disappointing second quarter earnings results.
The largest U.S. investment bank said earnings per share came in at $4.75, compared to expectations for earnings of $3.84 a share and up from $4.10 a share a year earlier. Second quarter revenue totaled $9.07 billion, down 0.5% from the same period a year earlier.
Goldman reported its highest first half net revenues in five years, reflecting record first half results in Investment Banking and Investment Management.
