Other notable figures and Cramer’s remarks
At 10.6%, return on equity was down from last year’s 24%. It was well below the medium-term target of roughly 15% as well. For credit loss provisions, Goldman Sachs set aside $667 million versus $92 million of reserve release in the same quarter of 2021.
It lost $221 million in equity investments but noted a 34% increase in the loan book. Discussing the earnings report on CNBC’s “Squawk on the Street”, Jim Cramer said:
I’m astonished that Goldman Sachs could make this much money. We’re seeing unbelievable bank numbers. People have to accept the fact that the consumer is so strong. So, we’re just not seeing a recession.
Wall Street currently rates Goldman Sachs at “overweight” and sees a close to 30% upside from here on average.
