Wall Street’s biggest names have smashed earnings expectations, but markets? Barely a pulse. Big banks delivered some of their best numbers in years, inflation data came in right on target, and even Bitcoin got a lift.

Goldman Sachs reported $11.95 per share in earnings on revenue of $13.87 billion, far outpacing the $8.22 per share on $12.39 billion that analysts predicted. The numbers came courtesy of a sharp rebound in investment banking deals and trading revenues. Shares? Up 2.1%, but don’t let that fool you. The broader market barely cared.

JPMorgan Chase, another Wall Street giant, crushed it with $4.81 per share on $43.74 billion in revenue, leaving analysts’ $4.11 per share forecast in the dust. Strong performances in fixed-income and investment banking did the heavy lifting. Shares climbed over 1%, but again, the market seemed to yawn.

Wells Fargo came in swinging too, reporting an adjusted $1.42 per share that beat the $1.35 analysts had penciled in. The bank’s shares jumped 3.2%, boosted by a projection of net interest income rising 1-3% in 2025 compared to last year.

Citigroup, on the other hand, pulled off a comeback. After a rough patch, Citi swung back into profitability, posting $1.34 per share on $19.58 billion in revenue. Analysts were betting on $1.22 per share and $19.49 billion in revenue, so the bank exceeded expectations. Shares surged more than 3%.

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, also flexed its muscles. Fourth-quarter earnings came in at $11.93 per share on $5.68 billion in revenue, ahead of forecasts. The stock popped 3.7%.

Share link:In this post: Researchers at CERN used a process called transmutation to turn to lead into gold. The amount produced was too small to be considered valuable, but the results could lead to better experiments. This isn’t the first time modern scientists have used science to create gold.
