Shares of Goldman Sachs ran up into record territory Thursday as investors focused on a big earnings beat fueled by strength in investment banking, and on upbeat comments about corporate buyout activity given the current favorable regulatory environment.
The banking giant’s stock GS had initially dropped after fourth-quarter results were reported, by as much as 2.4% at the premarket low, as revenue declined from a year ago for the first time in nine quarters, snapping a 10-quarter streak of beating expectations, to mark the end of the Apple Card saga.
