Mixed Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

Goldman Sachs reported fourth-quarter 2025 diluted earnings per share of $14.01, up from $11.95 a year earlier, while net revenues fell 3% to $13.45 billion. For the full year, EPS was $51.32 versus $40.54 in 2024, and the board raised the quarterly dividend to $4.50 per share from $4.00. Results were shaped by Apple Card loan markdowns in Platform Solutions, which were more than offset by a $2.48 billion reserve reduction in provisions for credit losses.
