Wall Street’s largest banks are expected to report close to $19 billion in combined equities trading revenue for the third quarter when they release earnings next week, according to the Odaily news brief. Analyst estimates compiled as of the New York market close on Thursday point to Goldman Sachs leading the group with projected equities trading revenue of $5.1 billion. Morgan Stanley is expected to follow at $4.9 billion, with JPMorgan projected at $4.5 billion and Bank of America at $2.6 billion. The report said the gap in performance between banks is starting to widen as activity in capital markets cools. That marks a contrast with the first half of the year, when the five largest U.S. banks broadly benefited from a trading boom and both equities and fixed-income desks stayed busy. Goldman Sachs is scheduled to release earnings next Tuesday.

That differs from the first half of the year, when the five biggest U.S. banks broadly benefited from a trading boom and both equities and fixed-income trading desks remained busy.
