Goldman Sachs profit is a Wall Street record And for employees: An average $622,000 By John Holusha Published: December 12, 2006 NEW YORK: Bouyed by massive gains from trading and investments in leveraged buyouts, Goldman Sachs on Tuesday announced the biggest profit in Wall Street history, allowing it to reward eligible employees with an average annual compensation of about $622,000. The investment banking company that is the leading adviser in corporate mergers and acquisitions said it earned $9.34 billion this year. In its fiscal fourth quarter, which ended Nov. 24, profit increased 93 percent over the year before to $3.16 billion, or $6.59 a share, exceeding most analysts' forecasts. Goldman will set aside $16.5 billion for salaries, bonuses and benefits, or an average of $622,000 for each employee, although much larger payments usually go to the bankers who arrange business deals or sell corporate stock to investors than to other kinds of employees. The bonuses at Goldman and those expected at other Wall Street companies are expected to lift the economy in the New York area, particularly in sales of high-end residential real estate, luxury cars and other pricey goods. "When these guys learn what their bonuses are, we are among the first people they call," said Pamela Liebman, chief executive of Corcoran Group, a residential brokerage. "They call their mothers and then their real estate brokers." Liebman said that investment bankers "work hard and want to live well" and that they were usually interested in buying a luxury apartment in Manhattan or a second or third residence elsewhere. She said her agency was already getting calls in advance of the bonus announcements this year and that the interest was not limited to the top executives of Wall Street brokerage houses. "Even the junior guys want to spend their bonuses on residential real estate," she said. Two years ago, BMW of Manhattan opened a showroom at 57 Wall St., so that investment bankers would not have to take the time to travel uptown to its main sales and service operation about six miles, or 10 kilometers, away. At the time, Jeffrey Falk, the president of the dealership, said the intention was to get physically closer to potential customers. "This is part of a strategy we have been developing over the past two years to make it more convenient for our demographic," he said. Speaking Tuesday, he said there had been an increased level of what he called "pre-shopping" at the Wall Street showroom, based on anticipated bonuses. "They are shopping now and talking to salesmen based on what they think their bonus will be," Falk said. "Then in January and February, we'll get the orders." This was the third consecutive year of record-breaking earnings for Goldman, which is the world's largest securities company as measured by the total market value of its stock. And the company appears positioned to continue growing in its crucial investment banking business. The company said its backlog of merger and underwriting deals was larger at the end of November than it was at the end of August . Rising stock prices generally, an active market in fee-generating business deals and gains on investments, many of them in Asia, are expected to make this year exceptionally profitable for many other Wall Street companies as well. |
