Goldman Sachs reported a strong Q3 with EPS beating by 30% and revenue surging 23%, driven by asset and wealth management growth. This stands in stark contrast to JPMorgan's revenue miss and Wells Fargo's slide, indicating a split in the banking sector where fee-based income is outperforming net interest income. Investors are likely to favor Goldman's model over traditional lending-heavy banks as credit costs rise.
