The fixed-income trading revenue was the highest in nine years - $4.24 billion. Simultaneously, the revenue from equities trading was the best in 11 years - $2.94 billion.
A record was also the investment banking revenue with $2.66 billion.
The quarterly dividend is still at $1.25/share.
This year, the stocks fell 7%, and USA30 slipped 6.6%. After the results came in, the stock price gained 4%. At the same time, USA30 added 1.7%, while USA500 went up 1.3%. TECH100 rose 0.9%.
