Goldman Sachs Profit Falls 53%
Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the world's biggest securities firm by market value, reported a smaller-than-estimated 53 percent drop in first-quarter profit after asset writedowns and lower fees from investment banking.

Net income fell to $1.51 billion, or $3.23 a share, in the three months ended Feb. 29 from $3.2 billion, or $6.67, a year earlier, the New York-based firm said in a statement today. The average estimate of 17 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg was for $2.59 a share, with forecasts ranging from $1.95 to $3.40.
