GOLDMAN SACHS BEATS

Goldman Sachs reported fourth quarter earnings for 2014 on Monday.

Earnings per share came in at $4.38 with net revenue coming in at $&.69 billion.

Analysts expected earnings of $4.32 per share and revenue of $7.64 billion for the quarter.

That's a beat.

So far this earnings season the story has been big losses in trading revenue across Wall Street banks, and a continued battering down by legal fees.

Goldman Sachs just bucked that dismal trend.
