Other earnings, excluding one-time gains or charges unless noted, include:

* Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s fiscal second-quarter earnings rose 13% to $755 million, or $1.48 a share, as gains in investment banking and stock trading helped offset a loss from its portfolio of about $3 billion of fledgling companies. The investing loss, which the firm had warned would curb profits, cut revenue by $321 million, reducing earnings by 19 cents a share. Goldman weathered the loss thanks to a 58% surge in investment banking revenue to $1.59 billion. Revenue from arranging stock and bond sales rose 79% to $882 million. Overall, net revenue rose 20% to $4.15 billion. Goldman shares fell $2.63 to close at $89 on the NYSE, possibly on concerns that the market may soon become flooded with Goldman shares a year after the 131-year-old company’s initial public offering. After a year ban, Goldman employees are freed to trade some 6 million shares starting today.
