Analysts are likely to have many questions for Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, and one of the most pressing is sure to be at the top of their list.
Last week, JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup both experienced a dramatic decrease in investment banking revenue of nearly 60% during the fourth quarter, leaving many to wonder if a recovery will occur in the near future. The dismal performance of the two Wall Street rivals has caused many analysts to question the likelihood of a rebound in the coming months.

Additionally, they will be interested in learning more about the bank’s consumer operations, as it has recently scaled back its ambitions in that area.
