That would reflect a 36% decline from its EPS of $8.25 a year earlier.
The company's third-quarter results will be depressed by writedowns of $300 million to $350 million on its commercial real estate assets, analysts wrote, after it set aside $485 million in the second quarter.Goldman Sachs declined to comment ahead of its earnings. CEO David Solomon is scaling down the company's consumer business after it lost $3 billion over three years.
Goldman shares slipped 0.6% on Wednesday to close at about $313 a share. They have fallen almost 9% this year.
