The six major US banks toppped revenue estimates provided by analysts. Similarly, all of them except Goldman Sachs saw their earnings come above analysts estimates. This indicates that the health of the banking sector is still strong. However, the banks saw their average consumer debt write offs rise by 72% year-on-year to $3.97 billion. Also, their average provisions for credit losses rose by 280% year-on-year to around $6.8 billion.
