Overview

Company profile and research snapshot.

Company profile

Goldman Sachs is a storied financial institution, founded in 1869 and best known for its role as a leading global investment bank. The firm has a sprawling reach across global financial centers and has been the leading provider of global merger and acquisition advisory services, by revenue, for the past 20 years. Since the global financial crisis, Goldman has expanded its offerings into more stable fee-based businesses like asset and wealth management, which comprised roughly 30% of post-provision revenue at the end of 2024. The bank holding company generates revenue from investment banking, global market making and trading, lending, asset management, wealth management, and a small and declining portfolio of consumer credit card loans.

Goldman Sachs Stock Performance

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. has experienced notable downward pressure across multiple timeframes, with shares trading at $897.18, reflecting a daily decline of approximately 1.91% per SID market data. Over the trailing one-month period, GS has dropped 13.92%, while the three-month return stands at negative 14.34%, indicating sustained selling momentum. On a one-year basis, the stock has declined a modest 0.62%, erasing nearly all prior gains. Technically, GS trades significantly below both its 50-day moving average of $1,000.43 and its 200-day moving average of $954.53, confirming a bearish trend structure according to Massive/Polygon data. The 14-day relative strength index registers at 27.0, placing the stock in oversold territory. The company's beta of 1.348 indicates higher sensitivity to broader market movements, and average daily volume stands at approximately 1.99 million shares. Goldman Sachs currently holds a market capitalization of roughly $285.8 billion.

Goldman Sachs Valuation Analysis

Goldman Sachs currently trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 16.92, positioning it within a moderate valuation range for the Financial Services sector per SID market data. The PEG ratio stands at 1.996, suggesting the stock is trading near fair value relative to its expected earnings growth trajectory. The price-to-book ratio of 2.27 indicates investors are paying roughly 2.27 times the company's book value per share, a metric closely watched for financial institutions according to SEC filings. Goldman Sachs offers a dividend yield of 1.54%, providing a modest income component for shareholders. With the stock trading well below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, the current valuation multiples reflect the recent price compression. Relative to historical norms for large-cap investment banks, the P/E ratio has contracted alongside the broader pullback, aligning the valuation closer to levels that may attract value-oriented institutional investors within the financial sector.

Smart Money Activity for GS

Goldman Sachs registers a composite smart money score of 41 out of 100, producing a Neutral signal per SID market data. Institutional positioning scores a perfect 25 out of 25, reflecting robust ownership and continued commitment from major asset managers according to 13F institutional filings. In contrast, the insider activity component scores 0.0 out of 25, reflecting an unfavorable balance of recent transactions. Over the past 90 days, SEC Form 4 filings reveal 11 insider trades, comprising 4 purchases and 7 sales, indicating that company executives and directors have been net sellers during this period. Dark pool activity scores 7.3 out of 25, suggesting limited accumulation through off-exchange venues. Congressional trading activity registers at 8.9 out of 25, indicating modest legislative interest in the stock. The divergence between strong institutional conviction and insider net selling presents a mixed picture, with institutional holders maintaining large positions while insiders have modestly reduced their personal exposure during the recent price decline.

Goldman Sachs Earnings Outlook

Goldman Sachs has delivered consecutive earnings beats in its two most recently reported quarters according to company earnings reports. In the quarter reported in July 2026, the firm posted earnings per share of $20.98 against a consensus estimate of $14.10, representing a positive surprise of $6.88, or approximately 48.8% above expectations. The prior quarter, reported in April 2026, showed EPS of $17.55 versus the $16.37 estimate, delivering a $1.18 positive surprise. Looking ahead, analyst estimates project EPS of $14.25 for the quarter with results expected in January 2026, while the October 2026 quarter carries a consensus estimate of $14.10 per analyst estimates. The pattern of substantial upside surprises suggests Goldman Sachs has maintained operational momentum that has consistently exceeded Wall Street modeling assumptions. The upcoming reporting periods will test whether the firm can sustain this outperformance amid the current macroeconomic environment.

Wall Street Analyst Ratings for GS

Recent Wall Street analyst activity on Goldman Sachs reflects a mixed but moderately constructive consensus per SID consensus data. In October 2026, BMO Capital reiterated its Market Perform rating, while UBS maintained a Neutral stance, both signaling a hold-equivalent positioning. Evercore ISI Group reiterated its Outperform rating on October 1, representing one of the more bullish views among recent coverage. HSBC maintained its Hold rating on September 28, and Wells Fargo reiterated its Overweight rating on September 25, according to Wall Street analyst reports. Across these five most recent ratings actions, two firms hold bullish equivalent ratings (Outperform and Overweight), while three maintain neutral or hold-equivalent positions. Notably, none of the recent analyst actions involved downgrades, with all five reiterating prior ratings, suggesting that despite the stock's 14.34% three-month decline, analysts have not materially shifted their fundamental assessments of Goldman Sachs. The absence of any Sell-equivalent ratings is notable given the recent price weakness.
