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. shares traded at $1,039.42, reflecting a daily decline of approximately 1.91% per SID market data. Over the trailing one-month period, the stock has declined 9.5%, though it has posted a gain of 9.13% over three months and a robust 29.95% increase over the past twelve months. Technically, GS trades below its 50-day moving average of $1,054.51 but remains well above its 200-day moving average of $946.55, indicating longer-term upward momentum despite near-term softness. The 14-day relative strength index stands at 45.8, placing the stock in neutral territory without signaling overbought or oversold conditions. Goldman Sachs carries a beta of 1.348, per Massive/Polygon data, confirming higher volatility relative to the broader market. The company's market capitalization stands at approximately $285.8 billion, with average daily trading volume of roughly 1.99 million shares.

Goldman Sachs Valuation Analysis

Goldman Sachs currently trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 16.92, according to SID market data, positioning it within a moderate valuation range for the Financial Services sector. The PEG ratio stands at approximately 2.00, suggesting that the stock's earnings growth rate relative to its P/E multiple reflects a fully valued profile at current price levels. The price-to-book ratio registers at 2.27, per SEC filings, indicating that shares trade at more than double the company's book value per share — a premium historically associated with Goldman's strong return on equity and franchise value. The firm offers a dividend yield of 1.54%, providing a modest income component for shareholders. Taken together, these metrics suggest Goldman Sachs commands a valuation premium relative to book value while maintaining an earnings multiple that reflects the cyclical nature of its investment banking and trading-driven revenue model.

Smart Money Activity for GS

Goldman Sachs registers a composite smart money score of 34 out of 100, generating a bearish signal per SID market data. Institutional positioning scores a perfect 25 out of 25, reflecting strong continued ownership by major asset managers as documented in 13F institutional filings. However, other components paint a less favorable picture. The insider activity score sits at 0.0 out of 25, with SEC Form 4 filings revealing 14 insider transactions over the past 90 days — comprising 4 purchases against 10 sales. This sell-to-buy ratio of 2.5-to-1 among corporate insiders indicates a notable imbalance favoring dispositions. Dark pool activity scores 5.7 out of 25, suggesting limited accumulation through off-exchange venues. Congressional trading activity registers at 3.5 out of 25, reflecting minimal recent legislative trading interest. The divergence between robust institutional ownership and weak insider sentiment creates a mixed signal that warrants monitoring, particularly given the elevated insider selling pace during the most recent quarter.

Goldman Sachs Earnings Outlook

Goldman Sachs has demonstrated a consistent pattern of exceeding analyst expectations across its recent quarterly results. In the most recent reported quarter, the firm delivered earnings per share of $20.98 against a consensus estimate of $14.10, representing a positive surprise of $6.88, or approximately 48.8%, according to company earnings reports. The prior quarter showed EPS of $17.55 versus an estimate of $16.37, a beat of $1.18. In the quarter ending January 2026, Goldman posted EPS of $14.01 compared to estimates of $11.66, exceeding expectations by $2.35. The upcoming quarter carries a consensus analyst estimate of $14.25 per share, with results expected on January 19. Across the three reported quarters, Goldman Sachs has beaten estimates by an average of $3.47 per share, reflecting strong execution in its core investment banking, trading, and asset management divisions during a period of elevated capital markets activity.

Wall Street Analyst Ratings for GS

Recent Wall Street coverage of Goldman Sachs reflects a predominantly neutral-to-cautious stance among sell-side analysts. On August 3, UBS maintained its Neutral rating on GS, per SID consensus data, while HSBC upgraded the stock to Hold from Reduce on July 21, representing the only directional change among recent actions. Evercore ISI Group maintained its Outperform rating on July 17, standing as the sole bullish outlier in the latest coverage cycle. BMO Capital maintained its Market Perform rating on the same date, and Citigroup reiterated its Neutral stance on July 16. Of the five most recent analyst actions, three carry neutral ratings, one holds a bearish-leaning Hold designation, and one maintains an Outperform view, according to Wall Street analyst reports. The consensus tilt toward neutral positioning suggests analysts broadly view Goldman Sachs as fairly valued near current levels following its approximately 30% gain over the trailing twelve-month period.
