Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

The Goldman Sachs Group
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.:

  • The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. recently reported third-quarter earnings that significantly exceeded market expectations, with earnings per share of $17.01 beating the consensus estimate of $12.86, while revenue of $18.68 billion also surpassed the forecast of $16.83 billion, demonstrating strong operational performance and profitability.
  • Wall Street is positioning for a wave of large initial public offerings, which suggests expectations for stronger investment-banking and underwriting activity, a core revenue driver for The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. that could further boost earnings in the coming quarters.
  • Valuation analysis indicates that The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. shares still look inexpensive relative to the returns the company earns on invested capital, supporting the view that recent share-price appreciation is backed by fundamental business performance rather than just speculative valuation.
  • The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. is actively participating in high-profile capital markets transactions, including marketing part of a large financing package for GPU purchases and securing a role in a $270 million stablecoin venture with other major banks, highlighting its leadership in emerging financial technologies.
  • At the current stock price of $910.40, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. offers a dividend yield of 2.16%, providing a steady income stream for investors while the company maintains a strong return on equity of 20.21%.

The Goldman Sachs Group
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. for these reasons:

  • Recent earnings analysis suggests that The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.'s capital-buffer cushion has fallen from 3.4 percentage points to 1.0 point over nine months, which could reduce the company's financial headroom and concern investors about its risk management.
  • Exchange-traded funds were net sellers of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. shares on November 5, indicating near-term fund-flow pressure that could weigh on the stock price despite positive fundamental news.
  • Insiders have been selling shares, with CEO David M. Solomon selling 12,000 shares in late October and other executives also reducing their stakes, which may signal a lack of confidence in the stock's near-term upside from those closest to the company.
  • The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. has a debt-to-equity ratio of 3.20, which is relatively high and could increase financial risk if interest rates remain elevated or if the company faces unexpected losses in its lending or trading businesses.
  • Despite strong recent performance, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. is trading below its 50-day moving average of $929.87 and 200-day moving average of $956.36, suggesting that the stock may be in a short-term downtrend or facing technical resistance.
