The average revenue estimate is $71.24 billion, with a range of $68.39 billion to $74.37 billion. While specific price targets are not provided, the EPS estimates imply a forward P/E of 14.4x based on the average EPS, suggesting upside from the current 15.75x forward P/E. The consensus appears positive, with recent ratings from firms like Wells Fargo (Overweight) and Barclays (Overweight), though JP Morgan maintains a Neutral stance.

The high estimate of $77.36 implies strong earnings growth, likely driven by a rebound in investment banking and trading.

GS Technical Analysis
Goldman Sachs is in a sustained uptrend, with the stock up 48.8% over the past year, significantly outperforming the S&P 500's 20.6% gain. The current price of $1,055.18 sits at 93.8% of its 52-week range ($691.30–$1,125.00), indicating strong momentum near the highs but also potential overextension. This positioning near the top of the range suggests bullish sentiment, though it may also imply limited near-term upside without a catalyst. Short-term momentum is accelerating, with a 1-month gain of 5.4% and a 3-month gain of 16.2%, both outpacing the S&P 500's respective returns of 4.1% and 11.1%. The relative strength index (RSI) is not provided, but the consistent upward move from the March low of $782.21 to current levels reflects strong buying pressure. The 1-month trend aligns with the longer-term uptrend, confirming positive momentum. Key support lies near the 52-week low of $691.30, while resistance is at the 52-week high of $1,125.00. A breakout above $1,125 would signal a continuation of the uptrend, while a breakdown below $1,000 could indicate a correction. With a beta of 1.29, GS is 29% more volatile than the market, meaning larger swings in both directions, which is important for risk management.

GS Fundamental Analysis
Revenue has been relatively stable but showed a slight decline in the most recent quarter. For Q4 2025, revenue was $30.125 billion, down 6.6% year-over-year from $32.24 billion in Q4 2024. However, on a trailing twelve-month basis, revenue is $125.097 billion, and the company has maintained strong profitability. The revenue decline in Q4 was driven by lower net interest income, but investment banking fees are rebounding, as noted in recent news. The Global Markets segment generated $20.626 billion in revenue, while Investment Management contributed $9.222 billion, highlighting the diversification. Net income for Q4 2025 was $4.617 billion, up from $4.111 billion in Q4 2024, showing improved profitability despite lower revenue. Gross margin improved to 51.7% from 41.9% a year ago, reflecting better cost control and a shift toward higher-margin businesses. Operating margin was 19.4%, up from 16.3% in Q4 2024, indicating expanding profitability. The net margin of 15.3% is healthy for a bank, and the trend is positive. The balance sheet shows a debt-to-equity ratio of 4.88, which is high but typical for a bank, and a current ratio of 0.83, indicating ample liquidity. Free cash flow was negative -$16.807 billion in Q4 2025, but this is largely due to working capital changes and investment activities; the company generated positive operating cash flow of $46.766 billion in Q4 2024. ROE is 13.7%, solid for a large bank, and the company has been returning capital to shareholders via dividends and buybacks.

Valuation Analysis: Is GS Overvalued?
Since net income is positive, we use the P/E ratio as the primary valuation metric. The trailing P/E is 16.92x, while the forward P/E is 15.75x, implying the market expects earnings growth. The gap between trailing and forward P/E suggests a modest growth expectation, consistent with the rebounding investment banking environment. Compared to the industry average P/E (not provided), GS's P/E of 16.92x is likely in line with or slightly below the sector, given that large banks typically trade at 12-18x earnings. The P/B ratio of 2.20x is above book value, reflecting the premium for its brand and earnings power. The PEG ratio of 0.65x indicates the stock is undervalued relative to its growth rate, as a PEG below 1 is considered attractive. Historically, GS's trailing P/E has ranged from around 4x in 2021 to over 22x in 2023. The current 16.92x is near the middle of that range, suggesting the stock is fairly valued relative to its own history. The P/S ratio of 2.20x is low compared to historical levels above 5x, indicating potential value, but this is partly due to the revenue base being large.
