Betsy Graseck’s rating is based on a combination of factors that suggest a balanced outlook for Goldman Sachs Group. The company has shown strong financial performance, with a notable 10% earnings per share (EPS) beat driven by significant growth in Equities Trading, M&A Advisory, and FICC trading. However, despite these positive results, the stock’s performance has been somewhat volatile, reflecting high market expectations and uncertainty about future growth potential.
Betsy Graseck has also considered the valuation of Goldman Sachs, noting that the stock appears fully valued at a 13x price-to-earnings ratio based on 2026 EPS estimates. While there is meaningful upside potential, the current valuation suggests limited room for significant appreciation in the near term. Consequently, the Hold rating reflects a cautious stance, balancing the company’s strong earnings performance against its current market valuation and future growth uncertainties.
In another report released yesterday, KBW also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $790.00 price target.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 37 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is neutral on the stock.
