Betsy Graseck’s rating is based on a combination of strategic initiatives and market conditions surrounding Goldman Sachs. The recent collaboration between Goldman Sachs and T. Rowe Price aims to enhance distribution capabilities and access to private market investments, which is a positive development for the firm. However, the impact of this partnership is expected to materialize over the long term, with products anticipated to hit the market by mid-2026.
Additionally, Goldman Sachs’ planned investment of up to $1 billion in T. Rowe Price’s common stock is relatively small compared to its overall financial size, suggesting that while strategic, it may not significantly alter the company’s financial standing in the short term. The lack of a specified timeline for these stock purchases adds an element of uncertainty. These factors combined lead to a Hold rating, reflecting a balanced view of potential growth and existing risks.
