Goldman Sachs (GS) has received a generally positive outlook from analysts, underscoring its robust financial performance despite recent market fluctuations. The firm reported impressive earnings, with a notable 10% decline over the past month attributed to broader market dynamics and Federal Reserve decisions. Experts highlight GS's strength in investment banking, particularly its advisory and IPO capabilities, which positions the firm well for future opportunities. Additionally, analysts point to GS's increasing dividend payout as a sign of its strong financial health. Overall, many experts believe that GS is well-poised to benefit from the evolving financial landscape, marked by rising interest rates and a resurgence in M&A activities.

JPM, JPM
BUY

They have an investor day Tuesday. Likes it for its 10x earnings, as low as it will get, because the capital markets business is dead.

DON'T BUY

They bought off more than they can chew, and this year will see retrenchment by cutting expenses. Shares will be rangebound for a while.  Comare their asset management business to Morgan Stanley's, which is performing far better. GS needs to fix this.

HOLD

They'll likely change their CEO, but that signifies nothing. Their last quarter wasn't good and they admitted they made mistakes, but he'd remain long on GS.

BUY ON WEAKNESS
It's down because of an idiotic investigation into the bank. He took advantage of this dip and added to his position.
DON'T BUY
Great trading bank. It's so cyclical, she's always avoided it. To secure more recurring revenue, diversifying into asset and wealth management but this is costing money. Revenues and profits dried up last quarter, pending a slowdown.
BUY
They report Tuesday. If they put up good numbers, GS could soar. Trading at only 10s PE. The investment banking business can't stay down forever IPOs and mergers will return.
PARTIAL BUY

Though he's bearish long term, an investor can nibble away here. Small caps are a good place to be, because of less exposure to the strong US dollar. Also, supply chain woes are easing. So, he has been adding to Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and Morgan Stanley. The market can move higher (short term). Caveat: Gas prices are up again, and inflation remains ridiculously high.

WEAK BUY
He owns MS instead, especially likes its wealth management. GS has tried to get into retail side, but hard to get into fintech side at this point. Both very good operators. He wouldn't object too strenuously if you chose GS.
BUY
Very consistent track record of making money. Large generator of free cash flow. Return on equity is strong. Trading at book value with ~3% dividend.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jul 07/22, Up 11.5%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK is progressing well. We now recommend trailing up the stop (from $236) to $310.
BUY
has many qualities of Morgan Stanley, but less focused on wealth management and more into capital markets, which has been poor. But GS always finds a way. Their fixed income commodity trading has been doing well and the bond market has come to life recently. Their last report beat the street, very strong. Trades at a cheap price-to-book. For the next 5 years, GS is a good option.
DON'T BUY
Too volatile in their proprietary trading and public market activity. That's he sold this to buy JPM.
BUY
This can go higher, recently from $275 to $330.
BUY
Buy US banks? He's very bullish on the money-centered banks. Global banks are all down, so now is a good buying opportunity. They're down because the are exposed to investment banking. There is less M&A and few IPOs coming, so these revenues are certainly down. Secondly, the yield curve is flat to inverted, so net interest margins are squeezed. However, this is a short-term cyclical problem that will self-correct. These banks pay good dividends and offer good free cash flow at low PE's. What are you waiting for?
