Goldman Sachs (US38141G1040) is one of the best-known financial stocks in the S&P 500 and trades on the NYSE under the ticker GS. Consensus data for the Wall Street bank show a predominantly constructive analyst view with average 12-month price targets still implying upside from current levels, according to MarketScreener.

What analysts are signaling

Available consensus snapshots for Goldman Sachs focus on the US-listed shares and aggregate views from major houses such as JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley, UBS and others. Around two-thirds of analysts in the 2026 overview rate GS at Buy, with most of the remainder at Hold, reflecting a positive stance on the bank’s earnings power and capital return profile.

MarketScreener data compiled for 2026 show an average target price meaningfully above the last quoted level of around 1,106 US dollars, pointing to implied upside even after the strong run in the stock. The highest published target in the snapshot reaches above 1,150 US dollars, while the lowest still sits close to the current trading range, underscoring a broadly supportive view.

Goldman Sachs in the US banking peer group

Goldman Sachs competes in the US large-cap banking and investment banking segment alongside peers such as JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley, all three listed on the NYSE and members of the S&P 500. At a recent price of about 1,106.37 US dollars per share as of the 2026-06-22 close, Goldman Sachs commands a market capitalization above 370 billion US dollars, putting it among the largest global financial institutions.

Price data from stockscan.io show GS closing regular trading at 1,106.37 US dollars, with after-hours indications only marginally lower at 1,105.92 US dollars, a move of less than 0.1 percent. This muted after-hours pattern fits a picture of relatively steady trading after a period of strong gains, but the consensus overview still suggests room for further appreciation over a 12-month horizon.

How the bank earns its money

Goldman Sachs generates revenue through a diversified investment banking and financial services model, combining advisory fees, trading and principal investments, and wealth and asset management income. A representative business line is its global investment banking franchise, where the group advises corporate and government clients on mergers and acquisitions, equity and debt offerings and restructuring transactions, charging advisory and underwriting fees for these services.
