Read MoreHide Full Article
In the latest trading session, Goldman Sachs (GS - Free Report) closed at $388.05, marking a +0.58% move from the previous day. This change outpaced the S&P 500's 0.41% gain on the day.
Prior to today's trading, shares of the investment bank had lost 5.97% over the past month. This has lagged the Finance sector's loss of 1.6% and the S&P 500's loss of 4.08% in that time.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from GS as it approaches its next earnings report date. In that report, analysts expect GS to post earnings of $9.71 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 0.31%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $11.25 billion, up 4.3% from the year-ago period.
For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $53.19 per share and revenue of $55.08 billion, which would represent changes of +115% and +23.61%, respectively, from the prior year.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for GS. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
