BMO trims its target

The target reduction was part of a research note previewing third-quarter results. BMO Capital cited a darker late-quarter backdrop after a rate shock tightened financial conditions, while also arguing that compressed broker valuations reduce exposure to a cooling environment, according to Markets Insider.

Second-quarter earnings set the bar

Goldman Sachs generated USD 20.34 billion in revenue and USD 20.98 in earnings per share in the second quarter of 2026, alongside a 23.5 percent annualized return on common equity, according to Yahoo Finance. The company described those figures as records, while its investor-relations page dated the earnings release July 14, 2026 and reported the same USD 20.98 earnings per share figure, according to Goldman Sachs.

October 13 brings the next test

The next scheduled reporting date is October 13, 2026, according to Marketscreener. Goldman Sachs had a market capitalization of USD 256.5 billion as of October 7, 2026, giving the upcoming report importance beyond the modest BMO target cut.
