Goldman Sachs stock (ISIN US38141G1040) was last at USD 897.15 on the NYSE on October 5, 2026, down 0.60 percent from the prior close. The next checkpoint is the bank's third-quarter report on October 13, 2026, according to Zacks.

Goldman Sachs enters earnings week

The upcoming report follows a record second quarter. Goldman Sachs said in its investor-relations update dated July 14, 2026, that diluted earnings per common share reached USD 20.98 and annualized return on common equity was 23.5 percent, linking the result to the latest completed reporting period.

The latest quarterly revenue was USD 20.34 billion and net income was USD 6.63 billion for Q2 2026, according to Yahoo Finance. The Q2 EPS figure exceeded the USD 14.47 consensus cited in the same report by USD 6.51, a 45.0 percent surprise.

Analysts see a wide valuation gap

The consensus is Neutral across 25 analysts, with 7 Buy ratings, 16 Holds and 2 Sells, according to Investing.com. Its average 12-month price target is USD 1,116.75, while the high and low targets are USD 1,300 and USD 730.

Against the USD 897.15 NYSE price, the average target lies 24.6 percent above the share price. That gap puts the earnings release in a sharper test: the market will compare the forecast Q3 diluted EPS of USD 15.37 with the bank's Q2 result and watch whether trading and investment-banking activity support the estimate.

UBS keeps a Hold rating

UBS analyst Erika Najarian maintained a Hold rating and set a USD 1,010 price target on October 5, 2026, as reported by Markets Insider. The UBS target lies 12.6 percent above the NYSE price, below the broader consensus average and highlighting the split between near-term caution and longer-term upside assumptions.
