Overweight -> Neutral
Reason
JPMorgan downgraded Goldman Sachs (GS) to Neutral from Overweight with a price target of $750, up from $625. The firm has been positive on global investment banks for a while now, noting such banks have seen material EPS upgrades and multiple expansion. While JPMorgan is willing to pay a premium for Tier 1 players like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley (MS), the current valuation of 14x for Goldman and 15.2x for Morgan Stanley on its 2027 forecasts looks too high a premium of roughly 80% versus European IBs, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The firm continues with its preference for Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley in the U.S.

Keefe Bruyette analyst Christopher McGratty raised the firm's price target on Goldman Sachs to $870 from $850 and keeps a Market Perform rating on the shares. The near-term fundamental outlook remains strong with elevated M&A volumes, increased CEO confidence, and elevated client engagement, while greater regulatory clarity provide a medium-term catalyst for normalizing capital levels and further improving Goldman's ROTCE, the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Freedom Capital upgraded Goldman Sachs to Hold from Sell with a price target of $794, up from $633, after the bank delivered "strong results" for Q3. The main drivers were the recovery of investment banking activity, an increase in fee income from asset management, and stable results in trading, notes the analyst, who cites an improved earnings forecasts and favorable sector environment for its raised rating and target.
