Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 44 days.
The thesis — published October 22, 2025
Goldman looks ready for a short-term bounce after a pullback. Some short-term signs suggest the slide is easing, even though the recent average price is still drifting down, so buying in steps makes sense. The story is improving: fees from advising on deals rose 42 percent, giving better visibility on profits. Over the next 0-3 months, a rebuild in momentum and cash returns could lift shares, but headlines can still shake them.
Primary drivers
- Deal-making fees jumped 42 percent, pointing to stronger profit ahead.
- Short-term signs hint at a rebound after the recent price pullback.
- Buybacks and dividends can raise how investors value the stock.
- Big-picture news can move bank shares quickly; stay alert.
