Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 25 days.
The thesis — published November 14, 2025
Goldman Sachs looks set for a short-term rebound. Recent results were solid, with adjusted profit of $12.25 and investment banking fees up 42%, which improved investor mood. After a dip that made the stock look temporarily cheap, a buy on weakness makes sense, then consider adding if the price moves above $805 with stronger trading activity, as deal-making and trading are picking up into the next quarter.
Primary drivers
- Q3 was strong; investment banking fees rose 42%, lifting overall results
- Recent pullback looks overdone, and buying interest has turned positive
- More deals and listings returning, boosting banking and trading work
- Investor confidence improved after the earnings report and recent updates
