Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) last closed at $1,039.61, in the upper half of its 52-week range of $705.55–$1,153.99. Composite market sentiment across 1 analysis is neutral (0 on a −100 to +100 scale), as of Aug 10, 2026.

## What the data says

Goldman Sachs closed at $1,039.61, roughly 47% above its 52-week low of $705.55 and about 10% below its high of $1,153.99. That places the stock in the upper quarter of a range that spans more than $448 — a wide band for a company of this size, and one that reflects how much ground the shares have covered over the past year rather than a stock that has held a narrow zone.

At a market capitalization near $302 billion, the shares trade at about 16 times trailing earnings and roughly 14 times forward estimates, meaning the market expects earnings to be higher a year out than they have been over the trailing period. Price to book sits near 2.8, a notable premium to stated balance-sheet value for a capital markets firm. The underlying figures show a 31% profit margin and revenue growth of 42.5%, so the business is converting a large share of its top line into profit and has been expanding quickly. A beta of 1.29 indicates the stock has historically moved somewhat more than the broad market in both directions, which is consistent with a business whose advisory, underwriting, and trading revenues are tied to market activity levels. The dividend yield is 1.92%.

The recent news flow contains nothing specific to Goldman Sachs itself. The headlines instead cover the wider market and other sectors: a decline in Tesla and SpaceX valuations, index declines tied to geopolitical tensions and a selloff in chip stocks, OPEC+ output decisions and Brent crude moving above $100, fuel cells for data centers, and an industrial stock's multi-year run. For a firm whose results depend on deal volumes and trading conditions, this is background rather than direct company news — the coverage describes the market environment the business operates in, not developments at the company.
