Earnings Preview: MOrgan Stanley (MS) vs. Goldman Sachs (GS)
Read MoreHide Full Article
It has been a downright awful time to be in the financial sector, though most investors have been focused in on the banking side of the important business segment. However, those in the broker-dealer industry, like Goldman Sachs (GS - Free Report) or Morgan Stanley (MS - Free Report) , have been under pressure too.
These two financial giants are actually both down more than 22% over the past year, though they have made some strides in recent trading sessions. Still, the space at large, represented by the ETF IAI, is down double digits from a one year look, so it has been pretty bleak all-around. Can either GS or MS break the trend?
Well, GS currently doesn’t have an earnings ESP while the stock has a Zacks Rank #3 (hold). It does, however, have a ‘D’ VGM score suggesting that fundamentals aren’t great for this name right now.
Meanwhile, MS also is facing some big headwinds, while its shares also trade with a Zacks Rank #3 (hold). This stock has an even worse outlook for fundamentals as it has an ‘F’ VGM score include a ‘D’ grade for Value and an ‘F’ grade for Growth.
Both of these stocks are struggling heading into the report and there are question marks for both. Make sure to watch the video for a more in-depth discussion, and highlights of which company may be better positioned to deliver a beat this earnings season.
