Coming into today, shares of the investment bank had gained 0.22% in the past month. In that same time, the Finance sector lost 1.05%, while the S&P 500 gained 0.16%.
Wall Street will be looking for positivity from GS as it approaches its next earnings report date.

Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $10.37 billion, down 3.84% from the year-ago period.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $52.72 per share and revenue of $54.45 billion. These totals would mark changes of +113.1% and +22.21%, respectively, from last year.

Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
