Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $13.5 billion, up 6.01% from the year-ago period.
GS's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $44.16 per share and revenue of $55.43 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +8.93% and +3.59%, respectively.
Investors should also pay attention to any latest changes in analyst estimates for Goldman Sachs. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. With this in mind, we can consider positive estimate revisions a sign of optimism about the business outlook.
