Goldman Sachs Bets on M&A Fees, Faces Higher Costs Ahead in Q4 2025
Goldman Sachs is slated to report Q4 2025 on January 15, with expected EPS of $11.70 and revenue of about $14.32 billion; stronger advisory fees from mergers and acquisitions could help, but weaker private-banking revenue and higher compensation costs may weigh on margins. Analysts show a mixed view, with a roughly 3.6% post-earnings move anticipated and a Moderate Buy consensus, while AI analysis points to upside above $1,060 despite the stock’s rally.
