The Goldman Sachs Group (GS) is making waves in the finance sector this year, consistently outpacing its peers. The stock has seen a strong performance with a year-to-date gain of 19%, despite minor fluctuations. Significant portion of the company's shares, around 71%, continue to be held by institutional investors, signaling strong backing and trust in its outlook and performance. Looking at the longer-term view, investors in GS over the past five years would have seen significant returns, up 168% and 121% respectively.
However, GS’s path hasn't been without speedbumps. There were instances when the stock trailed behind broader market gains. The largely institutional ownership also means high situation risk. On the brighter side, GS recently became the first Wall Street bank to receive a Saudi HQ license, further expanding its global footprint. Additionally, GS raised over $20B to invest in private credit, expressing confidence in the private debt market. However, concerns are raised on the sustainability of GS's revenue, leading to downgrade to Sell
At the cutting edge of innovation, GS is seeking to expand its private credit portfolio to $300B in five years, leveraging its robust trading and investment banking performance to fuel growth. On repurposing strategy, GS closed down Marcus Invest after acquiring Betterment.
