Former President Donald Trump Does Not Say If He Has Spoken To Russia's Putin Since Leaving Office, Says "If I Did It's A Smart Thing"

There are numerous types of trading and investing strategies on Wall Street. Many utilize statistics and probability theory to gain insight <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas">and make decisions.</a>
Some are based on the concept of reversion to the mean. This is why The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) is our Stock of the Day. There is a good chance that it reverses and heads lower.
The shares traded higher on Tuesday because Goldman <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41329766/goldman-sachs-q3-earnings-investment-banking-fees-surges-20-asset-wealth-management-up-16-but-fixed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blew away earnings estimates.</a> The company stated that it earned $8.40 per share, which was well ahead of the Street's expectations of $6.85.
The company also reported revenue of $12.7 billion. This was well above the estimates of $11.8 billion. The Street likes these numbers.
But the stock is trading above its typical or average trading range. This means there is a good chance it will reverse back into the range, which would mean a move lower.
The red line on the chart is called a Bollinger Band. It is two standard deviations above the 20-day moving average.

Standard deviations are a statistical measurement.
According to statistics and probability theory, 95% of all trading should fall within two standard deviations of the mean or average. If a stock or market is outside of this range, it will attract the attention of trading strategies and algorithms based on these concepts.
A reversal may be imminent.
As you can see on the chart, Goldman&#8217;s shares are trading above the Bollinger Band. They have exceeded this important threshold to the upside, and the stock is overbought.
These dynamics could bring sellers into the market because they will be expecting a reversion to the mean or a move lower. Their selling may put pressure on the shares and force them down. It could become a self-fulfilling prophecy.&nbsp;

Stock Of The Day: Goldman Sachs Blows Away Earnings, But Stock May Be Due For A Pullback

J.P. Morgan analyst Kian Abouhossein expressed the view on Goldman Sachs Group Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) third quarter financial results.
Today, the company reported revenue of&nbsp;$12.70 billion, beating the consensus of&nbsp;$11.87 billion, and EPS of&nbsp;$8.40,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41329766/goldman-sachs-q3-earnings-investment-banking-fees-surges-20-asset-wealth-management-up-16-but-fixed" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the consensus of&nbsp;$7.03</a>.
In the conference call, CEO David Solomon highlighted strong client demand and a rising deal backlog and expects alternative fundraising to exceed $60 billion in 2024.
He noted the firm remained below 10-year averages for equity and M&amp;A volumes and stressed the need to enhance margins in asset and wealth management.
Solomon also mentioned that the direction of travel at this point is &#8220;back to the core business.&#8221;
On the other hand, Goldman&#8217;s CFO stated that the General Motors credit card partnership transfer is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025.
J.P. Morgan analyst, with an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GS/analyst-ratings">Overweight rating</a>, writes that GS&#8217;s results are strong relative to the cautious guidance provided at the recent September Financials conference. Notably, Equity S&amp;T revenues reached $3.5 billion, significantly outperforming peers reported so far, with a substantial ongoing margin, adds the analyst.
Goldman Sachs has shown strength in its core franchises, and Abouhossein anticipates its shares will outperform peers.
The analyst anticipates low single-digit percentage upgrades to the consensus EPS for 2024.
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via&nbsp;Shares U.S. Broker-Dealers &amp; Securities Exchanges ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IAI#NYSE">IAI</a>) and&nbsp;Global X Funds Global X Dow 30 Covered Call ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DJIA#NYSE">DJIA</a>).

On Monday, Baxter International (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAX#NYSE">BAX</a>) said over 1,000 employees came back to work last week after the North Cove facility was shut down following significant damage <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41257734/baxters-north-carolina-facility-manufactures-60-of-iv-fluids-and-peritoneal-dialysis-solutions-s" rel="noreferrer noopener">caused by Hurricane Helene</a>.
Additionally, more than 1,000 remediation contractors are on site to assist with cleanup and recovery.

This week, the company expects 3,000 people to contribute to recovery efforts, nearly two-thirds of whom are Baxter employees.
Baxter noted that the primary focus is deep cleaning the facility, including floors and equipment, and assessing the condition of all equipment and production lines.
The first temporary bridge has already allowed the transportation of over 350 truckloads of finished products, enabling customer shipments to resume.
The dialysis device maker began shipments of intravenous products to the United States from two international facilities last week.
Last week, the FDA <a target="_blank" href="https://www.fda.gov/drugs/updates-2024-hurricane-season/hurricane-helene-baxters-manufacturing-recovery-north-carolina" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a> it is working to temporarily import some products in shortage. The FDA allowed product imports from five facilities in Canada, China, Ireland, and the U.K., and it was working to secure authorization for more sites.
As shared earlier, Baxter <a target="_blank" href="https://www.baxter.com/baxter-newsroom/hurricane-helene-updates" rel="noreferrer noopener">aims</a> to restart North Cove production in phases by the end of this year but did not share the timeline for fully restoring production to pre-hurricane levels.
North Cove is Baxter&#8217;s largest facility and is responsible for manufacturing approximately 60% of IV fluids and peritoneal dialysis solutions available to healthcare providers in the U.S.
Shipments to the U.S. from two Baxter sites that could already export products started last week, and more shipments are coming.
Price Action: BAX stock is up 0.41% at $37.06 at the last check Tuesday.

Awakn Life Sciences Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AWKNF#OTC">AWKNF</a>), a clinical-stage biotechnology company, has announced a new partnership with the University of Nottingham to conduct in vivo testing of its aminoindane new chemical entity as part of its preclinical program. This research will explore the therapeutic potential of Awakn&#8217;s aminoindane, or psychoactive, series in enhancing social cognition and pro-social behaviors, particularly for trauma-related mental health disorders such as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/ptsd">PTSD</a>.
The study, led by Dr. Madeleine King, an expert in behavioral neuroscience, will utilize rodent models to evaluate the compound&#8217;s efficacy through the Social Transmission of Food Preferences test. Results from the trial are expected by the end of 2024. This partnership follows Awakn's recent collaboration with Eurofins Discovery for in vitro pharmacology testing of the same aminoindane series, marking significant progress in Awakn&#8217;s research and development pipeline.
Anthony Tennyson, CEO of Awakn Life Sciences, emphasized the significance of the partnership: "We believe this novel aminoindane has the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/psychedelic-assisted-therapies">potential to revolutionize mental health treatment</a>, offering a safer alternative for trauma-related disorders such as PTSD.&#8221;

Meanwhile, XPeng&#8217;s latest electric sedan, the P7+, is reportedly receiving positive early feedback, as evidenced by robust pre-order figures.
Within just 1 hour and 48 minutes of starting pre-sales, orders for the P7+ exceeded 30,000 units, <a target="_blank" href="https://cnevpost.com/2024/10/15/xpeng-p7-plus-30000-pre-orders-2-hours/" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a> CnEV Post, citing an announcement on Weibo.
Xpeng launched the model for European consumers in Paris, France. The company also announced that pre-sales for the model have commenced in China, with a starting price of RMB 209,800 ($29,600).
The pre-sale starting price of the P7+ is RMB 22,100, or 9.5% lower than the RMB 231,900 starting price of Tesla&#8217;s Model 3 in China, the report read.
However, Xpeng chairman and CEO He Xiaopeng stated that the model is designed to compete with vehicles in the RMB 300,000 price range, CnEV Post added.
The P7+ is a mid-to-large electric sedan measuring 5,056 mm in length, 1,937 mm in width, and 1,512 mm in height, with a 3,000 mm wheelbase, which makes it bigger than the Xpeng P7i sedan.
