Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods analyst David Konrad reiterated an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">Outperform rating</a> on the shares of Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) and raised the price forecast to $690 from $686.
The analyst notes Goldman Sachs posted an<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43000353/goldman-sachs-q4-earnings-equity-and-debt-underwriting-fuel-revenue-boost-assets-under-management-hit-record-314-trillion" rel="noreferrer noopener"> impressive quarterly performance</a>, fueled by substantial gains in trading and continued growth in Asset Management.
According to the analyst, trading revenue surged 33% year-over-year despite a tough comparison, with equities remaining stable quarter-over-quarter amid usual seasonal trends.
The firm&#8217;s strategy of leveraging its balance sheet was evident, with equity financing rising 16% from the previous quarter and 36% year-over-year.
While the stock remains pricey relative to historical multiples at 1.92x TBV, it is still considered an attractive option for those looking to invest in capital markets, per the analyst.
Due to robust revenues from capital markets and asset management, the analyst raises 2025 earnings estimate by $1.80 to $47.15 and 2026 earnings estimate by $0.65 to $53.00.
The analyst says there was strong demand for deal-making, with backlogs rising quarter-over-quarter.
The analyst notes that the strength in Markets was led by Equities, which stood out this quarter at $3.5 billion, surpassing expectations by $1.41 per share, driven by increased intermediation revenue from both derivatives and cash products.
Management fees reached $2.8 billion, marking a 15% increase and a $0.15 per share beat compared to KBWe&#8217;s estimates.
According to the analyst, Goldman Sachs also continued to reduce its on-balance-sheet investments, now totaling $36.5 billion.
Price Action: GS shares are trading higher by 0.88% at $611.28 at the last check Thursday.

According to RMB Capital, the U.S. consumer remained resilient while U.S. government spending continued unchecked despite sticky inflation and higher interest rates.
&#8220;The incoming administration appears focused on the challenging task of bolstering economic growth while at the same time reducing the deficit. The most critical element of this endeavor will be curtailing the deficit while keeping longer-term yields contained, so as not to disrupt economic expansion,&#8221; it added.

Dow Jumps 700 Points Following Inflation Data: Greed Index Remains In 'Fear' Zone

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is reportedly exploring new partnerships to take over from Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) as its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41501333/apple-goldman-sachs-fined-89-million-over-apple-card-missteps-government-watchdog-orders-victim-comp">credit card partner</a>.
What Happened: The discussions with Barclays (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BCS#NYSE">BCS</a>) have been ongoing for several months, but a deal may still take time to finalize, reported Reuters.
Apple has also engaged Synchrony Financial (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYF#NYSE">SYF</a>) in discussions regarding the card partnership.
Apple, Barclays, and Synchrony did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.

JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) has also been in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40907844/jpmorgan-in-talks-to-take-over-apple-credit-card-what-investors-need-to-know">talks with Apple since last year</a>.
Why It Matters: This discussion comes as Goldman Sachs, which launched the credit card with Apple in 2019, has decided to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35262321/goldman-sachs-wants-to-opt-out-of-consumer-lending-including-apple-card-general-motors-card">step back from its consumer finance</a> ambitions.&nbsp;
Goldman&#8217;s current credit card agreement with Apple is set to last until 2030, but it might conclude earlier.
Internal challenges and financial difficulties have prompted the bank to reevaluate its position in the consumer finance sector.
This strategic shift aligns with Goldman&#8217;s decision to transfer its General Motors credit card business to Barclays.
Several financial institutions are interested in partnering with Apple. However, some view the original deal terms as risky and unprofitable, the report noted.
Price Action: Apple&#8217;s shares rose 1.97% on Wednesday, closing at $237.87. In after-hours trading, they climbed an additional 0.31% to reach $238.60, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Apple Eyes Barclays And Synchrony To Replace Goldman Sachs As Credit Card Partner: Report

Wall Street staged a strong rebound on Wednesday, as mixed inflation data bolstered investor confidence in the Federal Reserve's continuation of easing cycle in 2025, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/43001512/inflation-rises-to-29-in-december-core-slows-yet-rising-energy-costs-put-feds-target-at-risk">easing recent market anxieties.</a>
The headline Consumer Price Index rose 2.9% year-over-year in December, up from November&#8217;s 2.7% and aligning with economist forecasts. On a monthly basis, headline inflation increased by 0.4%, up from November&#8217;s 0.3%, marking the sharpest monthly rise since March 2024.
The inflation report strengthened market expectations for Fed rate cuts in 2025. The probability of a rate cut by June climbed to 63%, up from 55% the previous day, with December futures now pricing in a 50% chance of two rate cuts.
The S&amp;P 500 advanced 1.5% by midday trading in New York, and the Dow Jones followed suit with a similar gain, both supported by strength in financial stocks. The Nasdaq 100 outperformed, rising 1.9%, while small-cap stocks posted a 1.7% gain.
