Different models fail in different ways, so where several apply we average them rather than trust one. Peer-based models compare Goldman Sachs with brokers, investment banks and exchanges in our coverage, using third-party market data.

Moderate moat
How hard Goldman Sachs's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 10 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.
Net income has been a median 0.9% of total assets over 10 years.
Net margin has been a median 26.2%; its worst year was 16.1%.
The diluted share count fell 14.5% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 5.1% of revenue.
AI disruption exposure: Medium. In this industry, AI could change how the product is made or sold, without replacing the core asset. The score above includes a 5-point deduction for that exposure (72 before it).
Next results: January 19, 2027, before the open. Analysts expect revenue of $17.7bn and EPS of $16.05 (range $14.80 to $18.45) for the quarter.
