Key The Goldman Sachs Group News

Here are the key news stories impacting The Goldman Sachs Group this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Goldman Sachs Private Credit Corp. received repurchase requests equal to approximately 2% of shares outstanding in the third quarter, down from 3.24% in the second quarter and 4.99% in the first. Remaining below the 5% withdrawal limit suggests comparatively strong investor retention and helps ease concerns about liquidity pressure across the non-traded BDC industry. Goldman Sachs private credit BDC redemptions come in below 5% again in Q3
• Positive Sentiment: The firm is making its roughly $100 billion Financial Square Treasury Instruments Fund available to crypto firms through Lynq, a private Avalanche-based settlement network. The move could expand distribution and reinforce Goldman’s role in institutional digital-asset infrastructure, although the immediate financial impact is unclear. Goldman Sachs moves $100B Treasury fund onto digital asset rails
• Neutral Sentiment: Analysts expect third-quarter earnings of approximately $15.39 per share on $17.42 billion in revenue, with results scheduled for October 13. Expectations for double-digit profit growth provide a potential catalyst, but they also raise the risk of disappointment if trading and investment-banking results fall short. Goldman Sachs earnings forecasts ahead of earnings call
• Negative Sentiment: Reports that the board has discussed COO and President John Waldron succeeding CEO David Solomon as early as late 2027 or 2028 are creating uncertainty over timing, strategy and executive continuity. The possibility that Solomon may not be ready to leave—or that Waldron may not wait indefinitely—adds to succession risk despite Waldron being viewed as the likely successor. Goldman Sachs CEO succession planning faces one big problem
• Negative Sentiment: GS has recently underperformed the broader market, reflecting investor caution after a strong earnings period and continued sensitivity to market conditions. Its relatively high leverage and position below its 50-day moving average may be reinforcing near-term selling pressure. Here’s Why Goldman Sachs Fell More Than Broader Market
