Green = beat or met, red = missed, amber = our data sources disagree on beat vs miss for that quarter.

Dashed lines: average actual move (±2.9%) and what options price for the next report (±4.7%).

Did the stock rise after good news?

"Beat" means the company earned more than analysts expected. Here is what the stock did the next day.

When it beat expectations
11 reports
When it missed expectations
1 report

In plain words: it beat expectations 11 times, but the stock still fell 3 of those 11 times.

Why did GS fall after beating earnings?

Beating or missing estimates is only part of the story. These are the measurable things that stand out for each surprising reaction.

GS beat EPS estimates in 11 quarters, and the stock still closed lower the next day 3 times. In 2 of the 3 where we have price data, the stock had already run up before the report.

  • Apr 13, 2026EPS beat +8.1%stock -1.9% next day
    • It had risen 15.3% in the 20 trading sessions before the report, so good news may already have been priced in.
    • It opened 3.6% lower as soon as trading resumed.
  • Oct 14, 2025EPS beat +10.5%stock -2.0% next day
    • It opened 2.8% lower as soon as trading resumed.
  • Oct 15, 2024EPS beat +23.4%stock -0.1% next day
    • It had risen 7.7% in the 20 trading sessions before the report, so good news may already have been priced in.
    • It opened 3.1% higher, but sellers took over and it closed -0.1%.

Was GS's earnings move already priced in?

Stocks often move in the weeks before a report. This compares that run-up with what happened after the report.

“Month before” is the move over the 20 trading days up to the last close before the report. “Priced in” means the good news may already be in the price. A run-up of 5% or more is treated as large.

Past reports only: this shows what happened, not what will happen.

Does GS hold its opening gap after earnings?

A gap is how far the stock opens from the previous close. A gap fades when the stock gives back at least half of it by the end of the day.

In 7 reports GS opened at least 1% away from the previous close. It gave back half or more of that gap by the close 1 of 7 times (14%), and fully reversed 1 time. Gaps up faded 1 of 5; gaps down recovered 0 of 2.

GS Earnings FAQ

Answers computed from The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.'s reported history

GS is scheduled to report on Oct 13, 2026, before the market opens. Analysts expect EPS of $15.05.

Over the last 12 quarters with a usable EPS surprise, GS beat the consensus estimate 11 times (92%), missed 1 and landed in line 0. It has beaten estimates in each of the last 11 counted quarters.

Across its last 12 quarters with a measured reaction, GS moved an average of ±2.9% in the first session after reporting. It closed higher 67% of the time; the largest gain was 9.0% and the largest drop -2.0%.

Options currently price a move of about ±4.7% (nearest at-the-money straddle that expires after the report). It measures the size of the expected move, not its direction. That is 1.64x its average historical move of ±2.9%, so options look expensive relative to history.

GS fell in the first session after 3 of its last 11 EPS beats (27%). A beat that was already priced in, or weaker guidance, can send a stock lower. In 2 of the 3 of those falls where price data is available, the stock had already risen before the report.

Across its last 12 quarters with price data, GS moved an average of +2.8% in the 20 trading sessions before reporting and was higher in 75% of them. After a run-up of 3% or more (6 quarters), it fell the next day 33% of the time, averaging +1.1%. After a drop of 3% or more (3 quarters), it rose the next day 67% of the time, averaging +2.1%. This describes past reports; it is not a forecast.

In 7 reports GS opened at least 1% away from the previous close. It gave back half or more of that gap by the close 1 of 7 times (14%), and fully reversed once. A fade means the opening move was partly undone during the first session.

How we calculate these numbers

Reported EPS and estimates come from Yahoo Finance; report times, upcoming dates and revenue come from Finnhub. The 1-day move is the close-to-close change over the first session that reflects the report (the report-day close for after-close reports, the prior close for pre-market reports); reactions are left blank when the report time is unknown or looks inconsistent. The expected move is the price of the nearest at-the-money straddle that expires after the report divided by the share price, shown only when the quotes are liquid. Quarters where the two data sources disagree on beat versus miss are shown but never counted. Information only, not investment advice.
