Valuing Goldman Sachs Group stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Goldman Sachs Group's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Goldman Sachs Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 17x. In other words, Goldman Sachs Group shares trade at around 17x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're under-valued.
Goldman Sachs Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.9525. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the stocks offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Goldman Sachs Group's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.

When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 36.08
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Goldman Sachs Group's overall score of 36.08 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 68th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Goldman Sachs Group is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 7.25/100
Goldman Sachs Group's environmental score of 7.25 puts it squarely in the 9th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Goldman Sachs Group is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 19.67/100
Goldman Sachs Group's social score of 19.67 puts it squarely in the 9th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Goldman Sachs Group is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

Dividend payout ratio: 33.74% of net profits
Recently Goldman Sachs Group has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Goldman Sachs Group shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Goldman Sachs Group's case, that would currently equate to about $11.25 per share.
While Goldman Sachs Group's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Goldman Sachs Group may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Goldman Sachs Group's most recent dividend payout was on 29 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 1 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Goldman Sachs Group's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $363.2701 up to $611.91. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."
Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Goldman Sachs Group's is 1.342. This would suggest that Goldman Sachs Group's stocks are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
