Investors Looking For a Weak Quarter at Goldman (GS)

February 25, 2008 7:52 AM EST
According to reports from the Wall Street Journal, Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS), which has avoided the pitfalls of the subprime debacle, may post its smallest quarterly profit in three years. The problem Goldman faces is slow investment banking activity and its leveraged-loan exposure.

The paper said investors are already expecting a poor quarter from the investment banking giant, noting the stock is down 14% since February 1st. But an analyst at Fox-Pitt Kelton, David Trone, thinks the stock may still be too expensive, saying it should only trade at at 10% premium to the group, which implies a price 19% below current levels.
