Analyst Says Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon Faces Key Challenge In Managing Earnings Volatility

01/07/2026 03:54 PM • BofA Securities analyst Ebrahim Poonawala raised Goldman Sachs' price target to $1,050 from $900 with a Buy rating, but notes CEO David Solomon's main challenge is managing earnings volatility. The analyst expects a 20% rebound in investment banking revenue for FY26 and normalized performance by FY27, with ROTCE approaching 19% and an efficiency ratio around 60%. Goldman's earnings have historically swung significantly, with a 56% EPS drop from 2021 to 2023, driven by capital markets business volatility.

GOOG - Berkshire took a $4.3 billion position, making it the tenth largest holding. Positive factors include strong AI strategy, accelerating growth across services, and resolution of antitrust lawsuit
GS - Analyst raised price target significantly (from $900 to $1,050), maintained Buy rating, and expects strong FY26 rebound with 20% investment banking revenue growth and normalized performance by FY27. However, sentiment is tempered by acknowledged concerns about earnings volatility inherent in the capital markets business.

Defense Stocks Sink After Trump Orders Contractors To Halt Dividends, Buybacks

01/07/2026 03:45 PM • President Trump ordered U.S. defense contractors to immediately halt dividend payments and share buybacks, citing underinvestment in production and excessive executive compensation.

He also capped executive compensation at $5 million until production issues are resolved. The announcement triggered sharp declines across the defense sector, with major contractors and aerospace & defense ETFs falling significantly.

Alphabet Trades Near Highs as Earnings Power and AI Spend Justify a Premium

01/07/2026 02:34 PM • Alphabet (GOOGL) trades near 52-week highs at ~$320, justified by strong Q3 2025 earnings (15.95% YoY revenue growth to $102.35B, 32.99% net income growth), expanding margins, and strategic AI infrastructure initiatives. The company is diversifying beyond search ads through YouTube, Google Cloud (34% YoY growth), and building competitive advantages via TorchTPU chips and the Intersect energy acquisition (10.8 GW capacity). While valuation at 32x earnings is elevated, analysts argue earnings growth into the multiple is realistic given AI monetization potential and infrastructure dominance.

GOOG - Strong Q3 2025 financial performance with 15.95% YoY revenue growth, 32.99% net income growth, and expanding 34.18% net margins. Strategic initiatives (TorchTPU, Intersect energy deal, Gemini deployments) position the company for sustained double-digit EPS growth. Diversified revenue streams reduce search ad dependency. Analyst rates as 'Buy' despite elevated 32x P/E multiple.

China Tells Tech Firms To Stop Nvidia H200 Chip Orders

01/07/2026 12:49 PM • Chinese authorities have instructed local technology firms to pause orders of Nvidia's H200 chips, directing them to prioritize domestic AI processors instead.

NVDA - China's directive to pause H200 orders and mandate domestic chip usage poses a significant threat to Nvidia's market share and revenue in one of its key markets.
