Nomura Securities reiterates a 'Buy' on Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) price target of $145.00.
Analyst, Glenn Schorr, said, "GS reported EPS of $3.92 vs. Our/Street estimates of $3.50/$3.52. Adjusting for $225mm of DVA and $175mm of impairment/litigation costs, we think core EPS was closer to $4.40 (core ROE of 13% vs. reported 12%). While FICC wasn’t as big as some expected (-17% y/y ex DVA), we think the underperformance vs. JPMorgan (NYSE: JPM) and Citi (NYSE: C) was mostly driven by business/client mix differences and Goldman’s reduced risk appetite. On the expense front, Goldman showed good trends, with a full comp accrual and non-comp expense down 8% sequentially. We think Goldman deserves to trade at a premium to tangible book value. FY12E/FY13E EPS from $12.50/$14.00 to $12.85/$14.00, respectively."
