Barclays Long-Term Thesis on Goldman Sachs (GS) Remains Quite Compelling, However...

Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) price target of $145.00.

Analyst, Roger A. Freeman, commented after meeting with GS, "Management struck a cautious tone with respect to the current environment in our meeting yesterday, noting low risk appetite and trading volumes caused by uncertainty and lack of conviction among corporate and institutional clients alike, as well as still-low levels of inventory."

Freeman also described the conversation about the environment as having an 'eerie' resemblance to last year, however, there are a few additional positives in play, including 1) Market indicators appearing better; 2) If current issues are short-lived, things could swing up quickly. Overall, long-term things look quite compelling, but until things like the JPMorgan (NYSE: JPM) issue die down, and the marco environment becomes more stable, there will be headwinds to deal with.
