NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 16:52 ET — After-hours
- Goldman Sachs shares fell about 0.9% to $884.42 in late trading.
- Financial stocks lagged in holiday-thin markets as investors digested fresh Federal Reserve signals.
- Attention turns to Goldman’s next earnings update expected around mid-January.
Goldman Sachs shares slipped on Tuesday, down about 0.9% at $884.42 in after-hours trading. The stock traded between $881.25 and $895.39 during the session.
The move matters because Goldman is a bellwether for investment banks, where shifts in rate expectations can ripple through trading activity, dealmaking sentiment and risk appetite.
It also comes at a tricky moment on the calendar. Thin year-end volumes can amplify small moves, especially in high-priced Dow components like Goldman.
Other big banks were mixed to lower in late trading, with JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America each down modestly.
In the broader market, U.S. stocks ended slightly lower as technology and financial shares weighed, and losses in Goldman helped drag on the Dow, Reuters reported. Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at Nationwide, called it “a healthy rebalancing of allocations” rather than an emotionally driven sell-off. 1
Investors also parsed minutes from the Federal Reserve’s December meeting, where policymakers agreed to cut rates by 25 basis points — a quarter of a percentage point — after a nuanced debate about risks to the economy, Reuters reported. The Fed’s next meeting is scheduled for Jan. 27-28. 1
Holiday-thinned conditions have made positioning more abrupt. On Monday, bank shares pulled back after a strong run this year, and investors flagged Fed minutes and a weekly jobless-claims report as key near-term macro checkpoints, Reuters reported. 2
On the company calendar, a fresh securities filing provided a clear marker for what’s next. In a preliminary prospectus supplement for callable fixed-rate notes due 2033, Goldman said it intends to file its quarterly earnings release for the quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2025 on Form 8‑K on or about Jan. 15, 2026. Callable means the issuer can redeem the notes early under set terms. 3
That mid-January update is likely to sharpen focus on whether investment-banking activity and trading momentum hold up into 2026, alongside any shift in expense discipline and capital return.
For traders, Tuesday’s low near $881 and the stock’s ability to reclaim the $900 level may serve as near-term reference points as liquidity remains patchy into the final sessions of the year.
Goldman shares were last quoted near $884 in after-hours trading. With little company-specific news driving the tape on Tuesday, the next directional cue may come from macro releases and the bank’s own earnings timing in January.
