BMO Capital analyst James Fotheringham raised his price target on Goldman Sachs to $276 after its Q3 earnings beat, with results featuring higher than expected investment banking fees and a "strong showing" from its incoming CFO Stephen Scherr. The analyst notes that financials are "cheap again" in spite of the rising short-term rates, improving employment, and continued regulatory relief. Fotheringham also keeps his Market Perform rating on Goldman Sachs on valuation, noting that its two-year foward PE multiple is "only slightly" below its long-term historical average.
