Goldman Sachs Stock Price Chart

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. is a global investment bank and financial services company with market capitalization at $225.0 billion. The company is active in four primary segments: Global Banking & Markets, Asset & Wealth Management, and Platform Solutions. The stock is trading at P/E ratio (Trailing Twelve Months) of 16.37 and Price/Sales ratio of 4.31 currently. The company earned $54.79 billion revenue (ttm), operated at Operating Margin (ttm) of 35.73% and earned a Return on Equity (ttm) of 12.74% . The bank announced it will increase its dividend from last year's comparable payment on the 29th of September to $4.00. This takes the annual payment to 2.2% of the current stock price, which is about average for the industry. The bank's distributions have been remarkably stable over its long history of paying dividends. The dividend has gone from an annual total of $2.40 in 2015 to the most recent total annual payment of $16.00. This means that it has been growing its distributions at 21% per annum over that time. There has been strong dividend growth and there haven't been any cuts for a long time. With earnings growing rapidly and a low payout ratio the company is a great dividend stock. One has just to take into account that the dividend payment sustainability is not 100 guaranteed since while Goldman Sachs has a low payout ratio the bank’s free cash flows weren't positive based on the last payment. The increase in Goldman Sachs’ dividend is bullish for Goldman Sachs stock price.
