We are raising our rating on Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) to “Buy” from “Hold” following 1Q results, which demonstrated the considerable strengths of the Goldman franchise during an investment banking upturn. The environment offered a few false rebounds in 2023, but the current surge appears to have staying power, suggests Stephen Biggar, analyst at Argus Research.
Our BUY rating on Apollo Global Management (APO) reflects the company’s strong position among alternative asset managers and ability to generate cash in a wide variety of market environments, notes Stephen Biggar, analyst at Argus Research.
Our rating on Fiserv (FI) is “Buy” with a target price of $150 (raised from $140). We believe that Fiserv, a financial services firm, benefits from a highly scalable business model. Over the last several years, it has consistently turned single-digit revenue growth into double-digit EPS growth with help from strong margins and share buybacks, notes Stephen Biggar, analyst at Argus Research.
Charles Schwab (SCHW) is a leading provider of financial services, with 33.8 million active brokerage accounts and approximately $7.0 trillion in client assets, notes Stephen Biggar, an analyst with the leading independent Wall Street research firm, Argus Research.
