Goldman Sachs Gains 0.29% as $1.12 Billion Volume Places It 86th in U.S. Equities by Dollar Volume

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) closed 0.29% higher on September 25, 2025, with a trading volume of $1.12 billion, ranking 86th in dollar volume among U.S. equities. The stock’s performance followed mixed signals from market participants assessing its strategic positioning in the post-summer trading environment.

Analysts noted limited catalysts driving the modest gain, with no major earnings announcements or regulatory developments reported during the session. The firm’s fixed-income division saw elevated activity, though institutional investors appeared cautious about large-scale position adjustments ahead of the October FOMC meeting.

Back-testing parameters for the firm’s performance analysis remain under refinement, requiring clarification on key implementation details. These include the benchmark universe (S&P 500 vs. broader market), volume metric (share count vs. dollar volume), and entry/exit conventions (close-to-close vs. open-to-close). Portfolio weighting methodologies and transaction cost assumptions also require finalization before executing the test.

If default settings are applied, the test will assume a current S&P 500 universe ranked by dollar volume, equal-weighted positions, and close-to-close returns without transaction costs. Adjustments to these parameters can be accommodated upon request.
