Goldman Sachs Ranks 71st in $1.06B Trading Volume as Regulatory Risks and Consumer Lending Exit Navigated

On August 28, 2025, Goldman Sachs (GS) traded with a volume of $1.06 billion, ranking 71st in market activity. The stock closed up 0.21% for the day.

Goldman Sachs faces ongoing regulatory scrutiny, agreeing to pay $6 million to settle SEC charges related to trading data errors. Separately, the firm revisited its $5 billion settlement over the 1MDB scandal in Malaysia, with reports indicating unresolved issues in the case. These developments highlight regulatory risks that could weigh on investor confidence.

Strategic shifts are underway as Goldman explores the sale of its consumer lending unit, GreenSky. Reports suggest advanced negotiations with a group of investment firms, signaling a potential reduction in exposure to the consumer finance sector. Institutional activity also reflects shifting positions: Adams Asset Advisors LLC reduced its stake, while Inscription Capital LLC sold 314 shares, indicating cautious positioning among investors.

Analyst sentiment remains mixed, with a recent price target cut to $380.00 and Citi maintaining a Hold rating. The firm’s recent $15 billion fundraising for secondary market investments underscores its focus on capital deployment, though this may not directly impact near-term stock performance.
