Investment Thesis
GS โ€” The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.
Goldman Sachs remains the premier global investment bank with dominant franchises in M&A advisory, equities trading, and asset management. FY2025 delivered $58.3B net revenues, 15% ROE, and $51.32 diluted EPS, powered by record equities trading and a resurgent IB pipeline. The stock has pulled back 8% from January highs near $985 but still trades at 2.27x book value, well above the 5-year median โ€ฆ
PFE โ€” Pfizer Inc.
Pfizer remains the world's largest traditional pharmaceutical company by non-COVID revenue, generating $62.6B in 2025 sales across oncology, cardiovascular, immunology, and vaccines. The stock trades at a P/S of 2.44x, still well below the 5-year median of 3.10x, driven by post-COVID revenue normalization, a $17-18B patent cliff spanning 2026-2028, and $61.6B in acquisition-related debt from Seagโ€ฆ
