By: Zacks Investment Research | April 20, 2021

It does not take a rocket scientist to piece together today’s Bull of the Day. Actually, it’s very simple. The market is up at all-time highs. That should make is very easy to choose the winners. In the gold rush, the real fortunes were made not on gold, but on the folks who sold the picks and axes. It is the same with the stock market. The companies that make the most money are going to be the companies that benefit from high equity prices. That’s the stocks involved in the asset management game.

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., a financial institution, provides range of financial services for corporations, financial institutions, governments, and individuals worldwide. It operates through four segments: Investment Banking, Global Markets, Asset Management, and Consumer & Wealth Management.

I understand that next year’s number is a contraction, but it’s this year that takes the cake. Year-over-year EPS growth is slated to come in at 73.81%. That is huge for a company with a market cap of over $118 billion.
