Goldman Sachs (GS) reports with the other mega-cap banks on mid-July mornings — a low-dispersion earnings name where the live implied move can run meaningfully above the decade average. Below is its earnings behaviour based on the last ~16 reports (roughly the past 10 years), as of July 2026.
GS earnings at a glance
Goldman’s typical earnings move is about ±4.0% over a decade (±4.2% over the last two years) — modest for a marquee name, but the 95th-percentile tail reaches about ±7.3%. As of early July 2026 the live implied move has been pricing nearer ±6.0%, above the long-run average.
Does GS beat its implied move?
The implied move is what the options market prices in before the report. Goldman’s decade average peak move is only about ±4.0%, yet the live implied move ahead of July 14, 2026 has been nearer ±6.0% — compare that gap to the stock’s own implied-vs-actual history in the app (JPM and BAC on the same morning both show high beat rates in our data).
