GS's current 52wk position reading and what that signal has historically been followed by.
GS is currently at 74.0% of its 52-week range, as of 2026-08-21.
This page covers The Goldman Sachs Group (GS) — its current 52wk position reading and the measured historical record of what GS 52wk position extremes were followed by.
How to read this. These figures are measured only on instruments currently in our coverage — a set of companies that survived. Signals that appear to have 'worked' on the downside are conditioned on these names having recovered; a company that fell and never came back would not be here to measure. Read every number below as a property of this surviving sample, not a universal rule, and never as advice.
All figures are ‘excess’ returns — measured relative to each instrument’s own historical drift, not relative to the market. This is not alpha and not a market-beating claim; it isolates the signal from the instrument’s background trend. Measured from the first day each signal appeared (not its most extreme point), so it reflects what was knowable in real time.
Measured across GS’s 52wk position history from 2000 to 2026: 58 overbought episodes and 26 oversold episodes. Overbought readings were followed by +0.41% excess at 5 sessions and +0.88% by 20; oversold readings were followed by +0.37% excess at 5 sessions and +1.45% by 20.
