What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of GFS's valuation, growth and risks.
GFS trades at a trailing P/E of 37.36. That is 6.4% above the Technology median of 35.1, and the peer comparison on this page rates the multiple as broadly in line with peers. Its price-to-sales ratio of 3.84 is 49.5% below the sector median of 7.6. For context, the market capitalisation is $26.0B and trailing earnings are $1.28 a share.
GFS is growing more slowly than its sector. Revenue rose 5.80% in the latest year, while the sector median is 24.2%. Profit margins are 10.32% net and 9.74% operating, and return on equity of 6.17% sits below the sector median of 13.4%. On the balance sheet, debt-to-equity is 0.14, and the trailing dividend yield is 0.51%, which works out to $0.24 a share per year.
GFS's most recent quarterly report came out on August 5, 2026. Earnings per share were $0.46 against an estimate of $0.43, a beat of 6.98%. In the first session after the report, the share price went up 1.82%.
GFS has beaten the EPS estimate in all 4 of its recent reports, though the stock still fell in the first session after 1 of those 4 beats. Analysts' average EPS estimate for this fiscal year is $1.96, which would be growth of 13.7%, and $2.63 for next year (growth of 34.2%).
On a typical day the price of GFS shifts by 2.96%, the 30-day standard deviation of its daily returns. Until the price regains its moving averages, the trend works against holders. The price is 49.56% below its 52-week high of $92.55. Insiders sold $3.7M over the last 18 months and bought none on the open market, though sales of this kind are often planned in advance and say less than purchases would.

- Keep an eye on the two nearest levels: the 50-day SMA at $47.68 sits above the price, and the 52-week low at $32.02 sits below it.
- A 14-day RSI of 45.5 is in the neutral zone, and the MACD line is positive. Readings above 70 or below 30 would signal stretched momentum.
- The share price rose 1.82% in the first session after the August 5, 2026 report. Across the last 4 reports, GFS beat estimates each time.
GFS sits below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($47.68 and $54.85), and that is why the trend reads down. A move back above the 50-day would be the first sign of repair. The first level above the price is the 50-day SMA at $47.68.
The 52-week low at $32.02 is the next level below.

Long-term scenarios
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in GFS, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in GFS today could grow to about $13,755 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $104,353 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $1,813. The simulation models price only; at today's 0.51% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
GFS Stock Price Prediction: 2030
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $53.03 for GFS by 2030 in the base case, from $46.68 today (1.1x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $14.72. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on GFS's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $25.39 | $48.19 | $91.47 | |
