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 GS, 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 GS today could grow to about $25,717 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $87,262 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $7,579. The simulation models price only; at today's 2.00% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
GS Stock Price Prediction: 2030
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $1,312 for GS by 2030 in the base case, from $899 today (1.5x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $606. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on GS's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $671 | $988 | $1,454 | |
| 2028 | $629 | $1,086 | $1,875 | |
| 2029 | $611 | $1,194 | $2,331 | |
