FCF Yield

A free cash flow yield (FCF Yield) of -14.0% means the company is generating negative free cash flow relative to its market value — essentially, it is burning cash rather than producing surplus cash for shareholders.

That is far below the sector median of 4.2%, placing GS in the 3rd percentile among its peers, meaning only 3% of comparable companies have a worse FCF Yield. Over the last eight quarters the trend has been increasing, with the most recent quarter improving by +10.8% quarter-over-quarter; the year-over-year change is not available, but the metric has moved from -17.2% to -14.0% over the three most recent periods. A deeply negative level combined with an upward trend suggests the cash flow situation remains a risk, but the consistent improvement reduces the likelihood of immediate deterioration. This mixed picture supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict: the negative yield signals weakness, but the positive trajectory tempers the bearish case.
