He lifted his price target to $750 per share from $625, but that implies 2% downside from Monday’s close of $763.32. Abouhossein’s downgrade stemmed from Goldman’s stock already trading at a fair valuation. On the other hand, its European counterparts Barclays and Deutsche Bank trade at “significantly cheaper valuations,” he wrote. Goldman trades at a price-to-book valuation of 2.17, per FactSet. Barclays and Deutsche Bank, meanwhile, have price-to-book ratio of 0.81 and 0.86, respectively.
