Goldman Sachs (GS)
Is protection on Goldman Sachs cheap or dear today, how did the past month play out, and how did the judgments we filed on Goldman Sachs settle? Updated after every close, with right and wrong judgments alike left on the record.
Data date 10.07
I
Where it stands today
30-day / one-year implied vol (%)33.27 / 32.27
The 30-day sits 1.00 points above the one-year: something near-term is being priced on its own.
Data date 10.07. Implied vols are read once before each close.
II
The last 30 trading days
One-year and 30-day implied vol, day by day. The short line jumping while the long line holds means only the near-term event is being repriced; the long line rising too means the whole story is.
Shown: the last 30 trading days. Earlier records are in Chapter VII of the options page.

Right, it stands on its terms, but the bank half missed by 0.03: the call would be withdrawn if, before the Sep 30 close, the median AI-issuer bond spread widened 15 basis points or more from 58.6 on Sep 23 (to 73.6), or the six-bank average one-month protection price rose 2 points or more from 29.98 (to 31.98). The spread median ran 55.7, 59.3, 64.2, 60.35 and 65.25, peaking on Sep 30 only 6.65 basis points wider; the bank average ran 30.56, 30.83, 31.55, 31.95 and 30.57, peaking on Sep 29 just 0.03 below the line before easing on Sep 30. Both moved toward the line without reaching it: Oracle spread 160.3 to 175.8, Intel 70.3 to 87.4, Nvidia 23.2 to 45.1. The shock is seeping into credit, but on its terms it has not reached it

How to read this page
· The one-year percentile and the 30-day and one-year implied vols come from two different sources; each is compared only with its own past, and the two are never spliced together.
· The 30-day and one-year vols are constant-maturity: interpolated between the two nearest expiries to exactly 30 and 365 days, read once before each close.
· A big-print row is one contract's full-day total, not a single trade. Without per-trade timestamps or aggressor side we state premium traded only.
· Every reading is cross-checked against two independent sources and updated once after the close. Raw data is not provided on this site.
· Valuation ratios, margins and returns are computed from the company's filed quarterly and annual reports, on the same basis as the sector stock view, and updated weekly.
· The P/E percentile compares the company only with its own quarter-end record, never with other companies, and is not spliced with the current readings above.
· Data and information only; not investment advice; no buy or sell recommendations.
