Goldman Sachs has placed buy ratings on five stocks heading into the 2026 third quarter earnings season, across theme parks, parcel delivery, advertising, Latin American banking and oilfield services.[^1]

Four of the five stocks lost value in 2026. Baker Hughes was the only gainer, up 22.97% year to date as of October 2.[^2] Goldman reinstated buy coverage on the oilfield services firm in September 2026, with a $71 price target tied to synergies from its completed Chart Industries acquisition.[^5]

Individual analyst targets include a $23 price objective for Nu Holdings, 71% above its October 2 close. Analyst Tito Labarta cited upside from the bank's planned entry into US consumer credit.[^3] Michael Ng set a $140 target for Disney, projecting 13% annual compound EPS growth from the company's Experiences division and product investment.[^4]

Gold traded at $4,141.73 per ounce on October 4 2026.[^6]
