GS Finance Corp. has filed a preliminary pricing supplement for S&P 500 Index-linked notes due 2031. This filing, made on October 28, 2026, is significant as it showcases the company's strategy to enhance its financial product offerings in a competitive market.

GS Finance Corp. operates under the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code 6211, which covers security brokers, dealers, and flotation companies. The company is incorporated in Delaware and has its business address at 200 West Street, New York, NY. It is affiliated with The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., which guarantees the notes issued by GS Finance Corp.

The filing indicates that the notes will be linked to the performance of the S&P 500 Index. The terms of the notes suggest that if the final underlier level is greater than the initial level, the return will be positive and subject to a maximum settlement amount. Conversely, if the final level is equal to or less than the initial level, investors will receive the face amount of their notes.
