The Goldman Sachs Conviction List is a curated list of stocks that the firm's research team believes have a high likelihood of outperforming the market. It's a tool for investors to identify stocks with strong growth potential, frequently to reflect changes in market conditions and company performance. The list aims to identify stocks where Goldman Sachs analysts have the "highest level of conviction" in their outperformance. We screened the list for dividend-paying stocks likely to receive a significant tailwind as the Federal Reserve continues on a rate-cutting cycle, and five are outstanding stocks with big, reliable dividends and strong total return potential.
