Goldman just made a bunch of additions to its favorite stocks list. Here are the new names
Goldman Sachs added four new stocks to its June conviction list, including Tyson Foods and Block . The stocks are new additions to the investment bank’s “Conviction List – Directors’ Cut” group of buy-rated stocks. Goldman Sachs also added Casella Waste Systems and TPG to its list of most recommended names for June as part of its monthly reshuffling. In turn, the bank removed Ares Management , Wynn Resorts and Kontoor Brands from its list. The basket now includes 21 stocks that Goldman believes to be its most differentiated fundamental buy ideas across its coverage universe in the U.S. Tyson Foods Goldman added meat processor Tyson Foods to the list, applauding the company’s “diversified portfolio with leverage to the hottest area of food.” “Look for continued earnings growth at TSN — the U.S.’s largest protein processor and marketer — driven by its diversified protein portfolio, plus further margin expansion driven by ongoing operational improvements, strong demand trends, as well as generally better execution across the board,” the firm wrote. Shares of Tyson Foods have added nearly 3% this year. Goldman’s $81 price target represents upside of nearly 33% from Friday’s close. Block Fintech stock Block was also strongly favored by Goldman. Shares have surged about 19% in 2026. Goldman has a $95 price target on the name, offering upside of 25% from Friday. “A cash generating share gainer with an AI productivity enhancement story,” the firm wrote. “The holding company of Square and Cash App is one of the premier consumer neobank and payment platforms in the U.S. and is on a path to higher profitability as it attracts more and stickier users to its platforms through wallet share expansion and product improvements in select verticals.” The firm thinks that earnings per share growth this year and next could drive the stock higher from here. TPG Also added to Goldman’s conviction list was private equity company TPG. The firm called out the company’s “sustainable growth platform at a discounted valuation.” Shares of TPG have tumbled 32% this year, which Goldman Sachs attributed to pressure on the broad alternative asset manager sector as investors wonder if annual growth numbers are unsustainable. “But growth across private credit, wealth management, and even private equity remains much stronger than feared. TPG’s Private Equity, Private Credit, and a re-emerging Real Estate funds are growing at a pace significantly above the industry as the firm’s top-quartile performance enables market share consolidation,” the firm wrote. Goldman’s $61 price target is approximately 43% above where shares of TPG closed on Friday. Casella Waste Systems Casella Waste Systems was the last new addition to Goldman’s list. The firm highlighted the waste management company’s sustainable growth, writing that it sees margin expansion ahead. “Valuation has moved from a premium to in line with peers to a discount over the last year following integration challenges with the acquisition of GFL’s Mid-Atlantic assets,” the firm wrote, referring to Casella’s 2023 acquisition of GFL Environmental’s collection, transfer and recycling operations in Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland. “With the integration now largely complete, and with customers transitioned to CWST’s new lead-to-cash system, the focus is shifting to synergy realization,” Goldman added. The firm’s $120 price forecast implies that shares of Casella Waste Systems could add 46% from Friday’s close.
