As the third-quarter earnings season approaches, Goldman Sachs has issued a note identifying key stock opportunities for investors looking to profit <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41255250/banks-gear-up-for-earnings-season-15-top-stock-picks-including-citigroup-morgan-stanley-and-truist">from financial results.</a>
Analyst John Marshall and his team shared their insights on Thursday, highlighting 18 stocks that could benefit from upward earnings revisions and seven stocks likely to face downward revisions.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The &#8216;Stock Picker&#8217;s Year&#8217;: 10% Upside In S&amp;P 500</h3>
Goldman Sachs analysts call 2024 "the year of the stock picker," emphasizing the importance of selective investing in a volatile earnings environment.
According to the investment bank&#8217;s latest projections, the average S&amp;P 500 stock could see a 10% upside over the next 12 months. 
"We see relief rally potential," Marshall stated in his note. "Directional positioning in the options market is balanced, a much better set-up than this time last quarter."
The analysts also observed that activity in options markets, both from hedge funds and retail traders, has decreased recently, signaling a "wait-and-see" approach as investors prepare for third-quarter earnings reports and the upcoming U.S. elections.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Earnings Season Volatility Remains Elevated</h3>
Goldman Sachs highlighted that single-stock volatility surrounding earnings events remains at a 14-year high. 
This trend, driven by critical market debates on topics like artificial intelligence, interest rates, and the upcoming election, is expected to continue through the remainder of the year.
&#8220;We expect earnings day moves to remain elevated as most of the key debates for the market have winners and losers in the equity space,&#8221; the note added. 
With this heightened volatility, the firm continues to recommend options-based strategies, advising investors to consider buying options ahead of earnings events and selling options between earnings periods to capitalize on price movements.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">18 Stocks Goldman Sachs Is Bullish On For Third-Quarter Earnings</h3>
Goldman Sachs&#8217; analysts have identified 18 stocks they believe are primed for upside as earnings revisions could be favorable. These stocks span a variety of sectors, from energy and financials to healthcare and technology.

<h3>Factors Driving the Stock</h3>
<h3>Favorable Style Score</h3>
Cheniere Partners has an impressive&nbsp;Value Score&nbsp;of B. Value Score helps find stocks that are undervalued. Back-tested results have shown that stocks with a favorable Value Score, combined with a solid Zacks Rank, are the best investment bets.
<h3>Robust Outlook</h3>

<h3>Impressive Earnings Surprise History</h3>
Cheniere Partners&#39; bottom line outpaced estimates in the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 28.8%.
<h3>Key Business Tailwinds</h3>
CQP holds a strong position in the market as a leading LNG exporter in the United States, thanks to its Sabine Pass LNG terminal, which boasts a production capacity of 30 Mtpa.

As of Mar 31, 2024, Cheniere Partners maintained a robust liquidity position, with $2.1 billion in total available liquidity. This includes $333 million in cash and cash equivalents, $59 million in restricted cash, and substantial available commitments under credit facilities.

This represents a 2% increase in cargo and a 4% increase in volume from the same period in 2023. The consistent rise in LNG exports highlights the partnership&#39;s operational efficiency and ability to meet global LNG demand.
<h3>Risks</h3>

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
