After having cut its oil forecasts twice in less than a week, analysts at Goldman Sachs cut their annual forecasts for Brent and West Texas Intermediate Crude for 2025 and 2026 yet again, warning of a worst-case scenario involving a tariff-driven global recession and higher supply by the OPEC+ nations.
What Happened: On Monday, Goldman Sachs once again revised its annual forecasts for Brent and WTI crude prices at $62 and $58 a barrel for December 2025 and $55 and $51 for December 2026, respectively, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-08/goldman-says-oil-could-sink-below-40-under-extreme-conditions">reported</a> Bloomberg. At the time of writing this, crude oil trades at $64 Brent and $60 WTI.

This downward revision remains in line with the firm&#8217;s earlier decision to raise the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44662991/goldman-sachs-raises-risk-of-recession-to-45-jefferies-calls-tariffs-a-free-hall-pass-for-tech-giants-to-reset-their-goals">probability of a recession in the U.S. to 45%</a> over the next 12 months, up from 35% early last month, in response to the intensifying global trade war that can plunge the world into a recession. 
It further adds in the note that these forecasts have been made under two assumptions, the first being that the U.S. economy avoids a recession, with a significant reduction in the proposed tariffs. Second, the supply from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC+) rises moderately with two increments of 130,000 to 140,000 barrels.
In a more &#8220;extreme&#8221; scenario, where a global recession aligns with a full OPEC+ unwind, which the bank says is &#8220;less likely,&#8221; Brent could fall just below $40 a barrel in late 2026, a level not seen since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Why It Matters: After starting April at $70 a barrel, NYMEX WTI prices dipped below $60 on Monday morning, a level not seen in four years, before rebounding in the afternoon at $60.70. Energy analysts see the $60 mark as a key threshold, below which most producers will scale back their activity. 
According to Marshal Adkins, the head of energy at Raymond James Financial Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RJF#NYSE">RJF</a>), oil prices below $60 will push the U.S. into a slowdown, &#8216;there is no question about it,&#8217; he <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/04/07/oil-prices-nymex-wti-crude-gas-tariffs-opec/">adds</a> while speaking to Fortune.

<h3>Evaluating Raymond James Finl P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large.

Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 20.38 in the Capital Markets industry, Raymond James Finl Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 13.57. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued.

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.
