Goldman Sachs initiated coverage of Brookfield Corp. (NYSE:BN) at Buy, noting that it provides investors access to a capital compounder at a discount.

The total Brookfield empire oversees almost $1T of assets that encompasses real estate, infrastructure, renewable energy, private equity, private credit, and insurance.
"We view BN as a capital compounder that is on the cusp of seeing a significant step-up in excess capital generation, resulting in faster book value growth, higher ROE and a greater return of capital (share repurchases) opportunities," analyst Alexander Blostein wrote in a note to clients.
