Rochdale Securities Analyst Dick Bove cut his estimates for Goldman Sachs Tuesday, because trading activity is below par.

"It looked as if it was going to be a very strong quarter for Goldman Sachs and other companies in the sector," Bove said. "All of a sudden, when the Greece situation developed toward the end of January ... then basically, trading just dried up. Sector by sector you saw a significant decline in trading activity."

As a result, Bove's optimistic estimates "had to go away."

Bove cut his first quarter estimates on Goldman to $3.99 from $4.88. He maintains his buy rating at a $200 price target.

"For the year I'm at $18.04 now and that's simply because I did not cut estimates for the second, third and fourth quarter and I didn't cut the estimates for next year and the year after," Bove said. "In terms of what a multiple should be on Goldman Sachs, you should at least expect a 10 multiple, which would be a price of somewhere around $180."
