Harte told CNBC that his outlook for Goldman Sachs is more optimistic than most analysts and he doesn't think he is aggressive in terms of expectations. 

There is a stronger possibility of an upside surprise than downside risk when it comes to his earnings expectations over the next couple of years, Harte noted.

The strength of the capital markets will continue to act as a tailwind for Goldman Sachs, Harte added. 

The stock is undervalued at current levels, as it trades at one and a half times tangible book value, he told CNBC.

GS Price Action: Goldman Sachs is making new all-time highs today. The stock is up 47.47% year-to-date.
