About the company

Goldman Sachs advises companies and governments on mergers, raises money for them by selling their stocks and bonds, and trades securities for big investors such as hedge funds and pension funds. It led Ford Motor's 1956 stock market debut, then the largest share sale in US history. Traders buy and sell stocks, bonds, currencies, and commodities for clients and lend them money, while bankers earn a fee on each deal they advise on or arrange. Its asset and wealth management arm invests for institutions and wealthy families and charges fees based on the money it oversees. The firm was founded in 1869, when it began brokering short-term IOUs for New York merchants, and it is based in New York City.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Trading drives the boom: stock-trading revenue hit a record $7.42 billion in the June 2026 quarter, up 72%.
  • Pay is climbing: compensation rose 20% to $11.5 billion in the first half of 2026, while staff grew 1%.
  • A Goldman stint opens doors: alumni Rishi Sunak, Mario Draghi and Mark Carney rose to lead Britain, Italy and Canada.

What critics are saying

  • AI is costing jobs: Goldman's October 2025 AI plan came with a "limited reduction in roles" and slower hiring.
  • Expect five office days a week: Goldman reaffirmed the rule in 2023, and its CEO calls remote work an aberration.
  • Stock awards have lost value: shares fell 23% from July 15 to October 8, 2026, versus 18% at Morgan Stanley.

What makes Goldman Sachs unique

  • Traders outearn Goldman's famous merger advisers: trading made 57% of first-half 2026 revenue, versus 8% from advice.
  • Goldman is Wall Street's top merger adviser: it earned $4.6 billion advising on 2025 deals, versus JPMorgan's $3.1 billion.
  • The top prize is still partner: though public since 1999, Goldman named just 95 partners from 46,000-plus staff in 2024.

JPMorgan and Goldman limit exposure on $5B Volta AI loan sale as yields hit 11%

JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs have limited their exposure on a $5 billion loan sale for AI cloud startup Volta Infrastructure Holdings, as investors demand higher yields on risky AI debt. The banks underwrote a $1.3 billion term loan, but not a $3.7 billion chip loan. The debt is being pitched at a yield of about 11%, among the highest in the leveraged loan market. The deal is unrated, which would typically bar collateralized loan obligations, the biggest buyers of such debt, from purchasing it. The term loan will fund lease payments for a Norway data center run with Bitdeer Technologies Group. The chip loan will pay for about 36,000 Nvidia GPUs. Anthropic has signed a six-year agreement for compute capacity at the site. Commitments are due on October 14.
