Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- AI-driven efficiency gains could push Goldman’s 2029 earnings to $22.6B by enabling agent-as-a-service models and capital-light growth.
- Goldman advised on $1T in M&A deals in H1 2026, up 71%, with advisory revenues rising 89% year-over-year in Q1.
- Global M&A volume is expected to exceed $3.8T in 2026, offering Goldman a substantial revenue pipeline from deal advisory fees.
What critics are saying
- Internal automation could erode Goldman’s advisory revenue within 5 years, with a 40–60% probability of client switching to AI-native competitors in 12–18 months.
- Regulatory uncertainty and rising capital requirements threaten Goldman’s $20B 2029 earnings target, with a 50–70% probability of impact in 12–18 months.
- Goldman’s $1T M&A lead is existential; if AI enables fee-free deal closures, Goldman faces a critical revenue collapse with 25–45% probability in 18–24 months.
What makes Goldman Sachs unique
- Goldman Sachs uses a multi-model AI architecture with OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic models integrated into its secure GS AI Platform.
- The firm deploys AI to overhaul six core processes including client onboarding, KYC, and regulatory reporting, targeting $2B in savings.
- Goldman Sachs provides all 46,000 employees secure access to top-tier LLMs, setting a new benchmark for institutional AI adoption.

Wall Street's major banks are reporting strong earnings, with JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs benefitting from AI infrastructure buildout and geopolitical volatility. JPMorgan posted net income of $16.5 billion, up 13% year over year, whilst Goldman saw investment banking fees jump 48%. The AI boom is driving unprecedented corporate borrowing, with banks profiting from debt underwriting, bond trading and advisory services. Goldman led Oracle's $25 billion bond offering in February, one of the largest corporate sales recently. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon cited "AI-driven capital investment" as a key macroeconomic driver. Meanwhile, war-related volatility is boosting trading desks. JPMorgan's fixed income trading rose 21%, driven by activity in commodities, credit and currencies. Goldman's equities division surged 27%, reflecting increased client hedging activity amid geopolitical uncertainty.
Goldman Sachs has lowered its price target on Amazon to $275 from $280 whilst maintaining a Buy rating ahead of the company's earnings report on 30 April 2026. The revised target still implies upside from the current share price of around $240. Analyst Eric Sheridan highlighted four key areas shaping Amazon's trajectory: AWS cloud revenue growth and AI investment returns, rising energy prices affecting margins, the commercialisation timeline for Amazon Leo, and the fast-growing advertising platform. Amazon's AI push through AWS has reached an annualised revenue run rate exceeding $15 billion, whilst its chip business surpassed $20 billion in revenue with triple-digit growth. However, capital expenditures could approach $200 billion in fiscal 2026, pressuring free cash flow despite strong overall performance showing net sales of $716.9 billion and operating income of $80 billion for the full year.
Goldman Sachs is strengthening its cyber defences using Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview AI model, according to CEO David Solomon. The bank is collaborating with Anthropic and security vendors to accelerate investment in its security infrastructure. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell convened an urgent meeting with Wall Street leaders in Washington, urging banks to test the model against their systems. Mythos is designed to identify complex exploit chains—linked software vulnerabilities used in sophisticated cyberattacks that security researchers often miss. The model has discovered thousands of bugs, including one in OpenBSD that remained undetected for 27 years. US officials are pushing critical industries towards machine-scale cyber defence, though the approach has sparked international friction with European regulators and internal US government disagreements.
