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.

What believers are saying

- 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.

With its first debt financing round, one of America’s fastest-growing corporate cards can serve more customers
The first corporate card that helps businesses spend less experiences record-setting adoption as it nears $1B in annualized transaction volume just one year after the product’s general availability.
GoodLeap has closed a $389 million securitisation, its 26th overall and sixth backed solely by home improvement loans. The transaction, GoodLeap Home Improvement Solutions Trust 2026-2, was sponsored by Bank of America and is backed by $434 million in principal balance of GoodLeap-originated loans. The securitisation received ratings from Kroll Bond Rating Agency and Fitch Ratings. Joint bookrunners included Goldman Sachs, CIBC World Markets, and Citigroup Global Markets. GoodLeap provides financing and software for sustainable home solutions including solar panels, batteries, and energy-efficient HVAC systems. Since 2018, the company has facilitated more than $38 billion in financing, serving over 1.7 million homeowners. The sustainable home upgrades market represents an estimated $450 billion annual opportunity in the United States.
Goldman Sachs has committed up to an additional £500m to Quantum Development Finance, potentially expanding the specialist lender's funding capacity to £700m. The expanded long-term facility represents potential funding capacity rather than capital already advanced to borrowers. Quantum provides development and bridging finance to SME housebuilders and property investors across England and Wales, offering loans typically between £1m and £30m. The lender has financed approximately 4,000 homes since its 2023 founding and passed £1bn in cumulative funding during the summer. The commitment contrasts with pressure elsewhere in development finance, where firms face challenges from build-cost inflation and subdued markets. Quantum also partners with alternative investment manager AB CarVal for long-term funding.
89bio, a San Francisco-based clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, has raised approximately $287.5 million through a public offering of common stock and pre-funded warrants. Gibson Dunn advised on the transaction. The company focuses on developing therapies for patients with liver and cardiometabolic diseases lacking optimal treatment options. Goldman Sachs, Leerink Partners, and BofA Securities served as lead book-running managers for the offering, with Cantor acting as book-running manager. The Gibson Dunn team included Ryan Murr, Branden Berns, Melanie Neary, Lauren Navarro, and Jasmine Vitug.
