Goldman Sachs is an American multinational investment bank and financial services company.
According to TechFlow Research, minutes from Goldman Sachs' July 5 Circle management meeting indicate that stablecoin growth has decoupled from crypto market cycles, with use cases rapidly expanding towards cross-border payments, consumer e-commerce, capital market settlement, and AI agent payments. USDC accounts for approximately 99% of trading volume in the x402 agent payment protocol. Circle pointed out that the "digital dollarization" trend in emerging markets is accelerating, with USDC becoming a tool to replace local currencies and unreliable banking systems. If passed, Circle believes the CLARITY Act will be a catalyst rather than a headwind; the bill allows issuers to continue revenue sharing to incentivize distribution and encourages usage-based reward mechanisms rather than passive holding.

According to TechFlow Research, the SOX rose 88% in Q2. Goldman Sachs believes earnings beating expectations is a high-probability event, but pressure from stock prices pricing this in early also exists. Covered stocks are expected to beat expectations across the board this quarter, with AI server chips providing the strongest drive, while Industrials and Automotive still lag behind. The tactical list clearly indicates Overweight on AMAT (target price $645), AMD ($640), and ON ($95); it is cautious on KLAC (Neutral) and ARM (Underweight), and while Q is rated Buy, the risk-reward ratio is weak. Goldman Sachs' 2027 EPS forecast for AMD is 13% higher than market consensus. Memory shows the greatest upside, with SNDK's target price raised from $1,200 to $2,200, STX raised to $960, and WDC raised to $650 (up 240% year-to-date).

According to CoinDesk, Goldman Sachs stated that U.S. IPO activity in 2026 doubled year-on-year, with approximately 50 companies having gone public and issuance volume reaching about $120 billion in dollar terms—matching the full-year record set in 2021. Ben Snider, Goldman Sachs’ Chief U.S. Equity Strategist, noted that this recovery is primarily driven by a wave of large-cap listings and financing demand tied to AI development—a “normal recovery” that remains fundamentally distinct from the speculative frenzy seen during the dot-com bubble. Currently, the average annual number of IPOs stands at roughly 100, far below the 250 IPOs in 2021 and the nearly 400 IPOs recorded at the peak of the 1999 bubble. Notably, crypto firms—including Payward (Kraken’s parent company), Consensys, Ledger, and Grayscale—have postponed or suspended their IPO plans amid market volatility and underwhelming post-listing performance. Meanwhile, high-profile AI- and tech-related IPOs such as SpaceX have successfully listed, drawing institutional capital away from the crypto market and into other sectors—exerting downward pressure on tokens and crypto-related stocks.

According to a research report recently released by Goldman Sachs’ China macroeconomics team, the asset allocation of Chinese residents is in the early stages of a structural transformation. As the role of real estate in wealth accumulation gradually diminishes and deposit rates remain low, savings may progressively shift towards a broader range of financial assets, with stocks and insurance expected to be the primary beneficiaries in the medium term. “Chinese residents’ stock allocation remains low relative to its long-term potential.”The Goldman Sachs report indicates that the current share of stocks in residents’ assets is less than 10%, suggesting significant room for further asset reallocation as residents gradually broaden their investment horizons. Goldman Sachs also noted that, given residents’ still cautious risk appetite and the uneven distribution of financial wealth, this adjustment is unlikely to be linear or cover a wide population. Even so, if resident confidence stabilizes and capital market returns become attractive, stocks could account for a larger share of new resident savings in the future. (Shanghai Securities News)

“White-Haired Stock God” Serenity stated on X platform that he believes the "photonics theme + continuous-wave (CW) laser bottleneck" is one of the most important investment directions in the current AI infrastructure field.Serenity pointed out that the market seems to have overlooked Lumentum's (LITE) market cap growth from about $30 billion in 2024 to over $65 billion, with the core reason being the EML laser supply bottleneck driven by NVIDIA and changes in the optical network architecture.He believes the market is currently experiencing a similar logic, where continuous-wave lasers, 1.6T optical modules, and CPO (Co-Packaged Optics) architecture have become the focus of a new round of industrial upgrades. As NVIDIA continues to sign long-term supply agreements, AMD and other cloud service providers are competing for supply chain resources for continuous-wave lasers and optical components.Serenity cited Goldman Sachs research, stating that the total addressable market (TAM) for the optical communications market could grow to $154 billion by 2028, while the CPO market size is expected to surge from nearly zero to $91 billion within the next two and a half years.He stated that companies including Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI), SIVE, and other continuous-wave laser-related enterprises all hold strategic value, and believes the market may once again replicate the investment opportunities brought by the EML laser supply crunch. He is currently focusing on related assets in the continuous-wave laser supply chain, such as SOI, Tower Semiconductor (TSEM), and SIVE.

“White-Haired Stock Guru” Serenity posted on X platform, stating that the public often interprets his stock picks as “harvesting retail investors,” but he hopes his recommended targets can change the market’s perception that certain stocks are only suitable for short-term speculation, and prove that high-quality companies also possess long-term holding value.Serenity pointed out that the only Chinese concept stock he recommended last year was the optical module manufacturer Zhongji Innolight (Innolight), which has since hit an all-time high, achieving a cumulative gain in the triple digits. He stated that his investment logic is primarily based on Western institutional research frameworks, comprehensively referencing research views from institutions such as JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, and focusing closely on demand changes from US cloud computing giants like Google and Microsoft.Furthermore, Serenity mentioned that when researching individual stocks, he also continuously evaluates geopolitical and game theory factors, for example in his analysis of companies like AXT. He believes that the perspective of foreign investors can bring different types of Alpha to the Chinese stock market, and he looks forward to further exploration of investment opportunities in the Chinese stock market in the future.Regarding the rumor circulating in the market that there is a Chinese institutional team behind him, Serenity denied it, emphasizing that he is just an individual investor who shares his investment thoughts daily.

For banks financing the construction of AI infrastructure, such innovative instruments could become a new means of risk management. (The Information)

Christian Mueller-Glissman, head of asset allocation research at Goldman Sachs, stated that the recent sell-off in the technology sector is a healthy signal following an increase in speculative positions in tech stocks.Christian Mueller-Glissman said: "This was a very strong upward rally that significantly pushed these momentum stocks higher. A bit of consolidation might not be a bad thing."After Broadcom released a disappointing earnings outlook, Mueller-Glissman warned against generalizing the performance of highly cyclical tech hardware and semiconductor sectors. In his view, the biggest threat to the stock market would be if investors begin to question the strong earnings growth that has driven the market higher so far this year. (CNBC)
