Goldman Sachs: IPO Surge Hits Record, Danger Signal Hasn't Flashed Yet
According to TechFlow Research, Goldman Sachs' July 20 Top of Mind report pointed out that U.S. IPO proceeds in 2026 have already exceeded $125 billion, breaking the full-year record of 2021, and are expected to exceed $200 billion for the full year. But the number of IPOs is only about 60, far lower than the 400 in 1999 and 250 in 2021 during bubble periods, mainly driven by a few mega-tech companies. Goldman Sachs Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Snider believes late-cycle warning signals have not yet appeared, the household sector has become net buyers, annualized IPO proceeds account for only about 1% of the S&P 500 market cap, and market absorption capacity is underestimated. University of Florida Professor Ritter pointed out that high issuance volume predicts low returns, but the signal accuracy is only slightly higher than random (about 52%). Acadian Fund Manager Lamont warned that the issuance wave is one of the "Four Horsemen" of bubbles, but may mark the beginning rather than the end of a bubble; currently, first-day gains do not show extreme speculation signals. All three experts believe that IPO volume is moderate, valuations have not reached bubble levels, first-day gains are not out of control, and true danger signals have not yet appeared. Snider expects company buybacks in 2026 to be about $1.3 trillion, enough to offset new supply. If the AI narrative or corporate earnings undergo a significant shift, market and IPO prospects will change accordingly.

Goldman Sachs: AI Spending Boom Harbors Concerns, Global Stocks Face Style Rotation
According to TechFlow Research, the Goldman Sachs Global Weekly Outlook noted that global stock markets fell approximately 2% last week. Intensified momentum unwinding dragged the technology sector down by 5%, while Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan saw declines ranging from 3% to 9%. Middle East tensions pushed Brent crude back above $88 per barrel, with energy and defensive sectors outperforming. The Goldman Sachs strategy team warned that the AI capital expenditure boom is accumulating risks. If the profitability of large-cap technology stocks declines before AI returns materialize, the stock market will face a double shock. Its long-term "regime-neutral" portfolio indicates lower equity weight, lower technology weight, and higher real asset allocation, but the cost of comprehensive position reduction in the short term is too high. Goldman Sachs proposed five compromise strategies: tilting towards quality factors, increasing allocation to real assets such as commodities and infrastructure, diversifying geographically to discounted markets such as Europe and Japan, hedging tail risks by going long volatility through options, and selectively participating in application-layer targets with stronger AI monetization capabilities.

Goldman Sachs: After Kimi K3 Release, Zhipu and MiniMax Plummet, Era of Compute Monopoly Faces End
According to TechFlow Research, Goldman Sachs' July 18 report pointed out that Moonshot AI released the Kimi K3 model, with 2.8 trillion parameters, surpassing Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol to top the Arena.ai coding leaderboard, with API pricing at $2.3 per million tokens setting a new high for Chinese models. Two days after the release, Zhipu AI fell 28%, MiniMax fell 16%, Nasdaq 100 index futures fell over 1.8%, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index cumulatively fell over 18% from highs. Goldman Sachs believes Kimi K3 marks a turning point: a Chinese lab unable to match the largest pre-training compute capacity in the West rapidly narrowed the gap with top US models through architectural innovation and reinforcement learning, proving that "scaling" is no longer the only winning path. Goldman Sachs warns that the "compute expansion era" may be ending, and the AI infrastructure investment logic built around "the more compute, the better" needs to be rewritten. Goldman Sachs maintains a Buy rating on MiniMax and Neutral on Zhipu AI. Future focus should be on the intensive launch of 2-5 trillion parameter models such as Zhipu GLM, Alibaba Qwen, and MiniMax M3 Pro.

Goldman Sachs: Data Center Power Scramble Spurs 50GWh Energy Storage Growth, FLNC Secures Exclusive NVIDIA Deal
According to TechFlow Research, Goldman Sachs' July 16 energy storage report pointed out that electricity demand from data centers is surging, traditional grid expansion requires four to eight years, and energy storage has become the fastest solution with a 12 to 18-month deployment cycle. Goldman Sachs estimates that by 2030, behind-the-meter energy storage opportunities in the US will bring about 50GWh of increment, plus 11GWh from 800V DC data centers, total US energy storage deployment will reach 172GWh, significantly upwardly revised from the previous 112GWh. Globally, annual energy storage installations are expected to reach 2100GWh by 2040. Goldman Sachs believes energy storage is transitioning from renewable energy supporting equipment to a necessity for AI infrastructure, which will change the industry valuation logic. In terms of targets, FLNC (Buy) secured exclusive battery partner qualification for Nvidia DSX Vera Rubin, data center pipeline projects reached 12GW, up 30% sequentially; CATL (Buy) has about 30% global energy storage market share, already used in Shanghai SenseTime data center; Tesla (Neutral) 2025 energy storage deployment 46.7GWh, energy business 2028 estimated revenue 29 billion USD; Energy Vault (Neutral) received 6x EV/EBITDA valuation; LGES (Buy) North America ESS capacity expected to reach 50GWh by end of 2026. Canadian Solar, Ford, Samsung SDI, Shoals, Sungrow are also worth watching. Goldman Sachs emphasizes the need to distinguish those with real order support

Underwriter investment banks including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan Chase have arranged preliminary meetings between the company's management and investors to gauge institutional investor interest and investment scale. Anthropic's goal is to go public as early as October. If the listing proceeds as planned, the company could enter the securities market ahead of its competitor, OpenAI. Anthropic raised $65 billion in its Series H financing in May, with a post-money valuation of $965 billion; its valuation in the over-the-counter market has already reached approximately $1.2 trillion. Measures by the U.S. government remain a variable factor.The U.S. Department of War listed Anthropic as a national security "supply chain risk" enterprise in March, and Anthropic has sued the federal government over the measure; the U.S. Department of Commerce restricted foreign access to the top-tier AI models Fable 5 and Mythos 5 in June, lifting the export controls 18 days later.

Wall Street investment banks’ second-quarter fee income expected to hit four-and-a-half year high, with SpaceX IPO as key catalyst
According to data compiled by Bloomberg, the five largest U.S. investment banks are expected to generate approximately $11.1 billion in investment banking fee income for the second quarter of 2026, a 27% increase year-on-year, marking the highest level since 2021. The growth is primarily driven by the SpaceX IPO and a resurgence in large M&A deals. The SpaceX IPO alone contributed approximately $500 million in fees to the 23 underwriting banks, setting a new record for the highest fees ever generated from a public offering. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley each earned around $100 million from the deal.Additionally, M&A advisory fees for the five major banks are expected to rise approximately 30% year-over-year to over $4 billion. Market observers believe that future listing plans of major tech companies such as SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic could further drive growth in Wall Street investment banking activities.

Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Tighten Prediction Market Trading Rules Amid Rising Insider Trading Concerns
amid growing insider trading concerns surrounding prediction markets, Goldman Sachs has prohibited its employees from trading prediction market contracts related to the bank's own events, elections, financial markets, macroeconomic data, and geopolitics. Financial institutions such as Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, and Bank of America are also formulating or updating relevant policies. Bank of America, in particular, has begun clarifying prohibited practices in prediction market trading to its employees.Previously, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Department of Justice accused a Google employee of using non-public information to trade "Search of the Year" related contracts on Polymarket, profiting approximately $1.2 million. Legal experts note that the CFTC still lacks well-established case law in enforcing insider trading rules for prediction markets, and the wide variety of prediction market contracts further complicates regulatory oversight.Currently, Kalshi and Polymarket have respectively launched employment verification tools and collaborated with Chainalysis and Palantir to monitor suspicious trading activities.
