Goldman Sachs (GS) earnings 1Q 2026
Goldman Sachs is set to release its first-quarter earnings before the market opens on Monday. Analysts are eagerly anticipating the results, with the following expectations:
– Earnings: $16.49 per share
– Revenue: $16.97 billion
– Trading revenue: Fixed income of $4.92 billion, equities of $4.91 billion
– Investment banking fees: $2.5 billion
The first quarter is expected to be favorable for Goldman Sachs, as trading desks have been active amid AI-led disruption in various sectors. Additionally, the rebound in investment banking is projected to continue, with industry revenue forecasted to increase by 10% in the quarter.
One key focus for analysts will be the impact of the Iran conflict that began on February 28. Events like this can affect commodity prices and potentially sideline corporate clients, leading to a possible delay in merger activity. However, market volatility resulting from geopolitical tensions can also drive trading revenues through fluctuations in interest rates, bond prices, and currencies.
Despite these uncertainties, Goldman Sachs, which heavily relies on its trading and investment banking businesses for revenue, is positioned to navigate these challenges. The bank’s stock has already seen a 3% increase since the beginning of the year.
As the story unfolds, stay tuned for updates on Goldman Sachs’ performance in the first quarter.
