Goldman Sachs Group IncLed SpaceX IPO, generating hundreds of millions in fees; investment banking fees surging.
Major U.S. banks are expected to report second-quarter trading and investment banking revenue near or above records when results begin Tuesday. JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley are set to post earnings, with investment banking fees seen surging 26% and trading revenue up 14% from a year ago, according to KBW analyst Chris McGratty. The quarter was boosted by the largest IPO in history from SpaceX, which generated hundreds of millions in fees for banks led by Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, as well as soft-dollar allocations to hedge funds. Trading desks also benefited from heightened volatility tied to the Iran conflict, which drove swings in oil, rates, and currencies. Wells Fargo analyst Mike Mayo noted that commercial lending demand is returning and consumer credit remains resilient, creating a rare sweet spot for the industry.
