Goldman Sachs appears on track for another strong quarter, with equities trading revenues expected to remain above $5 billion in the second quarter of 2026, according to a Seeking Alpha report. The firm posted a record $5.33 billion in equities trading revenues in the first quarter, a 27% year-over-year jump driven by heightened market volatility and strong institutional client activity. That performance helped push Global Banking & Markets revenues to $12.74 billion, up 19% from a year earlier. Market conditions supporting trading have largely persisted into the second quarter, with AI-related themes and elevated hedge fund participation in Asia continuing to generate volumes. Goldman shares have surged 63.4% over the past year, far outpacing the industry's 29.2% gain.
