Summary · why it matters

Goldman Sachs generated $985 million in equity underwriting revenue in the second quarter, a 130% increase from a year earlier, placing it ahead of other large U.S. banks as Wall Street recorded its strongest second-quarter equity capital markets revenue since 2021. Goldman held the lead-left position on SpaceX's record-setting IPO and led more than $85 billion in equity financing for Alphabet. Goldman and Morgan Stanley each reportedly collected roughly $100 million for their roles in the SpaceX offering, while Morgan Stanley's quarterly equity underwriting revenue rose 70% to $851 million. JPMorgan Chase generated $829 million in equity advisory revenue, up 78% from the previous year, and banks also benefited from active demand for equity-linked offerings including convertible bonds, with issuance reaching more than $166.7 billion this year, up 82% from 2025. Morgan Stanley projects artificial intelligence spending could reach $1.3 trillion next year, potentially creating further demand for capital, and Anthropic is seeking investor meetings ahead of a potential large IPO as soon as October, though sustaining the quarter's revenue may be difficult as some activity was pulled forward.
