Goldman Sachs shares have surged to highs near $1,062 (up 20% YTD and 70% over 12 months) as the bank advised M&A deals worth over $647 billion, posted $17.2 billion in net revenue (up 14% YoY) with $2.8 billion in investment banking fees, $4 billion in FICC and $5.3 billion in equities, and stands to earn sizable fees from the SpaceX IPO and potential OpenAI/Anthropic listings. The strong trading boom, continued deal flow and technical momentum above the 50- and 100-day EMAs with a next target near $1,200 could bolster institutional interest in crypto, tokenized assets, custody services and fundraising across CEX, DEX and DeFi channels.
