Goldman Sachs stated on Tuesday that its revenue for the first half of 2026 was $37,565 million, and it made $12,258 million, a 45% increase over the same period last year.

The impressive quarterly results show «the strength» of Goldman Sachs’ global franchise, according to a press release from Chairman and CEO David Solomon.

“Growth has accelerated across all our business lines. Clients turn to us to lead their most strategic and far-reaching operations, which often serve as a catalyst for activity across the entire franchise,” he said.

He also noted that artificial intelligence (AI) will help increase employee productivity, although he does not expect it to have a significant impact on the bank’s workforce.
