Goldman Sachs is an American multinational investment bank and financial services company.
According to CNBC, Nvidia has signed a memorandum of understanding with Apollo Global Management, Blackstone, BlackRock, Brookfield Asset Management, Goldman Sachs, and KKR to jointly establish a financing platform for Nvidia customers, aiming to mobilize over $500 billion in third-party capital for hyperscale data center construction and Nvidia hardware procurement. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang characterized this as the first time AI chips have become an "investable asset class," stating they possess revenue-generating capabilities, long service lives, and can be transferred across customers, while analogizing compute infrastructure to electricity and the internet. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink defined the project as the "next future of financial engineering" following the securitization of mortgages in the 1970s, and stated that more funds would be raised as soon as possible. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon revealed that this collaboration was initiated by Jensen Huang. Currently, some funds have already been raised; the parties will provide financing support for GPUs and data centers through institutional credit, insurance capital, and private capital, helping end users complete AI infrastructure construction without tapping their own balance sheets.

Odaily News: Goldman Sachs data shows that global hedge funds have increased their stock holdings for the second consecutive week, reversing the significant reduction in risk exposure seen in late July, indicating that institutional investors' risk appetite is warming up.The report shows that overall hedge fund trading activity has risen to its highest level in seven weeks, with long buying volume exceeding short selling volume at a ratio of 1.4:1. Meanwhile, single-stock trading has seen its first net buying in nearly a month, suggesting that fund managers are beginning to re-establish exposure to individual stocks.In terms of sector allocation, the materials sector has emerged as one of the areas with the strongest capital demand, experiencing the largest short-covering rally in nearly two years. Goldman Sachs noted that the recent improvement in market sentiment has led to the rapid unwinding of previously established short positions, further boosting related sector performance.Earlier, hedge funds significantly reduced their stock positions in late July due to concerns over economic growth, heightened market volatility, and policy uncertainty. This consecutive buying spree suggests that some institutions are once again betting on a rebound in risk assets.

According to Odaily, Randi Abernethy, Head of Clearing and Group Risk at Bullish, stated that the U.S. Senate's failure to pass the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act) does not mean the digital asset market will stop developing; rather, it highlights the necessity of establishing a federal regulatory framework.Abernethy noted that during the Senate's consideration of the CLARITY Act, traditional U.S. financial institutions have continued to accelerate their entry into the on-chain market. JPMorgan Chase has explored tokenized ETF holdings through a production pilot with the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), and more than 50 institutions (including BlackRock and Goldman Sachs) are also participating in the development of tokenized stock and Treasury bond infrastructure. The current regulatory discussion is no longer just a "crypto industry issue," but one that concerns the future infrastructure of the entire financial system.Abernethy cited the 2008 financial crisis as an example, noting that financial risk spreads along shared infrastructure, and even institutions not directly involved in related assets can be affected. Today, the stablecoin market size has exceeded $100 billion, with a large portion of stablecoin reserves invested in U.S. Treasuries. If a major stablecoin were to face a crisis, it could impact liquidity in traditional financial markets. She stated that supporters of the CLARITY Act believe the bill could establish a unified regulatory framework for the digital asset market, including core investor protection mechanisms such as customer asset segregation, conflict of interest management, capital requirements, and information disclosure.

According to TechFlow Research, Goldman Sachs' August 5 research report upgraded the 2027 global AI PCB market size by 38% to $38 billion, and the AI CCL market size by 18% to $22 billion, and issued 2028 forecasts for the first time: PCB market $84 billion, CCL market $48 billion, with compound annual growth rates from 2026 to 2028 reaching 148% and 161% respectively. AI server PCB shipments will increase from 1.3 million square meters in 2026 to 4.5 million square meters in 2028, and CCL shipments from 42 million sheets to 131 million sheets. The proportion of HDI above 6 layers will rise from 35% in 2027 to 66% in 2028, and the proportion of CCL above M9 will rise from 41% to 58%. Goldman Sachs gave buy ratings to Shengyi Technology, Victory Giant Technology, Wus Printed Circuit, Panasonic HD, Mitsui Kinzoku, Nitto Boseki, Shennan Circuits, Gold Circuit Electronics, HannStar Board, Zhen Ding Tech, and Elite Material. Goldman Sachs believes capacity expansion cannot keep up with demand growth, industry capacity utilization rates will remain high in the next two years, and the tight supply-demand pattern will not change.

According to TechFlow Research, SpaceX's first earnings report after listing showed Q2 revenue exceeded Goldman Sachs' expectations by about 17%, with GAAP operating profit exceeding by about 92%. AI business quarterly revenue was $7.67 billion, far exceeding Goldman Sachs' expectation of $5.6 billion; Goldman Sachs raised its 2026 AI revenue forecast by 49% to $23.3 billion. Starlink broadband subscriber count exceeded expectations, quarterly ARPU was flat quarter-over-quarter, and management expects to achieve a $100 billion annual revenue run rate by December. Starship's 14th launch may take place within a month, with hopes to achieve the first orbital attempt. Goldman Sachs raised the target price from $205 to $220, maintaining a Buy rating; the current stock price of $125 implies about 76% upside potential. Goldman Sachs believes SpaceX is simultaneously opening three trillion-level markets: space launch, satellite connectivity, and AI computing power. Short-term lock-up expiration may bring stock price volatility, but the medium-to-long-term risk-reward ratio is attractive. Goldman Sachs expects 2026 full-year free cash flow to be negative $26.3 billion, with capital expenditure remaining high.

According to TechFlow Research, SanDisk's Q2 revenue was $8.97 billion, exceeding Goldman Sachs' expectation by 1.4% and market expectation by 2.9%, with a gross margin of 84.6% and non-GAAP EPS of $39.25. The Q3 revenue guidance midpoint is $10.55 billion, below Goldman Sachs' expectation by 9.5% and market expectation by 5.4%; gross margin guidance of 84% is 267 basis points below market expectation; EPS guidance midpoint of $45 meets market expectation but is lower than Goldman Sachs' $49.95. The stock price has retraced 40% from its June high. Goldman Sachs issued a Buy rating in its first coverage report on August 5, with a target price of $2,200, corresponding to approximately 54% upside potential. Goldman Sachs believes the negative reaction after the earnings report is mainly due to expectation gap correction, not fundamental deterioration; AI data center demand for NAND is forming a new growth curve, and newly signed long-term agreements are improving revenue visibility. Goldman Sachs maintains a Neutral rating on Micron, believing SanDisk's poor guidance will also drag down Micron, as the two companies' end-user demand in the NAND storage market highly overlaps.

According to TechFlow Research, Goldman Sachs' August 3 position tracking report shows that the volume of long sales for global information technology stocks last week reached the highest level since 2014, with the total selling volume over two consecutive days ranking second highest in nearly a decade. Hedge funds' total leverage gave back half of its year-to-date gains, and net leverage turned negative year-to-date. Retail margin balances in South Korea and Japan began to reverse after reaching historical extremes, while US retail investors are also reducing semiconductor stock holdings. Speculative net shorts in VIX futures have largely been cleared. Goldman Sachs believes the intensity of deleveraging may have peaked, but the inertia of capital outflows persists. Individual stock implied volatility rose to the highest level since 2020, index correlation fell to low levels, and the market is shifting from trading the AI sector broadly to differentiated pricing of individual stocks. Bond funds and money market funds are the main drivers of capital inflows this year; equity funds saw inflows of $34 billion in July, with an absolute scale far smaller than that of the bond market. Goldman Sachs judges that the stock selection environment is improving, but sector beta trading still faces pressure.

According to TechFlow Research, Palantir's Q2 revenue was $1.95 billion, up 93% year-over-year, beating market expectations by 7%, with the after-hours stock price rising 15% following the earnings release. U.S. commercial business grew 150% year-over-year, accelerating further from 133% in the previous quarter. U.S. government business grew 90% year-over-year, also higher than 84% in Q1. Average revenue from the top 20 customers was $124 million (up 67% year-over-year), total contract value was $2.1 billion (up 118% year-over-year), and net revenue retention rate was 157%. Goldman Sachs raised its 12-month price target from $183 to $204, maintaining a Neutral rating, implying approximately 62% upside potential. Goldman Sachs believes enterprise AI deployment is shifting from single models to multi-model combinations, and sovereign AI demand is creating incremental opportunities. Palantir helps enterprises embed AI into workflows while retaining data control, and this positioning could become a growth catalyst for the next phase. Goldman Sachs also raised revenue forecasts for 2026 to 2028, with main concerns being that commercial business growth may slow down during a macro downturn.

According to Fortune magazine, Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio issued his strongest market warning to date on the "CEO Diary" program, explicitly stating that the current market bubble driven by the AI boom has exhibited "classic characteristics" highly similar to those on the eve of the 1929 Great Depression and the 2000 internet bubble. He directly expressed agreement with the assessment made by Jeremy Grantham, co-founder of GMO and a previous guest on the same program, who called it "the largest investment bubble in American history." Dalio pointed out that the core crisis of the bubble lies in the "confusion between wealth and money"—the paper wealth held by investors cannot be directly consumed. Once the market reverses and everyone sells off simultaneously, asset prices could plummet from $100 to $25, while debt remains not a penny less. He also identified two trigger factors for "bursting the bubble": rising interest rates and a surge in stock issuances. Currently, SpaceX has completed the largest IPO in history, and Anthropic and OpenAI are rushing to list with trillion-dollar valuations, which is precisely the real-world manifestation of the latter. In terms of bubble judgments, Wall Street institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Apollo, and BCA Research are also shifting stance, acknowledging that there is an "earnings bubble" in the technology sector rather than a simple valuation bubble. Dalio places this round of risk within his "Big Cycle" framework, warning that the bubble bursting is not only a financial event but could also become a trigger for political polarization and geopolitical conflicts—at that time, the real risk may not be portfolio losses, but rather with

According to TechFlow Research, Goldman Sachs' July AI Adoption Tracker Report shows that the U.S. corporate AI adoption rate rose to 21.5%, an increase of 0.9 percentage points from the previous month, and is expected to reach 24.3% in six months. The Gallup survey shows that 47% of U.S. employees stated that their organizations have adopted AI, higher than 41% in the previous quarter. Semiconductor revenue is expected to reach $834 billion by the end of 2026; AI-related hardware investment has surpassed 2022 levels, reaching $463 billion, accounting for 1.4% of GDP. Data center-related construction jobs have increased by 290,000 since 2022, with an average monthly increase of about 14,000. Layoffs caused by AI cumulatively reached 102,000 in the first half of the year. Goldman Sachs believes that AI is moving from the proof-of-concept stage to the actual deployment stage, economic penetration is accelerating, but the labor impact remains concentrated in specific industries. Academic research shows that AI boosts productivity by an average of about 23%, and industries with higher adoption rates have shown signs of accelerated productivity growth. Goldman Sachs' judgment is that AI is reshaping the economic structure, and the market may be underestimating the depth of AI's integration into the economic system. Goldman Sachs Research Report Analysis: Corporate AI adoption rate rose to 21.5%, data center construction jobs increased by 290,000.

According to TechFlow Research, Goldman Sachs released the monthly update of its US Stock Conviction List on August 3, adding Applied Materials (AMAT), Delta Air Lines (DAL), Microsoft (MSFT), O'Reilly Automotive (ORLY), Viking Holdings (VIK), and UPS (United Parcel Service), and removing Broadcom (AVGO), Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), and ServiceNow (NOW). In July, the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index outperformed the S&P 500 Index by approximately 435 basis points, and index correlation fell to a near-decade low. Goldman Sachs believes the stock selection environment is improving following the unwinding of AI momentum, with new additions spanning six sectors: semiconductor equipment, aviation, logistics, auto parts, cruise lines, and enterprise software. MSFT and AMAT carry the AI computing power logic, while the four non-AI stocks bet on economic and consumer resilience. The four removed stocks still maintain a Buy rating; their removal reflects the committee's view that there are more attractive opportunities on the current list.

According to TechFlow Research, a Goldman Sachs research report on August 2 pointed out that the market commonly uses approximately $800 billion capex of hyperscalers in 2026 to estimate AI investment, which actually underestimates the global scale by about $200 billion. After adjustments for private companies, non-US enterprises, etc., Goldman Sachs estimates global AI investment in 2026 to be approximately $1.019 trillion, with the US at approximately $581 billion. The figures derived from three independent estimation methods (Augmented Hyperscaler Method, Gross Profit Adjustment Method, Trade Data Method) are highly consistent. AI investment as a share of US GDP is expected to rise from 1.8% in 2026 to 2.5% in 2027, reaching 2.8% in 2028, entering the historical range of general-purpose technology infrastructure cycles.
