David Solomon on the forces shaping capital.
Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon on AI, M&A, and Markets
Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon discusses the factors influencing M&A, IPO activity and AI investment in this January 2026 conversation with Allison Nathan.
For an owner weighing private funding against a public listing, the discussion provides context for testing timing, investor readiness and the capital needed to deliver the business plan.
- Business confidence, regulation and external shocks can change the conditions for a transaction.
- Private-equity exits and companies staying private longer influence the IPO pipeline.
- AI’s long-term potential remains distinct from uncertainty about adoption timing and valuations.

Stephan Feldgoise on what drives a deal.
What’s Driving the Surge in Deal-Making?
Stephan Feldgoise, Goldman Sachs’ head of Global M&A and a partner since 2008, discusses how access to finance, strategic scale and technological change shaped deal activity in late 2025.
For an acquisition team, the useful connection is between strategic intent and funding resilience: a transaction must make commercial sense and remain financeable as conditions change.
- Financing availability supports activity; it does not replace a sound acquisition rationale.
- AI influences acquisitions across power, property, data centres and industrial supply chains.
- Private equity, family offices and private credit broaden options, while tighter credit can affect execution.
Which financing route remains viable if conditions tighten?
New York · Nasdaq MarketSite
The moment a business meets the market.
CoreWeave debuts on Nasdaq!
Nasdaq’s official film marks CoreWeave’s market debut. Open the full recording for the original publisher’s view of this public milestone. The still preview shows the real Nasdaq MarketSite exterior in New York.
A public milestone follows many less visible decisions: how much capital the business needs, which investors fit its strategy and what evidence supports its growth plan. For an owner considering growth funding, those questions begin well before a celebration.
What must the next round of capital make possible?
Paris · Euronext
A real bell. A new market chapter.
SAGESS rings the bell for a new bond
Euronext TV’s official recording marks SAGESS ringing the bell for a new bond issued on Euronext Paris. The full film preserves this historical ceremony from September 2015. The architectural preview shows the historic Palais Brongniart; it does not depict the ceremony’s venue.
Bond markets connect an issuer’s long-term funding needs with investors’ expectations about credit, maturity and return. For a business considering an acquisition across borders, the relevant questions include financing currency, repayment capacity and the match between funding duration and the investment plan. SAGESS’s ceremony offers a market reference for that wider discussion.
Which local details could change a cross-border decision?
Vienna · Historic stock exchange
A European perspective on capital.
The architecture of Vienna’s historic exchange
A gently animated photograph of Vienna’s historic stock exchange offers a quieter view of the institutions that surround European business. This architectural sequence is an animation, rather than footage of a trading session or bond issuance.
For a business planning an acquisition, capital structure is equally about resilience and ambition. Debt capacity, repayment schedules, covenants and shareholder objectives need to support the same operating plan, including the period after completion.
Will the financing still fit after the transaction closes?
