NEW YORK - Goldman Sachs Group Inc (NYSE:GS).'s Chief Financial Officer Dennis Coleman offered an optimistic forecast for Wall Street's transaction landscape, anticipating a more favorable environment for deals by 2024. Speaking at their Financial Services Conference today, Coleman cited supportive macroeconomic factors as the basis for this improved outlook.
While the investment banking sector has faced challenges, Goldman Sachs continues to lead in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) advisory and maintains a strong presence in equity markets. The bank holds the second position in high-yield debt issuance. Despite a downturn in activity, Goldman Sachs benefits from robust backlogs and solid client relationships. Compensation strategies at the bank are shifting towards performance-based incentives, with only modest increases expected, including severance costs.
