Goldman Sachs is a global financial supermarket that advises corporations and governments on big deals, trades securities, and manages money for institutions and wealthy individuals.
Money comes from investment banking fees, trading, and asset management. Net income hit USD 17.18B in 2025 with a 13.73% net margin, though revenue dipped slightly from 2024's USD 126.85B.
Scale and brand in M&A advisory and trading create switching costs for clients, but JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup compete fiercely, and regulatory pressure and fintech entrants like Robinhood are eroding its retail edge.
