Dear Reader, Over the past few weeks, I’ve been urging my readers to claim their stake in what I believe to be the biggest IPO of the decade. And I’m glad I did. Because over the last 21 days, three critical events happened in rapid succession: ✓ March 17th: SpaceX crossed 10,000 active satellites in orbit. The estimated threshold for offering full service to most of the globe. Two-thirds of every satellite circling Earth now belongs to ONE company. ✓ April 1st: Elon filed the confidential IPO paperwork with the SEC. The public filing could drop any day now. And when it does, the stampede begins. ✓ April 6th: Another rocket launched carrying 25 more satellites. Proving SpaceX isn't slowing down. They're accelerating. Building the network that will become the world's first global internet carrier. SpaceX just hit every technical milestone it needed to justify going public. Everything I predicted is happening... right on schedule. And there's still a small window to get in BEFORE the public can buy shares. But that window is closing fast. The moment the public filing drops, millions of investors will learn about this opportunity for the first time. You won't be early anymore. You'll be competing with the crowd. And your shot at early gains will be gone forever. See how to claim your stake in SpaceX before it’s too late. We have so much to look forward to, Jeff Brown

Despite the financials sector's struggles this year, investment banking giantGoldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) has been a strong performer over the past 52 weeks. Shares of GS have delivered a total return exceeding 80% during that period as the company’s advisory and equity trading businesses boom. Building on that momentum, Goldman’s latest earnings release beat Wall Street expectations on several fronts. Still, the stock fell modestly after the report as investors focused on a few signs of weakness.
Nonetheless, Goldman’s outlook remains constructive. Here's what current shareholders and prospective investors should know. Goldman Outperforms Estimates, Hitting Several Quarterly RecordsIn Q1 2026, Goldman generated impressive results. Revenue rose more than 14% year-over-year (YOY) to $17.23 billion, modestly beating estimates of $16.66 billion (which had projected growth near 10%). Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) improved roughly 24% YOY, comfortably topping analyst expectations of $15.92 and the roughly 13% growth analysts had forecast. Overall, the company reported its second-highest net revenues, net earnings, and diluted EPS in its 157-year history. Several underlying metrics reached record levels, led by the company’s largest revenue driver, Global Banking and Markets. Net revenues in this segment rose 19% YOY to $12.7 billion, with equities revenue particularly strong—up 27% YOY to a record $5.33 billion. A large part of Goldman’s equity business involves providing institutional clients with margin financing and short-selling services. This division—known as equity financing—saw net revenues jump 59% YOY to a record $2.6 billion, with the firm making notable progress closing competitive gaps in Asian markets. Assets under supervision in Asset & Wealth Management also hit a record $3.65 trillion, and Goldman’s share repurchases reached an all-time high of $5 billion. Goldman’s investment banking business performed well, too. Total net revenues rose 48% YOY to $2.84 billion, driven by merger-and-acquisition advisory revenue that surged 89% YOY as completed deals increased significantly. Investors Scrutinize Details, Leading Goldman Shares to Sell-OffDespite the beats and record numbers, Goldman shares closed down 1.9% on the day of the results. Several factors contributed to the decline. First, investors may have already priced in high expectations, leaving little room for additional upside even with strong results. There was also disappointment around the firm’s fixed income, currency, and commodities (FICC) revenue, which fell 10% YOY. For stocks that have appreciated substantially like GS, misses on specific line items can trigger pullbacks. Goldman also reported stagnation in its investment banking backlog after seven consecutive quarters of growth. That backlog ended 2025 at a four-year high, and the surge in completed deals during the quarter put downward pressure on it—so the pause is not necessarily alarming. The company also noted that the conflict in the Middle East has disrupted some business activity, saying "with the conflict in the Middle East, IPO activity slowed a little bit, particularly in March." Goldman expects IPO activity to rebound once conditions stabilize. Analysts Call for Moderate Upside in GoldmanWhile some analysts trimmed price targets after the report, the updated targets remain optimistic. New targets tracked by MarketBeat averaged roughly $993, implying just under 10% upside for GS shares. That average sits well above the MarketBeat consensus price target near $919, which implies minimal upside. Overall, Goldman remains well positioned, generating strong results across many core businesses. Yet the market reaction shows investors are pricing in very high expectations and are willing, to some degree, to punish shares for weakness in specific segments. That raises the question of how much further the market will let the stock run. A clear resolution to the conflict in the Middle East would remove a meaningful headwind. Historically, Goldman shares tend to outperform the S&P 500 when the United States and Iran make progress toward de-escalation—and underperform when tensions rise. . |
