华尔街投行二季度手续费收入预计达四年半新高，SpaceX IPO成重要推动因素

Odaily Planet Daily reported that according to data compiled by Bloomberg, the five major U.S. investment banks are expected to generate approximately $11.1 billion in investment banking fee revenue in the second quarter of 2026, a year-over-year increase of 27%, marking the highest level since 2021. The growth is primarily driven by the SpaceX IPO and a revival in large-scale M&A transactions. Among them, the SpaceX IPO contributed approximately $500 million in fees to the 23 underwriting banks, setting a historical record for public offerings. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley each earned around $100 million in revenue.

Additionally, M&A advisory fees for the five major investment banks are expected to rise approximately 30% year-over-year, exceeding $4 billion. The market believes that future IPO plans of major tech companies such as SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic could further drive growth in Wall Street investment banking businesses. (Financial Times)
