Goldman Sachs10-K: Backlog growth

Investment banking backlog grew significantly in 2025, driven by advisory and debt underwriting.

What happened

A significant increase in the investment banking backlog suggests a strong pipeline of future M&A and underwriting transactions. This increased deal flow will likely strain existing resources, creating a need for tools and services that improve deal execution efficiency, data management, and client communication.
