Goldman Sachs CEO says markets are in "greed" mode as AI firms seek funding

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said investors are showing strong appetite for risk as major artificial intelligence companies prepare to raise large sums from public markets. In an interview with CNBC, Solomon said there is still plenty of liquidity available and described the current market environment as one with “more greed than fear.” He pointed to expected IPO activity from companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic and SpaceX as evidence that investors remain willing to support large AIrelated deals. Solomon also cited Alphabet’s recent stock performance after announcing plans for an $80 billion equity raise tied to AI spending. He said the market response suggests investors are still receptive to companies seeking capital for data centers, chips and other infrastructure needed to expand AI operations.
