[Goldman Sachs CEO: Unprecedented Mega-IPOs Expected This Year, Small-Cap Stocks Face Headwinds] ⑴ Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, in an interview with CNBC on Friday, stated that this year may see some very, very large IPOs, unprecedented in scale. However, he also pointed out that small-cap IPOs are facing headwinds. ⑵ Solomon expressed optimism about the U.S. economic outlook, stating, "We have the opportunity to operate at a higher base growth rate in the coming years," and "We can achieve very strong growth while avoiding excessive inflation." ⑶ Regarding the fiscal situation, Solomon expressed genuine concern about the persistent level of deficits. ⑷ Regarding the departure of General Counsel Kathy Ruemmler, Solomon stated that she had been an outstanding general counsel with deep expertise for the past six years. He "reluctantly accepted Ruemmler's resignation," adding, "I am disappointed that things have come to this point, but I respect her decision, and we will move forward." ⑸ From a market perspective, Solomon's prediction of mega-IPOs points to a recovery in corporate confidence and capital market activity, but the headwinds for small-cap stocks suggest that the financing environment remains differentiated. Concerns about the deficit level reflect Wall Street's long-term wariness of fiscal sustainability. ⑹ Looking ahead, attention should be paid to the actual IPOs this year, particularly whether technology and growth companies will become the main drivers of mega-IPOs, and whether the deficit issue will evolve into a macroeconomic variable affecting long-term interest rates.
