JP Morgan has emerged as leading financial adviser in terms of deal value within the power sector for the first half (H1) of 2025, while Rothschild has topped by volume, based on the latest financial advisers league table by GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company. The insight from GlobalData's deals database analysis revealed that JP Morgan advised on deals worth $44bn, securing its position at the top by value. Rothschild took the lead in volume by advising on a total of ten transactions. GlobalData lead analyst Aurojyoti Bose comments: 'Rothschild & Co was the top adviser by volume in H1 2024 and managed to retain its leadership position by this metric in H1 2025 as well. 'Meanwhile, there was an improvement in JP Morgan's ranking by value from the second position in H1 2024 to the top spot in H1 2025. This was due to involvement in big-ticket deals, which resulted in a massive jump in terms of value. During H1 2025, JP Morgan advised on five billion-dollar deals that also include three mega deals valued more than $10 billion.' Despite topping by value, JP Morgan also claimed second place by volume with nine deals. They were closely followed by Evercore, Lazard and Carnegie, each having seven deals. In terms of deal value rankings after JP Morgan, Evercore stood second with advisories worth $33.5bn.

Goldman Sachs puts brakes on layoffs after strong Q2: FT
Goldman Sachs has decided to scrap a second round of planned job cuts this year after its investment banking unit produced stronger-than-expected results in the second quarter, according to a report.. A surge in investment banking fees and another stellar performance by the David Solomon-led lender's traders convinced the bank's top brass to pause plans for any performance-related layoffs, according to the Financial times, which cited unnamed people familiar with the matter. The cuts had been pencilled in for September if there was any severe economic turmoil from President Trump's tariff and trade policy, the FT added. Advertisement 3 The recent strong performance by Goldman Sachs could be seen as a vindication by the bank's top brass to hand CEO David Solomon an $80 million, five-year 'golden handcuffs' deal. AFP via Getty Images The Wall Street giant, based at 200 West St. in lower Manhattan, currently employs roughly 46,000 people. A Goldman Sachs spokesperson declined to comment. In March, the bank moved to trim roughly 3% to 5% of its workforce in what it called at the time a 'strategic resource assessment.' Advertisement Layoffs of this kind are a regular feature in the finance industry when firms look to rein in expenses and boot out underperformers. Goldman posted a $3.72 billion profit for the period ending June 30 when it released its second-quarter results last week. It amounted to earnings of $10.91 per share, blowing past the estimate forecast by analysts at the London Stock Exchange Group of $9.53 per share. Advertisement 3 Goldman traders have raked in huge profits from the economic turmoil sparked by President Trump's Liberation Day tariffs. REUTERS The strong numbers could be seen as a vindication for the move to award Solomon and his lieutenant, chief operating officer John Waldron, $80 million golden handcuffs bonuses earlier this year. Solomon has been under fire in recent years for his controversial side-hustle as a house DJ and his use of company aircraft, although the 63-year-old has since stepped back from spinning records in public. The decision to halt the planned job cuts comes during a volatile year for Wall Street. 2025 opened with initial optimism around deregulation and dealmaking under Trump. Advertisement 3 Solomon was one of the CEOs present at President Trump's 'Invest in America' event in Washington, DC, last month. AP But a slowdown in M&A activity was brought about when the commander-in-chief threatened to declare a global trade war, singling out many of the US's trading partners that he believed had treated this country unfairly. Goldman last week also posted a more than 25% year-over-year increase in investment banking fees, suggesting that executives are confident about a pipeline of deals that will be struck once the White House has inked fresh trading arrangements with dozens of countries. According to data from the London Stock Exchange Group, industrywide investment banking fees have climbed about 2% this year to roughly $67 billion. Trading has also been a bright spot for Goldman, along with rivals Morgan Stanley and Citi, with the firm benefiting from heightened market volatility in 2025 that has fueled demand for equity and fixed-income trading services. The financial giant's trading desks notched $4.3 billion in revenue for the second quarter — about $600 million above analysts' forecasts — with some insiders citing savvy bets surrounding the so-called 'TACO trade' — or wagers that 'Trump Always Chickens Out' on his tariff threats.

Those include Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Bank of America Corp., they added, asking not to be identified because the proceedings are confidential.
