But the uneven performance (strong equities vs. weak fixed income) shows this isn't a perfectly smooth ride. Profits are up. Up 19% to $5.6B in Q1 2026, beating expectations, and it's being driven by a real return to dealmaking. ~ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝘁 𝗝𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗱 Investment banking is back in motion, with M&A activity pushing fees up roughly 48%, while equities trading delivered record performance, up about 27%. ~ 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀) 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘁 Overall revenue climbed around 14%, showing broad strength across the business. That said, it's not perfect; fixed-income trading slipped about 10%, reminding everyone this isn't a straight-line climb. ~ 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲 The bigger picture?
