Goldman Sachs Led M&A Deal Value at $687.6 Billion Through Q3 2026

Goldman Sachs led financial advisers by the value of M&A transactions they advised on during the first nine months of 2026, while Houlihan Lokey topped the deal count, separating the period’s largest-dollar adviser from its busiest dealmaker. Goldman’s advised deals totaled $687.6 billion, up 52.3% from Q1-Q3 2025. The bank rose from second place in the year-earlier value ranking. It advised on 81 transactions valued at $1 billion or more, including 22 worth more than $10 billion. Houlihan Lokey advised on 250 deals, retaining the top spot by volume from Q1-Q3 2025. The value and volume rankings measure different things: the total value of transactions advised on and the number of transactions, respectively. They do not measure advisory fees.
