THE APEX TIMES
Investment banks including Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are positioned at the front of deal-making activity across the power industry during the first three quarters of 2026, according to an industry tally cited by Yahoo Finance.
Goldman Sachs has taken the No. 1 spot for advisory work in power-sector mergers and acquisitions during the first three quarters of 2026, according to a deal-value ranking cited by Yahoo Finance. The report places Goldman Sachs at the top by total transaction value across the period.
The tally credited Goldman Sachs with advisory engagements on power-sector transactions totaling $148.8 billion in deal value for Q1 to Q3 2026. The figure is presented as an aggregation of deal activity rather than a single announced transaction, indicating the bank’s advisory footprint across multiple deals during the span.
Morgan Stanley is also identified as a leading adviser in the same power-sector league table, alongside Goldman Sachs. However, the materials provided here do not specify Morgan Stanley’s exact deal value or rank position within the ranking.
The ranking context is focused on the power industry, which in recent years has been shaped by a mix of grid investment, generation and storage buildouts, and broader restructuring of utilities and energy infrastructure. In that environment, banks that win advisory mandates often do so across a range of transaction types, including acquisitions, mergers, and other corporate restructuring activities that require financing and execution expertise.
Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley both operate major capital markets and investment banking platforms, and their positions in industry adviser rankings are typically interpreted as indicators of market activity and mandate flow. In practice, these league tables often reflect how often banks are retained by sellers, buyers, or both, and the scale of the deals they support.
For the period covered, the disclosed datapoint is Goldman Sachs’ $148.8 billion in power-sector M&A advisory deal value in Q1 to Q3 2026. The reporting provided here does not break down the deals by geography, buyer type, or asset segment (such as renewables, utilities, transmission, or grid services), nor does it identify which specific transactions contributed to the total.
It is also not stated in the available material whether the ranking measures only announced deals that reached signature, includes completed transactions only, or uses a broader definition of deal participation. Without those methodological details, the number should be read as a published summary of advisory activity rather than a granular audit of outcomes.
