What happened

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon said Tuesday that investors have shifted decisively into "greed" mode as markets are poised to test an unprecedented fundraising wave for giant artificial intelligence firms.

Why it matters

Asked by CNBC's Leslie Picker whether markets could support a string of massive equity offerings from the upcoming initial public offerings of OpenAI, Anthropic and SpaceX, Solomon said that there is ample capital available for the deals.

Common ground

"There's plenty of liquidity in the system if the world continues to remain as optimistic," Solomon said.
