12:48 PM EST, 01/15/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Goldman Sachs ( GS ) Chief Executive Officer David Solomon said Thursday that teams at the company have been looking at prediction markets as emerging opportunities in the markets.

Speaking at a call with analysts, Solomon said he has met with the leadership of two big prediction companies in the last two weeks, learning more about their business.

Some activities within the prediction markets, particularly the ones that are regulated by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, look like derivative contract activities, Solomon said, adding that he sees opportunities where these cross into its business.

The company has been working to understand the regulatory structure that's

going to develop around prediction markets, Solomon further said.

Shares of the company were up over 4% in recent Thursday trading.
