Market Chatter: Goldman Sachs Executives Set for More Than $500 Million in Special Bonuses
MT newswire2026/10/08 11:5907:59 AM EDT, 10/08/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Goldman Sachs (GS) is preparing more than $500 million in equity awards for about 20 senior executives after the bank outperformed most peers over five years, Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing filings and people familiar with the matter. CEO David Solomon is expected to receive more than $100 million, while President John Waldron and business heads Ashok Varadhan, Dan Dees and Marc Nachmann are also among the recipients, the report said. The awards stem from a 2021 compensation program tied to Goldman's stock performance and results relative to peers, it added. The final awards will be determined when the five-year performance period ends later this month, according to Bloomberg. Goldman Sachs did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment. (Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.

Latest Update October 8 – Pacira BioSciences (PCRX.O) shares surged by 44%, hitting a more than three-year high at $36.30. If the rally holds, PCRX is poised for its largest single-day gain on record. Pharmaceutical company Viatris (VTRS.O) will acquire Pacira BioSciences in a $1.65 billion cash deal, offering $36.50 per share. The offer represents a premium of approximately 44.8% over Pacira’s recent closing price of $25.20. The transaction will add Pacira’s non-opioid pain medications Exparel and Zilretta to Viatris' product portfolio. Viatris shares fell 2.6% to $17.04. JPMorgan stated: “We believe this acquisition will not significantly alter VTRS' overall financial profile in the short or long term, and expect Exparel’s sales to gradually decline post-2030 due to generic market entry.” Both parties expect to complete the transaction by the end of 2026. Including intraday fluctuations, PCRX shares have risen 40.2% year-to-date, while VTRS has gained 36.8%.
