• Neutral Sentiment: Broader industry context: big U.S. banks, including Goldman, raised lobbying spend — this shows heightened regulatory engagement but is an industry‑level dynamic rather than a company‑specific catalyst. Big US banks boost Washington lobbying muscle as policy fights heat up
• Negative Sentiment: Deployment risks: agentic AI raises execution, model‑risk and regulatory/compliance scrutiny (and could cap future headcount growth).
