Goldman Sachs made two significant acquisition announcements on July 27, 2026. The firm announced the successful acquisition of XORKETS FX, a company known for its advanced algorithmic trading systems, and stated its intention to apply for a Nasdaq listing for the acquired entity. This move is aimed at strengthening Goldman Sachs' technological capabilities in algorithmic and quantitative trading.
In a separate transaction, the private equity arm of Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs Alternatives, has agreed to acquire a controlling stake in the Italian medical equipment manufacturer Numantec from White Bridge Investment. The deal values Numantec at approximately €700 million. This acquisition is seen as a bet on a business with stable revenues in the healthcare sector. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter.
