NYSE:IE News 2 February 2026

February 2, 2026, 5:03 PM EST. Investors show renewed interest in Goldman Sachs and Broadcom. Goldman Sachs was named financial advisor for Coterra's $58 billion all-stock merger with Devon, the largest energy deal since 2024, bolstering its investment banking revenue, which made up 15% last year. The stock has risen 7.6% year-to-date, outpacing the S&P 500. Meanwhile, Broadcom shares are down nearly 20% from December highs but draw a buy rating from Mizuho, citing increased earnings from custom chip orders, including a potential $10-$15 billion client, Meta Platforms. Broadcom also supports Google's tensor processing units, with expected price hikes boosting profitability. Broadcom holds a 2 (hold) rating from Cramer's club with a $425 price target. Goldman Sachs maintains a 2 rating with a $1,050 target, favored for potential rebound amid increased mergers and acquisitions activity.
