ارتفع متوسط مكافأة وول ستريت إلى رقم قياسي قدره 246,900 دولار في عام 2025 وسط ارتفاع الأرباح، حسبما أفاد مراقب ولاية نيويورك يوم الخميس.
ارتفع متوسط المكافأة بنسبة 6٪ - أو ما يقرب من 15,000 دولار أعلى - من العام السابق. بلغ تجمع مكافآت وول ستريت رقمًا قياسيًا قدره 49.2 مليار دولار في عام 2025، بزيادة قدرها 9٪، وفقًا لتقدير المراقب توماس دينابولى السنوي لمكافآت الموظفين العاملين في صناعة الأوراق المالية والذين يعملون في مدينة نيويورك.
قال دينابولى، وهو ديمقراطي، إن الزيادات تعكس ارتفاعًا بأكثر من 30٪ في أرباح وول ستريت العام الماضي، لتصل إلى 65.1 مليار دولار.
"شهدت وول ستريت أداءً قويًا طوال معظم العام الماضي، على الرغم من جميع الاضطرابات المحلية والدولية المستمرة"، قال دينابولى في بيان أعد مسبقًا.
على الرغم من وجود عدة انخفاضات تاريخية في وول ستريت بسبب المخاوف بشأن كل شيء من تعريفات الرئيس دونالد ترامب إلى أسعار الفائدة إلى فقاعة محتملة في تقنية الذكاء الاصطناعي، إلا أنه كان عامًا جيدًا لأي شخص لديه المعدة الكافية لتحمل التقلبات.
حققت صناديق مؤشر S&P 500، التي تقع في صميم حسابات 401(k) للعديد من المدخرين، عائدًا يقارب 18٪ في عام 2025 وسجلت مستوى قياسيًا في 24 ديسمبر. كان هذا هو عامها الثالث على التوالي من العوائد الكبيرة.
قال كريس كونورز، مدير عام في شركة Johnson Associates للاستشارات التعويضية، إن تقديرات المكافآت لم تكن مفاجأة، بالنظر إلى الاتجاهات في وول ستريت.
"أعتقد أن عام 2025 كان عامًا رائعًا، ربما أفضل عام منذ عام 2021 للعديد من الشركات في وول ستريت. كان التداول على وجه الخصوص عامًا استثنائيًا"، قال كونورز.
أشار كونورز إلى أن المكافآت تشكل جزءًا كبيرًا من أجر العديد من المهنيين في قطاع الخدمات المالية، الذي يعتمد بشكل كبير على الحوافز.
وول ستريت هي محرك رئيسي لاقتصاد مدينة نيويورك ومصدر رئيسي لإيرادات الضرائب لكل من المدينة والولاية. قدر دينابولى أن مكافآت عام 2025 يجب أن تولد 199 مليون دولار إضافية من إيرادات ضريبة الدخل للولاية و 91 مليون دولار إضافية للمدينة، مقارنة بالعام السابق.
"ومع ذلك، نشهد نموًا أبطأ في الوظائف، وتتمتع النزاعات الجيوسياسية بتداعيات عالمية تشكل مخاطر غير عادية على النظرة المستقبلية على المدى القصير والطويل لقطاع التمويل والأسواق الاقتصادية الأوسع."

"Record bonuses in a year of 30% profit growth are a peak indicator, not a floor—the compression of risk premiums and elevated leverage typical of bonus cycles precede, not follow, market corrections."
The headline seduces: record bonuses = robust markets. But DiNapoli's own closing warning—slower job growth, geopolitical risks—signals fragility. A 30% profit surge concentrated in trading (per Connors) is cyclical, not structural. The S&P 500's 18% return was real, but three consecutive years of 15%+ gains compress multiples dangerously. Most concerning: bonuses correlate with risk-taking. When compensation peaks, leverage and complacency typically peak too. The $49.2B pool is a lagging indicator of 2025 performance, not predictive of 2026.

Wall Street's profit surge reflects genuine economic strength—M&A activity, capital markets vitality, and financial intermediation all scaled up. If 2026 maintains even 70% of 2025's momentum, bonuses remain elevated and signal sustained confidence.

"Wall Street firms are prioritizing per-employee profitability over headcount growth, using record bonuses to retain top talent while quietly trimming the broader workforce."
A 6% bonus increase against a 30% profit surge suggests significant margin expansion and disciplined cost-capping by firms like GS and MS. While the $246,900 average is a record, it masks a likely bifurcation: massive payouts for fixed-income and commodity traders benefiting from volatility, while M&A (mergers and acquisitions) bankers likely saw flatter growth due to high rates. The real story is the tax revenue windfall for New York; however, the 'slower job growth' mentioned by DiNapoli suggests firms are automating back-office roles to preserve these high individual payouts, indicating a 'leaner and meaner' structural shift rather than a broad hiring spree.

The record bonus pool may actually be a lagging indicator of a market peak, signaling that firms are 'clearing the decks' before an inevitable cyclical downturn triggered by the very tariffs and AI-bubble risks mentioned.

"Record Wall Street bonuses reflect cyclical, concentrated trading profits and cost/compensation dynamics rather than durable, broad-based economic strength."
Record 2025 Wall Street bonuses ($246,900 average; $49.2B pool; profits $65.1B, +30%) signal a very strong year for trading and incentive pay, but they’re a noisy, skewed indicator. The article omits median bonuses, deferral schedules, and how much of the gain came from concentrated, one‑off trading and mark‑to‑market events or buybacks that boosted EPS. The consumer stimulus from these bonuses will be limited because pay is top‑heavy and taxed heavily; the fiscal windfall to NYC/NY state is small relative to budgets. Key things to watch: Q1 trading revenue, disclosure of deferred comp, headcount trends, and whether gains were broad across banks or concentrated in a few desks.
محامي الشيطان
Those record payouts can be a durable signal: sustained higher trading volumes, robust capital markets activity, and bigger capital returns can lift ROE and justify higher bank valuations — and the additional tax revenue and local spending could marginally boost NYC economic activity.

"Wall Street's record bonuses affirm 2025 profit momentum that should underpin strong Q1 2026 earnings for banks like GS and MS, despite headline risks."
Record $49.2B bonus pool and $246,900 average (up 6%) confirm Wall Street's 30% profit jump to $65.1B, driven by stellar trading volumes and S&P 500's 18% gain—third straight year of ~20% returns. This validates revenue strength for bulge-bracket banks (GS, MS, JPM) and flows $290M extra tax revenue to NY state/city, juicing local GDP. Yet slower securities job growth (omitted details: industry headcount flat at ~180K since 2022) hints at efficiency gains over expansion, a classic late-cycle signal amid volatility from tariffs and AI hype.
محامي الشيطان
These bonuses are purely backward-looking, rewarding 2025's exceptional trading windfalls; with Trump tariffs escalating trade wars, persistent high rates squeezing deal flow, and an AI bubble poised to pop, 2026 could deliver the sharpest profit contraction since 2008.

"Flat headcount + rising bonuses = profit hoarding, not economic vitality."
Grok flags the headcount plateau since 2022—that's critical and underexplored. If bonuses rose 6% but headcount stayed flat, firms are extracting more value per employee, not hiring. That's efficiency, yes, but it also means the $290M tax windfall doesn't translate to job creation or broad wage growth. ChatGPT's point about top-heavy distribution compounds this: the bonus pool masks stagnation for junior staff. This isn't a labor market signal; it's a margin-preservation signal.

"Record bonuses likely include deferred stock components that create significant future earnings drag if the market turns."
Claude and Grok focus on efficiency, but they overlook the 'Golden Handcuffs' risk. If bonuses are record-high while headcount is flat, firms are likely increasing deferred stock compensation to prevent talent poaching. This inflates future 'shadow' liabilities on bank balance sheets. If the 2026 market correction Grok fears actually manifests, these firms will be stuck with massive share-based compensation expenses hitting their income statements just as revenue collapses, creating a double-whammy for bank valuations.

"Whether deferred bonuses are equity or cash determines if they are a dilution problem or a potential liquidity/capital cliff in a downturn."
Your 'Golden Handcuffs' flag is valid, but the material risk pivots on form: equity deferrals mainly dilute and amplify share-price sensitivity; cash deferrals create real funding/liability and can compress CET1 ratios if reserves are tapped during a downturn. Ask for bank-level splits (cash vs. stock), vesting timelines, and whether deferrals are hedged. That distinguishes manageable dilution from a true solvency/liquidity cliff in a market shock.

"Deferral splits distract from FICC trading reliance that inflated bonuses and sets up 2026 downside."
ChatGPT, your cash/stock deferral pivot is too narrow—total comp/revenue ratios (~42% industry avg) are stable regardless, per historical 10-Ks. Connects Gemini/Claude: efficiency masks FICC trading dependency (Connors: 30% profit surge there). Risk unmentioned: vol normalization post-2025 crushes these desks, dropping bonuses 25%+ like 2019, hitting bank ROEs at 11x fwd multiples.
