Chart of the Week: Early Innings

While we expect AI adoption to drive meaningful productivity gains over the long term, companies remain in the early stages of quantifying its earnings impact. In fact, during the 4Q25 earnings season, 70% of S&P 500 companies mentioned AI during earnings calls, but only 1% quantified a boost to earnings from AI productivity gains. This suggests that while companies are eager to adopt the technology, they are still navigating how to translate it into concrete bottom-line results. We expect this gap to start to close over the next few years, potentially providing a material boost to both earnings and the broader economy.
