ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood said in a post on X that U.S. corporate pretax profits now stand at 13.2% of GDP, the highest level in decades. Pandemic-era stimulus helped fuel the earlier climb, but the factors supporting margins today are shifting, she said. More companies are adopting AI and productivity tools to optimize operations and defend profitability, though Wood said the market is still early in assessing how AI will affect earnings. She expects a widening gap between companies that deploy AI effectively and those that cannot adapt, with productivity gains from AI acting as a key engine for sustained profit growth. The impact, she said, will become visible gradually in the coming years.
ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood says U.S. corporate pretax profits have reached 13.2% of GDP, a share not seen in decades. Writing on X, she noted that pandemic-era monetary and fiscal stimulus had helped drive the earlier surge in margins, but the forces supporting today's level are shifting.
More companies, Wood said, are deploying artificial intelligence and productivity tools to streamline operations and protect profitability. The market, in her view, is still in the early stages of measuring what AI means for corporate earnings.
Winners and Losers Over AI Adoption
Wood argues that companies which put AI to work effectively will pull further away from those that fail to adapt. Productivity gains from AI, she added, could emerge as a key driver of sustained profit growth, with the effect building gradually over the next several years.
