Odaily Planet Daily report: Cathie Wood, founder of ARK Invest, posted on X that U.S. corporate pre-tax profits as a percentage of GDP have reached 13.2%, a level not seen in decades.

Wood noted that the large-scale monetary and fiscal stimulus during the pandemic previously drove rapid growth in corporate profits, but the factors supporting current profit levels are shifting. She believes an increasing number of companies are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and productivity-enhancing tools to optimize operations and protect profit margins.

She noted that the market is still in the early stages of observing how AI impacts corporate profitability, and companies that can effectively leverage AI to enhance efficiency will further widen the gap with those unable to adapt to technological change.

Wood said that productivity gains from AI could become a key driver of sustained corporate profit growth, with related impacts gradually emerging over the coming years.
