S&P 500 AI P&L Evidence
An auditable report examining what 433 S&P 500 reporters disclose about AI spending, operating results, financial effects, and 2027 guidance.
Why it surfaced
The report finds that 253 companies mentioned AI, but only 18 named a spending path, 13 measured a result, and none showed a comparable spend-to-return bridge. It also keeps 22 AI providers separate, links claims to retained primary documents, and plainly marks what the evidence cannot establish.
