The Financial Post reports in its Saturday, Aug. 1, edition that United States companies that are integrating artificial intelligence capabilities are poised for stronger profit margins, according to Morgan Stanley analysts. A Bloomberg dispatch to the Post reports that the analyst group led by Michael Wilson said margin expectations are "improving most clearly" for companies where AI is central to their investment thesis and pricing power is neutral to strong. He expects about 100 basis points of net-margin expansion through 2027 related to adoption. Mr. Wilson wrote in a note: "The outlook for AI adopters is becoming increasingly compelling. This is especially important because several industries often viewed as vulnerable -- including transports, software and services, and professional services -- also rank among the more attractive adopter groups." Morgan's analysis indicated stocks including Halliburton, Bank of America, CVS Health and Nextera Energy are among the prime beneficiaries of AI adoption. The likes of Alphabet, Meta and Nvidia, which rode the first wave of the AI-driven rally, also continue to screen strongly in Mr. Wilson's research. The outlook for AI adopters is becoming increasingly compelling.
