Analysis: The AI Craze in the SEC Filing May Have Reached the 'Keyword Peak,' with the Business AI Investment Return Still to Be Verified
BlockBeats News, July 18th. By observing the usage trends of buzzwords in SEC filings of US-listed companies, one can infer changes in market narratives. When a certain set of keywords reaches its peak, the market value associated with them often experiences a decline.
Analysis suggests that corporate language swiftly adjusts to technological, cultural, and regulatory changes. Currently, an increasing number of companies are heavily employing 'AI'-related expressions in their financial reports and disclosure documents, viewing it as a new growth driver. However, there is currently a lack of substantial end-users capable of providing auditable, verifiable AI return on investment (ROI), despite continued growth in capital expenditures (CapEx) and operating expenses (OpEx).
Data indicates that the term 'AI' began steadily heating up since late 2022 and is now widely present in the filings of large enterprises. Meanwhile, 'Agentic' (Agentification) is showing a steeper growth curve, being seen as the latest buzzword for AI.
Analysts state that AI technology itself is indeed real and may be one of the most significant technological transformations of this century. However, the path from investment to actual value generation remains unclear. Currently, the market is still in its early stages, with a few companies reaping substantial benefits from AI infrastructure investments. In the future, there will be a need to realign value distribution to enable broader participation and benefits.

The 10-year US Treasury yield has surpassed 5%, making bonds more attractive relative to stocks than at any point in the past 25 years. The earnings yield of stocks, as measured by the inverse of the S&P 500’s price-to-earnings ratio, is now lower than the 10-year US Treasury yield, resulting in a clear yield suppression effect on the stock market from bonds. According to the Shiller model, the S&P 500 may outperform bonds by only about 1% annually over the next decade. The 20-year paradigm of stocks outperforming bonds has officially come to an end.
