56% of Companies Have Seen Zero Financial Return From AI Investments, PwC Survey Says

PwC’s Global CEO Survey of 4,454 executives across 95 countries reveals that 56% of companies have seen no financial benefit—neither higher revenue nor lower costs—from AI investments over the past year. Only 12% reported achieving both revenue growth and cost reduction, typically those with enterprise‑wide AI foundations. Despite the lack of returns, AI spending shows no sign of slowing, while CEO optimism about near‑term revenue growth fell to 30%, down from 38% last year.
