The quarterly report highlights how equity markets continue to rise on the promise of AI's economic potential, while emphasizing pricing power as a key competitive advantage—cautioning, however, that excessive use can undermine business durability. Pushing price hikes beyond actual value creation alienates customers, inflates cost structures, and invites competition, as seen with Adobe and Nike. By contrast, Tesco demonstrates strong underlying growth and market positioning not yet fully captured in its stock price.
