<abstract displayLabel="Summary">After years of decline, global economic profit has rebounded to an all-time high, reaching approximately $1.2 trillion annually between 2020 and 2024 50% above the 20052009 levels driven largely by the Magnificent Seven tech companies, strong performance in North America and China, and selective gains in the energy and materials sector. While economic profit did not outpace GDP, it caught up, and the recovery reflects a renewed ability among companies to create value above their cost of capital. North America accounted for 86% of recent growth, with notable contributions from consumer goods, pharmaceuticals, and industrials, while China saw gains in consumer products and tech. However, Europe and parts of Asia lagged, and energy and materials sectors showed mixed results across regions. The report emphasizes the importance of strategic investment, innovation, and policy reforme specially in Europe to sustain long-term profitability and growth</abstract>
