Grant Thornton survey finds CFO profit optimism at record high

Grant Thornton’s third-quarter 2026 CFO Survey found record optimism about corporate profits despite continued uncertainty surrounding the U.S. economy, tax policy, and trade. Among nearly 230 U.S. finance leaders surveyed, 80% expect their organization’s net profit to grow over the next 12 months, the highest level recorded across 18 quarters, while 35% anticipate growth exceeding 10%. AI is supporting that confidence, with 84% saying returns on AI investment are meeting or exceeding expectations, although only 33% reported enhanced revenue as a benefit. Transformation efforts also remain strong, with 84% saying progress is meeting or exceeding expectations, despite budget constraints and competing priorities. Meanwhile, 60% said tariffs and shifting trade policies have negatively affected their organizations, but 61% remain positive about customer demand, compared with 46% who are optimistic about the broader U.S. economy.
