AI's insight into which companies are perceived to be at greatest political risk

Permutable AI's latest analysis on political risk for companies, highlighting those perceived as most vulnerable using AI-driven news sentiment analysis.

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, July 18, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- With the world becoming increasingly divided, political uncertainty is now a top concern for CEOs. Political instability in one region can ripple across the globe, significantly impacting businesses. Political risk—the chance that political decisions or instability will hurt a company's profits—is an escalating issue in our globalized economy. Our intricate and interdependent supply chains mean we are influenced by both domestic and international political landscapes.

Navigating this sea of information to discern which companies are most vulnerable to political risk can be daunting. Our analysis aims to clarify this complexity, offering insights into which companies are perceived to be at greatest risk amid political upheaval. To derive our rankings, Permutable AI's machine learning model combed through the internet, examining half a million articles daily across relevant data sources and thousands of data points. Our aim was to identify the companies with the highest perceived political risk—those associated with the least favorable online sentiments. This is what we have found.

Key findings: Top 10 companies with the highest perceived political risk

- Gazprom: High negative sentiment due to geopolitical tensions from the Ukraine war, sanctions, regulatory hurdles, and a history of using gas supplies as a political tool.

- Apple: Negative sentiment influenced by privacy and data security controversies, compliance issues with global regulatory standards, and frequent battles with governments over policies.

- Credit Suisse: High negative sentiment due to financial mismanagement, regulatory failures, and involvement in financial scandals, such as the Greensill Capital and Archegos Capital Management collapses.

- NVIDIA: Strong negative sentiment from geopolitical tensions, particularly export controls on advanced chips to China, and tensions concerning Taiwan.
