AI Stocks vs S&P 500 Growth
The Kobeissi Letter's grouped bar chart drew 204.3K views on X: 0.9x its typical post and #23 of 48 The Kobeissi Letter charts we track by views. Read Oct 13, 2026.
The gap between AI names and the rest of the market is historic:
Why it spread
It spread because it landed on a hot topic that week, came from an independent author, and framed a historic gap with concrete measured numbers: a basket of 42 AI stocks generated 67% of the S&P 500's price return since the start of 2024, contributing +22 percentage points to the index's +33% gain, which drew 114,365 views, 405 likes, 37 reposts, 12 quotes, and 68 saves.
What worked
- The post leads with a plain-language claim about a historic gap and then backs it with three linked figures: 42 AI stocks, 67% of the index's price return, and +22 percentage points of a +33% gain.
- The grouped-bar chart shows AI stocks dominating S&P 500 returns, earnings, and capex growth, so one visual carries three related comparisons instead of a single number.
- It is branded and carries a source line, and the account is an independent author posting on a hot topic that week, which together with an above average quote rate helped it travel.
What to borrow
We can take our own dataset and build a grouped-bar chart that shows one dominant group against the rest across several measures, then write the headline as a plain gap statement and follow it with the exact contribution and total so readers can check the math.
Careful
Do not copy the historic framing as if it proves a lasting trend, and do not over-read the engagement: the view count is large but likes, reposts, quotes, and saves are modest, and the account's typical performance is not given, so we cannot say how unusual this result really was.
