The Kobeissi Letter's bar chart drew 257K views on X: 1.1x its typical post and #53 of 131 The Kobeissi Letter charts we track by views. Read Oct 23, 2026.

This is unprecedented.

Posted on X by @KobeissiLetter (The Kobeissi Letter), Oct 21, 2026. Source: x.com

Why it spread

It spread because it landed on a hot topic that week and came from a big source, reaching 212,093 views with 1,929 likes, 206 reposts, 39 quotes and 254 saves.

What worked

  • The post opens with a short punchy line, 'This is unprecedented,' which frames the chart as a big claim before any numbers appear.
  • The chart is a simple bar chart of top contributors to expected S&P 500 earnings growth, so the ranking is readable at a glance.
  • It names the two companies and their tickers in the text and shows a source line, which makes a bold claim feel checkable.

What to borrow

We could take one hot theme of the week and make a single ranked bar chart of the top contributors, with a short framing line and a clear source line, using our own data.

Careful

Do not copy the low design polish or the medium self labelling, and do not over read the spread as proof the chart itself was strong, since the hot topic and the big source did much of the work.
