2024 CEO Sentiment Study Report Available

Bullish Financial Performance Index Announced

Chicago, IL—February 8, 2024— The results of a national study on CEO Sentiment for 2024 is now available in a published report by the Chief Executives Council. The research identified a new CEO Financial Performance Index™ (FPI), and a CEO Spending/Budget Index™ (SBI) that will serve as important benchmarks now and in the future.

The 2024 CEO Sentiment Study was conducted in November 2023 thru January 2024 via a national survey of CEOs, Presidents, and related titles. The study identified “bullish” outlooks for financial metrics, hiring and technology investment; along with “confident” spending and budget priorities. A CEO Financial Performance Index (FPI) of 155% was reinforced by 69% of respondents predicting increased revenue in 2024. A CEO Spending Budget Index (SBI) of 85% was driven by only 25% of respondents increasing spend in 2024.

A “greatest concerns, what keeps you up at night” question identified a variety of responses leading with talent challenges, but closely followed by recession, organization financial performance, inflation, interest rates, geopolitical risk, and supply chain.

“The 2024 CEO Sentiment study uncovered a ‘bullish’ sentiment on company financial performance, along with a ‘confident’ sentiment regarding spending based on challenging economic environments”, states Neil Brown, CEO, Chief Executives Council. “The complimentary Research Study report offers great insight that will help C-Suite executives with 2024 planning.”

The study and webcast were produced by the Chief Executives Council, a community and platform for C-Suite executives focused on training and resources, career development, networking and recognition.
